Afterglow
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We were on the floor below
Just before the afterglow
Waiting for the tides to rise
And chase the day, yeah
And what I’ll never forget
Bars in the windows of your eyes
You put yourself behind
Swallow the key
And hope they never find
Now you’re screaming fire
But you burn your own bridge down
When enough’s enough
No one hears a sound
How does it feel?
How do you tell which one is real?
‘Cause your name is my name
And our game is played the same
One of you to turn the screw
And one to take the blame, whoah
‘Cause my blood is your blood
And our blood they can’t contain, oh
One of us to turn to dust
And one to chase the flame
Oh, how does it feel?
Can you tell which one is real?
There is no dividing line
In between what’s yours and mine
Please don’t be surprised to find
That you are so bright
You know my eyes go blind
We were breathing fire
No one could break us down
And from the worlds above
We could hear the sound
How does it feel?
Now that you know that I’m for real?
‘Cause your name is my name
And our game is played the same
One of you to turn the screw
And one to take the blame, whoah
‘Cause my blood is your blood
And our blood they can’t contain, oh
One of us to turn to dust
And one to chase the flame
Whoah, how does it feel?
Can you tell which one is real?
Head on the floor
And I could not tell you why
Open the door
To a cold wind blowing by
And like the light I’m gonna
Disappear me out of here
Vapor in the atmosphere
Lost your ghost in the gold of the sun
Now you’re not the only one, no
How does it feel?
Can you tell which one is real?
Your name is my name
And our game is played the same
One of you to turn the screw
And one to take the blame
My love is what they can’t contain
One of us to turn to dust
One to take
One to take the blame
One of us to turn to dust
One to chase
One to chase the flame, oh
Our blood they’ll never contain
One of you to turn the screw
And one to place
One to place the blame
How does it feel?
Can you tell which one is real?
