Great Crescendos

No, I don't want anybody
No, I don't want you to go
No, I don't want any pity
I don't want no one to know

No, I don't want any choices
No, I don't want you to tell
All the purple, violet places
Where in secret, I do dwell

No, I don't want God to save me
No, I don't want stairs to climb
All this talk of great crescendos
Killing me and all my time

No, I don't want anyone to know my name
Come on, that's the last thing they should know

No, I don't want any medals
No, I don't want you to clap
No, I don't want safety pedals
For me to push on when I flap

Stories come and stories go
I'm no different to the sun
We're both slowly burning out
We both know it, don't we sun
