You Don't Need Me to Tell You |
You don’t need me to tell you |
That there’s nothing after this |
That nothing came before now |
That’s just the way it is |
Any mark you think you leave here |
Well, it will perish with the flesh |
The purpose of this sorry life |
Well, that’s anybody’s guess |
And yet we persevere |
Like flowers on the tide |
The choice is seldom mentioned |
The choice is set aside |
For once its name is spoken |
It enters by the heart |
It haunts the empty chambers |
And it pulls the heart apart |
You’re sound of mind and body |
But I’ve watched you from afar |
Your rationale is fading |
It’s fading like a star |
Amongst these constellations |
You always found the hope |
But now I see a worried man |
Behind the telescope |
I’d like to say I’ve evidence |
The proof that all men seek |
But I’m as lost as anyone |
The spirit, it is weak |
You don’t need me to tell you |
That there’s nothing after this |
That nothing came before now |
That’s just the way it is |
