Afterimage lyrics

A dark reflection looking back Staring deeper into our pasts Finding anything to separate From the abyss we call our home How do you mend rift between two souls Can we ever escape this black hole The longer that we all pretend Tear at the open wound Will paint the afterimage of the end Did we give up too soon Were we only ever made to Bleed alone where no one sees The afterimage of the end Back where it once began A river running red At home where you lay your head Finding peace in knowing the end is coming Lost in space while your house is burning Still looking for solace in reverie I can't escape the endless agony The longer that we all pretend Tear at the open wound Will paint the afterimage of the end Did we give up too soon Were we only ever made to Bleed alone where no one sees The afterimage of the end Where it once began The children weep As they cry for release A mothers plea To stop the misery When will you take a look inside yourselves? And what will you see When the echoes come calling your name? Wither Take me away I cannot live within this space Inside the grey The longer that we all pretend Tear at the open wound Will paint the afterimage of the end Did we give up too soon Were we only ever made to Bleed alone where no one sees The afterimage of the end Wither
