When You Vanish

Color fades bright to gray when you leave town Mind's a whirlpool spinning fast down and down Tangerine dreams dissolve without sound Nightmares crawl in when you're not around Neon shadows whisper lies take me low Streetlights flicker like the stars lose their glow Voices echo in the silence profound Lost my compass when you're not around You disappear the world goes dark and wild Spirals in my head can't stay mild Everything a mess reality unwound Nothing makes sense when you're not around Chaos moonlight drips like paint to the ground Time stretches out broken and unbound Heartbeats stagger with a hollowed-pound Feels like fiction when you're not around Kaleidoscope shatters twist the mind lickety split Gravity flips in a psychedelic fit World's a tornado colors all drowned Tangled in madness when you're not around You disappear the world goes dark and wild Spirals in my head can't stay mild Everything a mess reality unwound Nothing makes sense when you're not around
