Em G D C
Gone so long I stepped out of the woods
D C G D Em
Well I was misunderstood but in light of it all, well
G D C
I sit back and check their disguise
D C G D Em
Their dark shallow eyes got lost in the haze of the light
G D
So I sit back and watch
C D Em
I see all their masks soon appear
G D
I long for the woods
C D Em
From this place I'll disappear
Em G D C
They all strive to deviate from the norm
D C G D Em
But collectively swarm to be all the same, well
G D C
To alter image prosthetics are worn
D C G D Em
Their primped plastic forms melt in the heat of the light
G D
So I step to the light
C D Em
I see all their masks soon appear
G D
I long for the woods
C D Em
From this place I'll disappear
C Em C D Em
Disappear, disappear, oh, Lord, disappear
