The Vanishing Game

[Verse 1]
Tonight the footsteps and the shadows stay
Inside a windowless hideaway
Just long enough for memories to flash and fade
Like when the falling tears make the quiet flame burn out

[Pre-Chorus]
And the silhouettes that we wore will be tracing a new design
And the characters we played before reappear in a different light
We don't want to be reborn if it resembles the other side
And we whisper in the dark for the last time

[Chorus]
We cover our faces, we black out our names
They say that it's dangerous to play the vanishing game
And they see what they want to believe
And we're safe in this haven when we play the vanishing game

[Post-Chorus]
The vanishing game

[Verse 2]
And when the storm comes down again
Shifting our shapes like a sleight of hand
We'll be pieces of glass sticking out of the sand
To validate their fears that they don't understand, oh, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
And the silhouettes that we wore will be tracing a new design
And the characters we played before reappear in a different light
We don't want to be reborn if it resembles the other side
And we whisper in the dark for the last time

[Chorus]
We cover our faces, we black out our names
They say that it's dangerous to play the vanishing game
And they see what they want to believe
And we're safe in this haven when we play the vanishing game
The vanishing game
