What Lies Below – Afterimage Lyrics

Afterimage – What Lies Below Lyrics

A bare reflection looking back

deeper into our pasts

Finding anything to separate

From the abyss we call our home

between two souls

Escape this black hole

The longer that we all pretend

(Tear at the open wound)

Will paint the afterimage of the end

(Did we give up too soon)

Were we only ever made to

Bleed alone where no one sees

The afterimage of the end

Back where it once began, oh

Back where it once began

A river running red

At home where you lay your head

Finding peace in knowing the end is coming

Lost in space while your house is burning

Still looking for solace in reverie

I can't escape the endless agony

The longer that we all pretend

(Tear at the open wound)

Will paint the afterimage of the end

(Did we give up too soon)

Were we only ever made to

Bleed alone where no one sees

The afterimage of the end

Back where it once began

The children weep, as they cry for release

A mothers plea, to stop the misery

When will you take a look inside yourselves?

And what will you see?

When the echoes come calling your name?

Wither, oh

Take me away

I cannot live within this space

(Inside the grey)

The longer that we all pretend

(Tear at the open wound)

Will paint the afterimage of the end

(Did we give up too soon)

Were we only ever made to

Bleed alone where no one sees

The afterimage of the end

Wither
