This city is made of diamonds
      G#
And tomorrow glass will grow
        C#
On the freedoms that divide
           A#m
us They're coming after
Cm  Fm
me Flashback 1984
     G#
Now who's knock knocking
                 C#
at your door? A thought
that starts a riot
         A#m          Cm
They're coming after me
C#
now Life is not the
D#        C#
same I am one but
               C#
Sparks turn into flames

         Fm
Will you take
what's in my head?
      G#
And erase me when I'm
                 C#
dead? Cause the future is
         C
now And now I'm disappearing
    Fm
The day has turned to night
         G#
Can you save me from the light?
           C#
Cause the future is here
     Cm                 Fm
And this is how I disappear

Running down a spiral
With the light of better men
Shouting progress is survival
Take one last look and see me
Now you see me, now you don't
No vow to break
No string of hope
My hero, your pariah
They're coming after me now
Life is just God's game
I am one
But sparks turn into flames

Chorus:
And you get what you deserve
When revenge is what you serve
’Cause the future is now
Now I'm disappearing
I'll sink into the night
And I'm turning off the lights
’Cause the future is here
This is how I disappear

C#
So the end's
         D#
what you make it
And that's what
       Fm
you're looking for
C#           D#
This is the future
              Fm
The future is now

C    Fm
Disappear
       G#
I disappear
       C#
I disappear
        C
I disappear

    C#
Now turn off
the lights
The skies are
       D#
blue inside you
C#
Turn off the
lights They'll
              D#
get inside of you

Chorus:
Will you take what's in my head?
And erase me when I'm dead?
’Cause the future is now
Now I'm disappearing
The day has turned to night
Can you save me from the light?
’Cause the future is here
This is how I disappear

Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
