[Verse 1]
I want to vanish, this is my fondest wish
To go where I cannot be captured, laid on a decorated dish
Even in splendor, this curious fate
Is more than I care to surrender, now it's too late

[Bridge]
Whether in wonder or indecent haste
You arrange the mirrors and the spools
To snare the rare and precious jewels
That were only made of paste

[Verse 2]
If you should stumble upon my last remark
I'm crying in the wilderness, I'm trying my best to make it dark
How can I tell you I'm rarer than most?
I'm certain as a lost dog pondering a signpost

[Bridge]
Whether in wonder or indecent haste
You arrange the mirrors and the spools
To snare the rare and precious jewels
That were only made of paste

[Verse 3]
I want to vanish, this is my last request
I've given you the awful truth, now give me my rest
