Afterlife - SHVPES

Cold night

Dark December

Half 9

When death takes over you

Life ain’t as perfect back as when we were kids

I’m reminiscing ‘bout the days forgotten ‘fore all of this

It’s taking me back to the moment you picked up the phone

You lying there bleeding

I’m writing at home

I dropped the guitar

Hitting the road

Chasing sirens beck & call

Racing through the night

To get to you alive

Checking every patient

Every hospital

I’m running through the lights

Driving on the right

Tryn’a find out if you’ll make it all

Clinging onto life

Choppers in the sky

Shutting out the light like I’m fighting off the Afterlife

Clinging onto life

Pulling out the knife

Twenty years gone and I’m fighting off the Afterlife

It’s only getting harder looking after your peers

When you’re becoming unfamiliar with their current affairs

They’re taking a switchblade to the ribcage arguing over theft

They left you bleeding on the pavement six holes in your chest

Racing through the night

To get to you alive

Checking every patient

Every hospital

I’m running through the lights

Driving on the right

Tryn’a find out if you’ll make it all

Clinging onto life

Choppers in the sky

Shutting out the light like I’m fighting off the Afterlife

Clinging onto life

Pulling out the knife

Twenty years gone and I’m fighting off the Afterlife

Not the one bleeding while the sirens call

Not the one bleeding while the sirens call

Not the one bleeding while the sirens call

I’m out here pleading that you’ll make it at all

Not the one bleeding while the sirens call

I’m out here pleading that you’ll make it at all

Clinging onto life

Choppers in the sky

Shutting out the light like I’m fighting off the Afterlife

Clinging onto life

Pulling out the knife

Twenty years gone and I’m fighting off the Afterlife
