I’m just not prepared for this sadness, oh

Stay down, down in my dreams where I’m safe and warm

I see a band of friends together again, riding a highway with no ending

They at last perform their farewell song up on a giant record spinning, yeah they go around

I never wanted to let you down

I’m not the captain that you needed

If you had a king who deserved your crown

I wouldn’t be it

And now I don’t want to let you down

It’s just time to release

Now we won’t make a sound

Set it free, let it be free

This darkened room, it grounds me

So calm, calm and serene

And now I grasp the pen in shaking hands

But how my head is spinning, it goes around

And now the visions from my dreams surround the walls, a surge of creativity

One moment lying on the floor, the next my lyrics soar, they carry me up to the ceiling

I want to scream, I want to whisper, I would like to feel and I would like to sing

I’m crawling up the walls, and down the halls, and I’m alive, and my head is ringing

I never wanted to let you down

I’m not the captain that you needed

If you had a king who deserved your crown

I wouldn’t be it

And now I don’t want to let you down

It’s just time to release

Now we won’t make a sound

Set it free, let it be free

And now I don’t want to let you down

When there is so much heartache around

And I will grieve

I’ll indeed grieve
