With No Goodbye

The spotlight, was burning like a flame

I was, a body and a name

And all the rest was gone

Trapped like a hermit in a cage

I left the others on the stage

And still the show went on

Take a bow, from the back of the crowd

It’s over now

And I now see

The world turns without me

My shoulders never bore the heavy burden

I was just another person

And the Sun rose

Before the age of pharaohs

And after I am gone, another dawn will fill the sky

With no goodbye

I crave the comfort and control

Then chase the rabbit down the hole

And wonder why I’m lost

I build a palace so serene

Then douse it all with gasoline

I light a match and watch

Let it burn, without an ounce of concern

I never learn

And I now see

The world turns without me

My shoulders never bore the heavy burden

I was just another person

And the Sun rose

Before the age of pharaohs

And after I am gone, another dawn will fill the sky

With no goodbye

And I’m steering, away from what I’m fearing

But every twist and turn’s a new concern that burns my soul

The rudder’s rusted tight and I’m careening through the night

I let it go and take me where it will

The spotlight, was burning like a flame

I was, a body and a name

And all the rest was gone

And I now see

The world turns without me

My shoulders never bore the heavy burden

I was just another person

And the Sun rose

Before the age of pharaohs

And after I am gone, another dawn will fill the sky

With no goodbye

With no goodbye

With no goodbye

With no goodbye

With no
