Alex Rushfirth - Vanishing Man Lyrics

Vanishing man
A guitar on his back
Making love to the future
Making peace with the past

Nothing was fake
He said God's in the lake
Always pushing me sideways
As we'd walk by the edge

Push the darkness away
Push the darkness away
Push the dark dark dark darkness away

Vanishing man
Said he'd go to Iraq
Said he rally the troops there
And fight the US

And when we were ten
He'd tell stories of Zen
All of this had to happen
So he packed up and left

Fight the darkness away
Fight the darkness away
Fight the dark dark dark darkness away

And when he came back
He'd a gun in his hand
And from ceiling to floorboards
Was the smell of black paint

And the air was cement
And his voice was an axe
Cried if Jesus can't save me
Then nobody can

Wash the darkness away
Wash the darkness away
Wash the dark dark dark darkness away
