No Excuse

When the sun comes up I crawl out of bed

Roll the daily bread and wait for it to rise

When the day comes along I can feel you're gone

I will carry on, it's all that I can do

To tell you the truth, to give you this promise

I feel no pain, I feel no bliss

To tell you the truth

Though may I seem heartless

To make no excuse for the way it is

I saw it coming from miles away

like a disco ball on the back of a freight train

You can go long way anticipating grief

I felt it coming from miles away

I felt the weight of changes, universal sameness

I felt it go

To tell you the truth, to make you this promise

I feel no pain, I feel no bliss

To tell you the truth

Though may I seem heartless

To make no excuse for the way it is

I don't want to cry and you don't want to hear it

I wouldn't want to appear sad

I wouldn't want you near that when you're trying to go

I wanna say goodbye but I don't want to fear it

speaking incoherently

Maybe that's the way the spirit speaks when you lose someone
