Thinks an office is a coffin
Until off is where you're laid
Yet a thought persists
an optimist who ought to be afraid
saw the "nothing wrong" in writing songs
behind the lonely shade
is the world a sadder place without the words that you conveyed?
when the ladder fell and shattered every bar that we had played?
does it matter in the end
the sound diminished and decayed
and your friends grew tired of fantasy, you're wishing they had stayed?
You don't get to say "I miss you"
You watched your heroes fade
Into the rear view mirror of the villain you portrayed
Stop the pity party listen you don't get to be dismayed
you don't get to be emotional
feel blessed you got it made
