Lyrics

Afterlife

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.

I've heard the rumors that the rumors all were true

They may be looking for me (they may be looking for me)

But they're coming for you (but they're coming for you)

I'll paint a picture you can better understand

They promise diamonds (they promise diamonds)

But they pay in sand

It goes on and on and on and on and on

It's an old broken record stuck on the same song

It goes on and on and on and on and on

You all know it's wrong but you're singing along

(I don't wanna wait)

I don't wanna wait for heaven to change me

I don't wanna have to wait for the fall

(I don't wanna wait)

I don't wanna wait for heaven to change things

I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna wait

(I don't wanna wait)

I don't wanna wait for heaven to change this

I don't wanna have to fall on the knife

(I don't wanna wait)

Forever after, this disaster

Bring the afterlife

You'd cut your nose off just to spite your fuckin' face?

That's who you are (that's who you are)

You know your place (you know your place)

You let them lead you by the throat with broken hands

So how's the view beneath their shoe (and what's your plan)

It goes on and on and on and on and on

It's an old broken record stuck on the same song

It goes on and on and on and on and on

We all know it's wrong but we're singing along

(I don't wanna wait)

I don't wanna wait for heaven to change me

I don't wanna have to wait for the fall

(I don't wanna wait)

I don't wanna wait for heaven to change things

I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna wait

(I don't wanna wait)

I don't wanna wait for heaven to change this

I don't wanna have to fall on the knife

(I don't wanna wait)

Forever after, this disaster

Bring the afterlife

I don't wanna wait for heaven to change me

I don't wanna wait (I don't wanna wait)

I don't wanna wait for heaven

I don't wanna wait

I don't wanna wait

I don't wanna wait for heaven to save us

I don't wanna wait (I don't wanna wait)

I don't wait for heaven to save us

I don't wanna wait

I don't wanna wait

(I don't wanna wait)

I don't wanna wait for heaven to change me

I don't wanna have to wait for the fall

(I don't wanna wait)

I don't wanna wait for heaven to change things

I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna wait

(I don't wanna wait)

I don't wanna wait for heaven to change this

I don't wanna have to fall on the knife

(I don't wanna wait)

Forever after, this disaster

Bring the afterlife
