The Afterlife
Journey Through the Afterlife: Embracing Love, Pain, and Redemption
Lyrics
The universe is time stretched by the curse of ending all the lives that bind in circles
The universe experiences time dilation due to the inevitable conclusion of lives connected in repetitive cycles.
When you love another it only ever worsens as every other's just another petty person
Loving someone complicates matters, as every person seems insignificant and flawed in their own way.
Tonight I'm calling out to you to be the light that guides me through the new world

I see you
The speaker acknowledges the presence of the listener.
I feel you falling with the rain
The listener's emotions are likened to falling rain, felt by the speaker.
I'm running from the pain
The speaker is avoiding emotional pain.
Relying on my idling heart to open up my veins

And send me through the light to see you now

I'm breathing to pursue the afterlife

And send me through the light to see you now

I'm breathing to pursue the afterlife

And in the darkness I will wait

Say your wings will carry me
