After the mushroom cloud has passed and left its mark
I’m just a pile of bones left rotting in the dark
Call me a leper, someone ring the golden bell
If you look for yourself then you could maybe tell
And now I look around this godforsaken world
That you built by yourself then let it all unfurl
You call it paradise, you’re telling me it’s true
But did you ever think of anyone but you
Did you not ever see me there?
I’ve been here all this time
‘Cause now I’m leaving
Leaving you behind
And when the world starts beating at your door
When no one’s there and you can’t take it anymore
I’ll be long gone as if I was never there
And maybe by yourself, you’ll realise that you care
No point in memories, they only weigh me down
The past is in the past and the future’s coming round
No looking back leave everybody else behind
I’m getting out of here ’cause I’ve got a new world to find
Did you not ever see me there?
I’ve been here all this time
‘Cause now I’m leaving
Leaving you behind
And in between the worlds
That’s where we’re most alone
And when our courage fades
We reach out for a trace of home
Home
But I don’t need no home
Did you not ever see me there?
I’ve been here all this time
‘Cause now I’m leaving
Leaving you behind
Did you not ever see me there? [Oh-oh-oh-oh
I’ve been here all this time
‘Cause I’m leaving you
‘Cause now I’m leaving [Oh-oh-oh-oh
Leaving you behind
