The Art of Disappearing

Now you see me

Now you don't

I bet you won't

I'm mastering the trick of the empty chair

You turn around and I'm simply not there

I'm a glitch in the design, a ghost in the code

Walking the shoulder of the lonely road

You want a reaction, you want a fight

But I've already faded into the night

I'm blind to the humanity you think you show

I'm numb to the feelings that you think you know

It's not a magic trick, it's a state of mind

Leaving the wreckage far behind

I'm perfecting the art of disappearing

While the crowd is screaming and the crowd is cheering

I'm slipping out the back while you take the bow

Don't ask me where, don't ask me how

I'm static on the screen, I'm a shadow on the wall

I'm not really here at all

Yeah, I'm gone before the curtain creates the barrier

The art of disappearing just got scarier

You try to pin me down like a butterfly

But I'm just a rumor, I'm just a lie

I dine with my demons and we laugh at the plans

Of trying to hold water in your hands

I'm pretending I don't care, but the joke is on you

Because honestly, darling, it's actually true

I'm blind to the humanity you think you show

I'm numb to the feelings that you think you know

It's not a magic trick, it's a state of mind

Leaving the wreckage far behind

I'm perfecting the art of disappearing

While the crowd is screaming and the crowd is cheering

I'm slipping out the back while you take the bow

Don't ask me where, don't ask me how

I'm static on the screen, I'm a shadow on the wall

I'm not really here at all

Can you hear me?

No?

Good

That means it's working

One, two, three, vanish!

I'm perfecting the art of disappearing

While the crowd is screaming and the crowd is cheering

I'm slipping out the back while you take the bow

Don't ask me where, don't ask me how

I was never really here

Just a glitch

Just a glitch
