Vanishing Twin - Past Lives

When you were young you felt so old

Held a lifetime in your bones

Spent your years wishing you could disappear

Like breathe on the bedroom mirror

Phantom limb, Vanishing Twin

In a room without a view

You forget what you never knew

But you never leave it all behind

Memory and the muscle binds?

Phantom limb, Vanishing Twin

When you’re grown never leave your home

Papa comes when you close your eyes?

Swim silent through a sea of sound

Never to be found

Phantom limb, Vanishing Twin

If you could, you would flip that switch

If you could, you would flick your wrist

Cross your fingers, in that trick?

See the one who ceased to exist

To be a ghost, a relic, an apparition

A figment of the imagination

To walk the halls, to walk through walls

To disappear, never to be seen again
