Some Just Vanish Lyrics

When you find me pinned beneath the wreckage

Call off your sirens,

Call off your search.

Everything is quiet on fire

Everything is warm

Inside the glow

With television static, with engines purring

Let me sleep.

One by one will my friends leave my side, or will my plane just drop out of the sky?



I can't afford to sleep through, the virus hard at work.

It's called me out, it's called me out

This body will collapse

Useless to the world

One sudden drop

One by one as my senses fade away

Tied to machines that feed signals to my brain

This is the end

The doctor draws a blade

With patient hands, he writes his name in Braille.



I can't slow my breathing down when I'm staring at the floor

Underneath the threat of giving in, I give it all once more

Quietly dissolving under lights that call me home, I can hear the voices trailing off



Someone is shutting me down

Someone is shoving me underneath waves of lead

I wasn't strong enough to swim back up to the surface to find you

This is how it begins

Quietly counting backwards from ten

Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three

But I can't concentrate on anything



No one can save me.

I'm not even here

I am drifting from consciousness into oblivion

Someone is shutting me down.
