lyrics

Afterimage
Lifted up the fragments of grace
Every instinct fell
Upon the weight on my shoulders
I told her to stay
She showed me the way
I searched for the key
To heaven

It’s pressing down upon me
As the world goes by
It’s digging deeper in
And slowly I surrender
Pick up the pieces
Of the things I never had
Look for the memories
When there’s nothing to remember
-
It seems so easy to forget
-
And yet

I fell in love with the future
I fell in love with the price we pay
I fell in love with the future
After the images fade away

Afterimage
Rose above the hands on my face
All the rain came down
Upon the weight on my shoulders
I rose from the grave
And wasted away
While holding the key
To heaven

It’s pressing down upon me
As the world goes by
It’s digging deeper in
And slowly I surrender
Pick up the pieces
Of the things I never had
Look for the memories
When there’s nothing to remember
It seems so easy to forget
-
And yet
I fell in love with the future
I fell in love with the price we pay
I fell in love with the future
After the images fade away
-
I fell in love with the future
I fell in love with the light of day
I fell in love with the future
After the images fade away
