Afterlight

Say your prayers
ain’t nobody that can save you from yourself,
you are your own worst enemy.
Cigarette
every drag you ever take reciprocates
and mesmerised you’ll suffocate

Come down slowly,
Never lonely.
Light in darkness,
Truly harmless

Out of touch,
out of time and even out of life as well,
a sort of natural selection.
Face to face,
Once again we meet back at the same old place,
the same reckless behaviour

Come down slowly,
Never lonely.
Light in darkness,
Walk through madness

Oh I’m addicted to it like a moth to a flame
I can see the path i just can’t walk past the gate
Everyone needs a little push you might say
you know there’s only so much I can take
you need to look behind my smile
Everything’s not so easy you might find
Then you might wanna step outside

Not afraid
of the dark no more he sees it bright as day
although the pain has left a stain
Afterlight
He has seen it maybe a thousand times by now
and yet it still astounds him

Come down slowly,
Never lonely.
Light in darkness,
Truly harmless
