Goodbye
Verse 1
Time is everything
And time isn’t on our side
Soon now comes the dawn
I have nowhere to hide
I tried, I really did
To stand there by your side
To change, to bury deep
The shadows of my mind
Verse 2
I can’t change what I am
Or all the things I’ve done
The hour is drawing near
This fire will be undone
Hopes won’t change a thing
So please don’t say a word
I’m not a child of light
So prayers won’t be heard
Bridge
So hold me now
Yes hold me now
Hold me until
The end
Chorus
Now you let go of my hand
as I fade into the night where I belong
Now we part our ways in solemn silence
you can’t follow me beyond
now a single tear will shine in the darkness
at the corner of your eye
now a bitter smile will shed it’s ashen light
as we whisper “goodbye”

Now you let go of my hand
as I fade into the night where I belong
Now we part our ways in solemn silence
you can’t follow me beyond
marvelous
now you speak my language
no one has ever gone beyond the cemetery and beyond
coz there is nothing beyond beyond
that ever will be or was
life is just a consequence of some lost seeds pause

Thank you :)
"Beyond" doesn't need to be afterlife. When we realize most in this life are illusions and delusions, we may appear like undead in the eyes of those still obsessing about stuff that doesn't matter much.
