Lyric

Vanishing Figure (feat. Sean Hester)

Sailing Before The Wind

You're reenacting events in the past

This wasn’t a part of your broadcast

Reminiscing won't revive what you've lost (What you’ve lost)

The way it was in the beginning

Is it long gone or missing?

Reminiscing but no one calls you back (Calls you back)

Before I knew it, night had fallen

Hear the beating of my heart

Revealing how we drifted apart

Taking me back to the days we had

This moment had colorized

Chasing a vibrant desire again

Through the shaded pavement

Like a shooting star

Time flies in an instant

Proving to be distant

Can you hear me?

I’ll stay right here

I see the lies in your eyes

Your hands trembling with despair

Can you see me?

I am standing here

Feels like I’m a half step behind the tide

But I’m still holding on for dear life (I’m still holding on)

The fist of time is relentless

Relentless

Swinging back with a vengeance

Dispersion happened in a moment

The fist of time is relentless

Swinging back with a vengeance

Taking me back to the days we had

Chasing a vibrant desire again

Taking me back to the days we had

This moment had colorized

Chasing a vibrant desire again

Through the shaded pavement

Taking me back to the days we had

This moment had colorized

Chasing a vibrant desire again

All we’ve lost has faded
