  • This city's made of diamonds
    And tomorrow glass will grow
    On the freedoms that divide us
    They're coming after me
    Flashback nineteen eighty-four
    Now who's knock-knocking at your door?
    A thought that starts a riot
    They're coming after me now

    Life is not the same
    I am one but
    Sparks turn into flames

    Will you take what's in my head?
    And erase me when I'm dead?
    'Cause the future is now
    Now I'm disappearing

    The day has turned to night
    Can you save me from the light?
    'Cause the future is here
    This is how I disappear

    Running down a spiral
    With the light of better men
    Shouting progress is survival
    Take one last look and see me
    Now you see me, now you don't
    No vow to break
    No string of hope
    My hero, your pariah
    They're coming after me now

    Life is just God's game
    I am one but
    Sparks turn into flames

    And you get what you deserve
    When revenge is what you serve
    'Cause the future is now
    Now I'm disappearing

    I'll sink into the night
    And I'm turning off the lights
    'Cause the future is here
    This is how I disappear

    So the end's what you make it
    And that's what you're looking for
    This is the future
    The future is now

    Disappear, disappear
    Disappear, disappear

    Now turn off the lights
    The skies are blue inside you
    Turn off the lights
    They'll get inside of you

    Will you take what's in my head?
    And erase me when I'm dead?
    'Cause the future is now
    Now I'm disappearing

    The day has turned to night
    Can you save me from the light?
    'Cause the future is here
    This is how I disappear, disappear, disappear, disappear Writer/s: BRYAN HOLLAND
