Trapped in the Shadow of Your Afterglow” (Cover)

+ Show full styles

Pre-Chorus:
Can’t erase what’s written in the smoke,
Every inhale burns the ghost you spoke.
You lit the sky, but left me blind below—
Now I’m trapped in the shadow of your afterglow.

Chorus:
Yeah, I’m sinking slow,
Under the weight of your halo.
You were fire, I was snow,
Melted down to nothing you’d ever know.
Your light still flickers in my soul,
But I can’t escape this undertow—
Trapped, oh, trapped in the shadow
Of your afterglow.

Verse 2:
Faded perfume on a bullet shell,
Half-truths bleeding in the wishing well.
I carved your silence in my throat,
Sang your sins till my lungs broke.
Every night I dance with the echo of a lie,
Every dawn I wake just to say goodbye.
You left me hollow, you left me high,
Drunk on illusions I can’t untie.

Bridge 1:
Black lights hum where the pain still glows,
Your fingerprints burn where the river froze.
I built a shrine out of broken glass,
Every cut another prayer that never lasts.

Bridge 2 (rap cadence):
Yeah, twisted in the rhythm, venom in my pulse,
Every memory a weapon, every kiss repulsed.
You rewired my veins with a code of control,
Now I glitch, I twitch, can’t reload my soul.
Bassline thunder in the back of my brain,
Every drop drags me back through the rain.
Tried to drown your ghost, but the tide don’t flow—
It just drags me deeper in your afterglow.

Chorus 2:
Can’t run from the light you stole,
Can’t kill what already owns my soul.
Every heartbeat’s a rerun show,
Trapped in the shadow of your afterglow.

Breakdown (whispered / distorted):
Mirror cracked, can’t find my face,
Time froze in your embrace.
Ashes hum where angels fell,
You were heaven, I was hell.

Outro (half-sung / half-rapped):
I keep falling through your flicker,
Every second’s getting sicker.
Your ghost’s a cage I can’t outgrow,
Still trapped in the shadow—
In the shadow—
Of your afterglow.

Verse 1: Whispers on the wall, they crawl inside my skull, Every echo of you’s a bruise that never dulls. Dripped in silver static, I breathe your residue, Caught between the holy light and what you made me do. Siren pulse in my veins, neon scars on repeat, Every promise tasted sweet, now it rots beneath my teeth. You left your mark in ultraviolet tears, Now I’m praying to the dark just to disappear. Pre-Chorus: Can’t erase what’s written in the smoke, Every inhale burns the ghost you spoke. You lit the sky, but left me blind below— Now I’m trapped in the shadow of your afterglow. Chorus: Yeah, I’m sinking slow, Under the weight of your halo. You were fire, I was snow, Melted down to nothing you’d ever know. Your light still flickers in my soul, But I can’t escape this undertow— Trapped, oh, trapped in the shadow Of your afterglow.
