Aftermath
Love's Evolution: A Melodic Tale of Loss and Redemption
Lyrics
In the aftermath of what might be
In the aftermath of uncertain events or possibilities
You stole it once and then you set it free
You took something from me but then released it
You brought my crooked heart to me
You presented my flawed heart to me
Like a puzzle still unsolved
Similar to an unsolved puzzle
In the stolen wheel that we knew as time
In the stolen moments within our perception of time
You pressed your body into mine
You intimately connected with me
More like a blessing than a crime
More like a blessing than a wrongdoing
It made your mind revolve
It influenced your thoughts profoundly
In the aftermath of might have beens
In the aftermath of unrealized possibilities
You stole my favorite writing pen
You took my cherished writing tool
While I swore not to go back again
Despite my vow not to revisit unresolved situations
Into scenes that don't resolve
Into situations that lack resolution
Now we're standing on a ledge of crime
Now we find ourselves in a situation with criminal undertones
What's yours is yours, what's mine is dying
Ownership remains clear, and what is mine is diminishing
There's never been a reason for crying
No valid reason for tears or witnessing their disappearance
Or watching tears dissolve
Or witnessing the fading away of tears
This must be the way that love evolves
This is likely how love progresses and transforms
With an ounce of pain and a pint of trust
With a small amount of pain and a measure of trust
I'm sure it's gonna rain, but if we must, we must
Expecting rain, but if necessary, we will endure
The leaves of spring know that somehow they'll be turning colors in the fall
The changing seasons signify inevitable transformation
In the aftermath love conquers all
Love prevails in the aftermath
In the aftermath of a life long search
In the aftermath of a lifelong quest
Sitting there up upon my perch
Perched like a novice nun in a Catholic church
Like a virgin nun in a catholic church
Observing the intertwining of God's hands
Watching the hands of God entwine
The enduring marks of life on my skin
The stains of life that stick to my skin
He cleanses them, but I allow them to return
He washes them out, I put them back again
When reaching the end, a new beginning is necessary
When you reach the end you have to begin
To continue the unraveling of life
To continue to unwind
In the aftermath of what we lost
In the aftermath of our losses
No time to figure out what it cost
No time to calculate the price paid
To cross the rivers that we have crossed
To traverse the rivers we've crossed
With no urge to get involved
Without the inclination to get entangled
Now we're standing on a ledge of hope
Now we're on the edge of hope
Wondering how the others cope
Contemplating how others endure
With lies hung from a fraying rope
Lies hanging like a deteriorating rope
That stings like cold wet towels
Painful and chilling like wet towels
This must be the way that love evolves
This is likely the process of love evolving
With an ounce of pain and a pint of trust
With a small amount of pain and a measure of trust
I'm sure it's gonna rain, but if we must, we must
Expecting rain, but if necessary, we will endure
The leaves of spring know that somehow they'll be turning colors in the fall
The changing seasons signify inevitable transformation
In the aftermath love conquers all
Love conquers all in the aftermath
