The Day After lyrics

It was the day after atonement when i set myself so free It was the first time, the only time, i stopped feeling guilty The skies flooded like a monument, seas dried up like a storm And everyone i'd ever known was casting their remorse Try to hold back, try to fall back But my lips will be leaking Try to roll back try to claw back But my lips will be speaking Try to crush that try to crush that But my lips will be shrieking It was the day after atonement when i gave up honesty It was the first time, the only time, i stopped feeling guilty Starved this sickness to stay innocent, fed this dragon to keep warm Microscopic swirl, macroscopic world, just a drone inside the swarm It was the day after atonement when i set myself so free It was the first time, the only time, i stopped feeling guilty Please grant pardons, find parlance, stare into the sun No more fear, no more confidence, now the war, now the war is won
