Missing Persons Lyrics - Renaissance

It's tragic--keeps on happening all the time 

It's the kind of thing that I fear 

I feel I'm making no headway 

Walls I know are starting to disappear 

It's like they'd never existed, strange but true 

As sure as I'm talking to you 

Now you see it, now I don't want to frighten you 

But I'm simply here standing alone 

Chorus I: 

Trapped in these shadows that belong to missing persons 

Names faded from memory join the list and then mark time 

Once I would have been glad to have made your acquaintance 

Now I feel a danger brought about by circumstance 

Obsessed, the quality of life escapes me now 

It's one of the things I lack 

From the east and to the west 

I feel it's time that I was heading back 

I can't control these feelings that I have 

I've never been one to hide 

Become a pillar of society 

But don't let your morals slide 

Chorus II: 

Or you can find that you've become a missing person 

A here today gone tomorrow breeze and lost in the night 

Once I would have been glad to have made your acquaintance 

Now I feel a danger brought about by circumstance 

But I know in the end, I'll be safe, we'll be happy 

After finding myself we'll be fine 

Any problems we have will be gone in a moment 

I'll become just a state of the mind 

I want you close 

I need you near 

You have to be here 

I turned around 

You've gone again 

Chorus I 

Chorus II
