Aftermath Lyrics

Can you hear a scream of pain if echoes just remain?
Can you smell the burning if you cannot see the flame?
The meaning in the silence, the words behind the page
Walls alone are not a cell, nor steel bars a cage

You couldn’t hear the tears that were whispering your name
Standing there, waiting for the words that never came

Even in the widest space
The walls were closing in
The look upon your pretty face
Reflected in my skin

Look at me, please look at me, please catch me as I fall
I’m pleading with you for my life, yet you stay in my thrall
Don’t follow me, don’t follow me, I needed you to lead
The tighter that you held me, the more my wounds would bleed

Your arms, a place of solitude, a meaningless embrace
Glancing past the agony engraved upon my face

Two souls are brought together
Remain so far apart
The warmest touch of love can be
A dagger through the heart

A smile and a pirouette, the inside fades to black
A meeting of two lovers, cold and standing back to back
Caught in the aftermath

Your empty eyes just staring through me
Watching as I fell
The last thing that I saw as I
Descended into hell
