Afterglow

There’s something I want to tell you now
I was hoping you could stay
Over my numbness I’ve been drowning
I know there must be another way
Come on sit down girl
We got to talk something
Lay down now
We got to fix some things
It’s not fair
Well I just don’t know
if god is here tonight
I don’t care
That we´re falling down
And we´ve got no place to hide
I won’t wait
For this world to change
And give me what I know
I deserve, deserve
Couse sometimes I
It's too late in the morning
And she just won't go
She said
“Boy, I know this city has got your soul,
You keep pushing yourself forward
To an endless faith, but you’ve been
Working 4 years on minimum wage,
with no time for this and no time for that,
people down here are getting over that,
u still picking up the pieces of your
broken will,
wonder if you even have tried to heal”
Come on sit down girl
We got to talk something
Lay down now
We got to fix somethings
It’s not fair
Well I just don’t know
if god is here tonight
I don’t care
That we falling down
And we got no place to hide
I won’t wait
For this world this change
And give me what I know
I deserve, deserve
Cause sometimes I
Grief over things
That are beyond me
Stunned and naive
my youth bleeds.
