Aftermath
Aftermath

The chaos is gone
But the echoes survive
The darkness still smiles
In the echoes of night
I put down my arms
Every day stays the same
I even came clean
And I changed my last name
So why am I the same
In the depths of my mind?
Why am I still lost?
Still, the blind leads the blind
I'm slowly falling apart
Into the arms of my dreams
But all my sweet angels
Lost themselves in the seams
The fire has left
But the scars still remain
With every last drop
These tears drive me insane
I found a way to pray
Without a god to hear my call
Tore off my skin of yesterday
Without a cause to catch my fall
I'm crying out these words again
Forever, crazy, desparately
I'm leaving scars far in the past
Free like the leaves inside the breeze
