When I m Gone

Another sunrise paints the concrete grey
Another headline fades and slips away
When I vanish, when you follow suit
Will the silence echo, or the world stay mute?

A fleeting shadow, a blink in endless time
Just a footnote, a whisper lost to fading chimes
We think we're central, the axis of it all
But the universe just watches, waiting for our fall.

WHEN I'M GONE!
WHEN I'M GONE!
THE EARTH WILL SPIN!
THE SUN WILL BURN ON!

WHEN I'M GONE!
WHEN I'M GONE!
LIKE I NEVER LIVED!
THE STARS WON'T MOURN!

Eons of stardust before we drew a breath
Eons will follow, beyond our life and death
The sun, a fiery ember, a slowly fading show
We're passengers just watching the cosmic afterglow

This daily grind we follow, this empty, gilded cage
We build our fragile empires on history's fading page
But the tide is always rising, relentless and so vast
To wash away the traces, make nothing ever last!

WHEN I'M GONE!
WHEN I'M GONE!
THE EARTH WILL SPIN!
THE SUN WILL BURN ON!

WHEN I'M GONE!
WHEN I'M GONE!
OUR TIME SO BRIEF!
YET LIFE GOES ON!

Just a quiet breath, in the fading light,
This single moment, burning ever bright.
Let the silence speak, what you truly feel,
In this fragile now, find something real.

WHEN I'M GONE!
WHEN I'M GONE!
THE EARTH WILL SPIN!
THE SUN WILL BURN ON!

WHEN I'M GONE!
WHEN I'M GONE!
NOTHING REMAINS!
BUT LIFE GOES ON!

When I'm gone...
When I'm gone...
When I'm gone...
When I'm gone...
