NO LONGER A REASON
NO LONGER A REASON
(T. Beechey)
All that you once understood
All that once seemed true and good
Gone in the blinking of an eye
Now you're only living a lie
Fooling yourself to believe
That,should you stay,you'll receive
What can never emerge anew
There's no longer a reason for you
Where you were and where you've been
The walls,it seems,are caving in
You want to scream,you need to shout
That's the time when to get out
What faces once familiar and known
Now appear to have grown
Separate from only yesterday
There's no longer a reason to stay
No longer a reason,the time has passed,nothing's forever,nothing can last
This shouldn't be a chance for sorrow,it's a bridge to a new tomorrow
Brighter horizons,to be reborn...still,you feel so cruelly torn
From all that once felt so pleasing --- the light has faded,there's no longer a reason
You sense you've been somewhere too long
When you look around and everything's wrong
Nothing's the same as it was before
Since your last time through the door
After a while,you realize
It's all changed before your eyes
Even the air feels differently
There's no longer a reason to be
And,looking back,there's no regrets
The sun still rises,shines,and sets
Over where you're standing now
Yet,there remains a desire somehow
To walk upon familiar ground
Perhaps to say you've once more found
What you've lost,but truthfully
There's no longer a reason for me
No longer a reason,the magic has gone,the moment is over,it's time to move on
All the glory,the fire which burned has dwindled to embers and you've learned
A lesson you heard so long ago,not to allow the grasses to grow
Under your feet until out of season --- the dream has awoke,there's no longer a reason
