Afterglow

Somewhere you're walking down the street
Cracking the pavement with your feet
The smoky air is just as sweet as our recordings on repeat
A bolt of lightning and then you go
Explains an absent afterglow
A distance just too far to throw
Toss it back and then you'll know

And I don't wanna say it's a bad thing
But it's probably the bad thing

Just as your mind had left the ground
Took a little too long to get back around
You can shut out the memories that you found
But you can't ignore the sound

And I don't wanna say it's a bad thing
But it's probably the bad thing

So are you running scared?
Forever destined to face the fact that you've spent your whole life unprepared for this eventuality
A cold reality is coming down
And you meet everyone
The battles that you've won may just impress the ones who cannot guess your heart
But you play the part so well
So what the hell?
Forget the pieces of your soul you'll never sell

But that's just where you want to be
Not living easy, but you're free
Free from the soul you were supposed to be
Willfully stranded away from me

And I don't wanna say it's a bad thing
But it's probably the bad thing
