Stavros Hughes - A Vanishing Act

One, two, three, ooh
Sat before the open door
You'd left through yesterday
Throw me down, leave me to drown, I've earned it
Save your time, I've lost my mind, forgot
Just what it means to be
So strange to you, and stranger to me
The joy you couldn't stand
I'd heed every command
Just quit it with the jokes
You said I was the most
Insufferable thing
You'd taken 'neath your wing
But told me I was loved
Each line you used to cross
Each win had been a loss
The weight of every word
Reduced, I'd never heard
Such trite claims tossed around
As if they were the sound
Of God come down to Earth
And yet, despite my pride
I reside
Beneath your shallow ruse
And I lose, oh no
Will you break beneath the weight
Of lies you sold yourself?
Paper thin and caving in, it's desperate
Here we stand, though hand in hand, I know
You'd prefer me to kneel
I hope you'll learn just how it feels
The part you always played
Mistakes you'd never made
It's me who dropped the ball
You'd understood it all
Always a hand to lend
You trained me to depend
One day I'll learn to be
A fraud who doubts himself
Can't trust nobody else
His back against the wall
He can't seem to recall
The last flicker of light
That died behind his eyes
The day he learned to lead
And yet, despite my pride
I reside
Beneath your shallow ruse
And I lose, oh no
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Oh no
