The Vanishing Act Lyrics - Bright Eyes

Were you surprised that we never spoke? 

Then in the still of the night when nothing stirs 

I woke and I gathered up some clothes 

I never planned on this but it's the way it goes 

And now it all seems so familiar like pages turned on calendars 

We get the same twelve months to fuck things up-year after year 

And I can't believe how down I am like the well I'm being lowered in 

Now water stops, the bucket drops us farther and farther down 

Farther and farther down 

Well, I guess that you never knew me 

Or at least not well enough 

So I fill my gut with the dark red wine 

Until my brain shuts off and my eyes go blind 

You won't see me there in that thick black air, yeah 

I'll finally make something disappear 

'Cause I've been practicing disappearing 

And I think that I've got it down 

Now there is no sun it's just a cellar 

Nowhere is sky it's just that black, black dirt 

Now there is no sun it's just a cellar 

Nowhere is sky it's just that black, black dirt 

Expanding outwards just echoes for answers 

Not that it matters if its back or its forwards 

Unhappy lovers with baskets of flowers 

Use them as markers 

The place where your bed once stood 

A time when it still felt good 

But you'll get that feeling back 

You just need sometime to think 

Into out of the hell, getting straight in your mind 

But you calculate cause, let me take some time 

But I'm sure you get to feelin' better 

And I just need some time to drink 

So I'll fill my gut with that blood red wine 

Until my insides swim and my veins unwind 

I'll be lying there in that hot white air 

Once that something's gone it might never reappear 

It might never reappear 

It might never reappear 

It might never reappear
