THE AFTERIMAGE LYRICS

1. Lumière

Release
I’ll release everything, release all I am
(Everything)

2. Seeking

Now is the time to reach out before I find myself on the edge of existence
(The edge of existence)

Evolving from an agonizing birth, dark days eclipsing draining all self-worth
Dreams of hideous splendour begin
Conceal my faith, I’ll seek redemption
Dark days eclipsing draining my worth
(Dark days eclipsing)

I’m growing weary of destroying all the evidence
I’m growing uncertain of the outcome
With all these constant reminders of where I’ve gone and what I’ve seen
When you said you were searching, I hoped that you’d find me

When you said you were searching, I hoped that you’d find me, now
(When you said you were searching)
When you said you were searching, I hoped that you’d find me, now
(When you said you were searching)
Searching

Living in oceans of assaulted tranquility; only a shadow, I have inaudibly fallen through
Everything that I longed for was right before my eyes
(Before my eyes)
Neglected abandoned

As you walked away and called back my name, I knew then I had made a mistake
Crashing into the harsh reality, that things will never be the same
(They won’t be the same)
I’m dead to you
I’m dead to you forever

I can never get back what I chose to throw away Dreams of bliss repeat my name
Choices made without the heart, now despised
Choices made without the heart, now despised
When you said you were searching, I hoped that you’d find me

I know you’re seeking more. I know that you’re searching I know you’re seeking more. I hoped that you’d find me
I know, I know that you’re seeking I know, I know that you’re searching. I know, I know that you’re seeking
(I know that you’re seeking)
I know, I know that you’re searching

3. Follow

I’ll marvel and I’ll dread how you’re not alive, though your prehistory has dimension

Your jealously will dry these plains
Pull up your roots like rotten teeth I’ll follow you so long, then maybe I’ll be something more
I’ll follow you so long, then maybe I’ll be something more I know I am lost

From the lacerations between the earth, I’ll take in the last of your water
And when not a drop is left, I will fall into your bed of arms and die without division

I’ll follow you so long, then maybe I’ll be something more. I know I am lost
These dreams are reoccurring
I know I am lost
(I am lost)

In reverie of your sentiment you drew me out I was hoping that you’d follow suit until the day that I cease to exist.
Until the day I cease to exist.

Until the day that I cease to exist
Though your prehistory has dimension

I’ll marvel and I’ll dread how you’re not alive though your prehistory has dimension

I’ll follow you so long, then maybe I’ll be something more I know I am lost
These dreams are recurring, I know I am lost
(I am lost)

4. Unseen

Now I can see the only thing that's keeping me from you
I've tried to make the best of this time
But no one seems to know why you're making the same mistakes
And you know they're bringing us closer to a senseless end

In the midst of transition distant memories begin to emanate
You wish you had not begun this endeavor
Now the light begins to fade

Take a chance alter your destiny
Distant memories begin to dissipate
Take a chance alter your destiny

I hear the distant echoes of forgotten choices
Waiting patiently for a moment of inspiration
Trusting reflections of short duration
With the passage of time my opinion becomes useless
Am I wasting my time?
You've become the scattered remnants of who I thought I was
Am I wasting my fucking time?
Finding myself asking questions without answers
Am I wasting my fucking time now?

You wish you had not begun this endeavor
Now the light begins to fade
Reach into the unseen, seek to understand
When you said you were you searching I hoped that you'd find me now
When you said you were searching
When you said you were you searching I hoped that you'd find me now
When you said you were searching

I was chosen by name, generated by those who built me up again
But still, I refuse to let go without restraint
You're a part of much more than this

Now tell me, what the fuck was the point of this self-inflicted misery
Your reality is shifting from one moment to the fucking next

Now I can see the only thing that's keeping me from you
I've tried to make the best of this time
But no one seems to know why you're making the same mistakes
And you know they're bringing us closer to a senseless end

5. Onyx

Unassuming truths become remedial for shades of devotion,
I know, since my soul is on display for nothing but scrutiny

Stare in my direction and catch a glimpse of who I'm becoming
While the world loses its colour by the rain
I'm finding myself to be completely desaturated, adhering to pointless endeavors

I'm finding myself to be completely desaturated, adhering to pointless endeavors
I am wandering, I'm not following
(I am wandering)
I am wandering never following
I am wandering, I am not following

My thoughts are perpetuating into an infinite sequence, and in turn I'm unable to utter a single word with confidence
I'm losing passion, lacking feeling
Fading colours, from a deep red to a dismal grey

I am everyone, yet no one at the same time
I passage through channels toward my own lifetime, recognizing I'll never be conscious again

My eternity resembles a single instant
Dwelling in all regions and leaving no imprint
I'm in touch with infinity and visionless
(The visionless)

Unassuming truths become remedial for shades of devotion
I know, since my soul is on display for nothing but scrutiny

My thoughts are perpetuating into an infinite sequence, and in turn I'm unable to utter a single word
I'm losing confidence
I'm losing passion, lacking feeling
Fading colours

6. Distance

It leaves me breathless, with next to nothing but open hands.
Picture perfect, by no means worth it We’ve been in shambles before, but not again

What will it take for my voice to be heard again?
What will it take for my life to mean something?
What will it take?
What will it take?
What will it take for my voice to be heard again?
What will it take? What will it take for my life to mean something?

And I wished that I could have been honest, now that so many years have gone past
my tread will carry on, you are all I see.

Visibly not a better me and I felt as if nothing was concrete
And I hate that I see things this way
(See things this way)
What will it take for my voice to be heard again? What will it take for my life to mean something?
What will it take, what will it take?
What will it take for my voice to be heard again?
What will it take? What will it take for my life to mean something?

And I wished that I could have been honest, now that so many years have gone past
My tread will carry on, you are all I see
For so long I couldn’t move on without failure paving my way
My tread will carry on, you are all I see

Never proud of distant memories
(I promised I wouldn’t play it safe)
But I knew the cost
Am I allowed to learn from my mistakes? Will you stop waiting up for me?
It takes a while to get ahead to get what you need Will you stop waiting up for me, to get ahead and to pass through your need? I swear we’ll move on

And I wished that I could have been honest, now that so many years have gone past
My tread will carry on, you are all I see
For so long I couldn’t move on without failure paving my way My tread will carry on, you are all I see

What will it take, what will it take?
What will it take for my voice to be heard again?
What will it take? What will it take for my life to be whole again?

7. Without You

[Instrumental]

8. Reach

I am constantly dwelling on these memories that take me to the place I want to be
Can you hear me now? I know that you're searching, I know that you're seeking something
Can you feel me now? I know that you're searching, I know that you're seeking something so far from my reach
I hope you realize though we are lost, we are not alone
Together we'll be searching and answers will surely come
You're so far from my reach and I'd give anything to return to way we used to be
Losing everything made me see clearly I’m willing to forfeit all that I am so that I may be with you again
(You again)

You knew you'd find me here
It took me losing sight to count it all as a loss
I hope you realize, though we are lost we are not alone
Together we’re searching and the answers will surely come

Can you feel me now? I know that you're searching, I know that you're seeking something so far from my reach.
Without you I'm nothing
Release I'll release everything
Release all I am I'm constantly doubting my abilities
You're so far from my reach

Release I'll release everything
Release all I am I'm constantly doubting my abilities
You're so far from my reach
