Watching Yourself Slowly Disappear Songtext
von Mystery Jets

We′re born and we're raised
To stand up tall and straight
Then torn and reshaped
At the people′s gains
Oh, to be a real man
Hangs heavy in your hands
But you keep quiet, do the best you can
To prove it to yourself, then everyone else
When it seems like the only direction is down

No shelter from the shame
So you sit and drink away the pain
One to reach, you cannot place a name
So you shoulder all the blame again and again
And see yourself, this hollow shell
This cold and wicked, cruel and wretched hell
That you found, but don't make a sound
Now it seems like the only direction is down


Hey you, up on the edge
Where the bond breaks are beckoning
The wind whips around your head
But the silence is deafening

If you call out, if you call out
If you call out, we'll be here
When you can′t help, when you can′t help
When you can't help feeling weird
Watching yourself slowly disappear
When you can′t help feeling
You're watching yourself slowly disappear

Hey you, up on the edge
Where the bond breaks are beckoning
The wind whips around your head
But the silence is deafening

If you call out, if you call out
If you call out we′ll be here
When you can't help, when you can′t help
When you can't help feeling weird
Watching yourself slowly disappear
Watching yourself slowly disappear


When you can't help feeling
You′re watching yourself, watching yourself
Watching yourself slowly disappear
