A star for today and a corpse for tomorrow

C
That's all he needs to pave his way

I can see him villian, 
a noose around his neck
making his grand finale, 
his farewell to us all
why didn't he see a future?
why no bridges left to cross?
is all that existed in his mind
to be a star for just one day?
Bb
to reach the point of no return
C
after stardom for just one day
Bb
no turning back no after thoughts
C
just a bullet in his chest
