ANYONE BUT ME

Text:
Verse 1
I stood beside a quiet bed,
the room was breathing slow.
Machines kept time like fading drums,
the light began to go.
I saw his eyes turn soft and dull,
the spark just slipped away —
and in that silent, weightless space,
I wondered where we stray.

Chorus
Between two worlds, we drift and fade,
the heartbeat slows, the fear decays.
And maybe death’s not black or white —
just the dusk before new light.

Verse 2
The scientists say it's only brain,
the neurons dim, the fire’s gone.
But I have seen that final change —
and it felt like moving on.
No angels came, no trumpets blew,
just peace, so strange, so kind —
and I thought, if this is leaving life,
then life has done us fine.

Bridge
Breathe in the silence,
the pulse becomes a sigh.
Maybe forever’s just a moment
we can’t define.

Chorus (reprise)
Between two worlds, we drift and fade,
the heartbeat slows, the fear decays.
And maybe death’s not black or white —
just the dusk before new light.

Outro (spoken softly)
They say Death comes with a scythe…
well, tell him Python sends his regards —
and he’d better code that visit right.
