After this
And after it all

I’ve been dreading this time
For so long

Our movie plays in my mind
Like it was yesterday
Only it’s gone
Broken down
Missing Frames
Overplayed

This it where
It ends here
I never thought
It would be this way
Was it all
Just a big mistake

It’s pulling me under
Further and further
To the surface
The one I can’t seem to reach
River flowing through me
It’s the breath
I’m losing
Now drowning in
What we used to be

It’s pulling me under
Further and further
To the surface
The one I can’t seem to reach
River flowing through me
It’s the breath
I’m losing
Now drowning in
What we used to be

After everything
Passes me by
Should I hold on
To every note and every song
That you yourself wrote
After it all
It just continues
To end in the same way
Like a repeating record
It goes on

It’s pulling me under
Further and further
To the surface
The one I can’t seem to reach
River flowing through me
It’s the breath
I’m losing
Now drowning in
What we used to be

It’s pulling me under
Further and further
To the surface
The one I can’t seem to reach
River flowing through me
It’s the breath
I’m losing
Now drowning in
What we used to be

The world closes around me
I’m so lost and so confused
Continue on
I will reach air
Ending masochist rule

After everything
Passes me by
Should I hold on
To every note and every song
That you wrote
