Track 10: After The Blight

[Intro] Do you hear it? The silence after us. Everything burned so beautifully. [Verse 1] Neon graves beneath my feet, Ash and rain where we used to sleep. Every street still screams your name, Every light dies just the same. I taste smoke inside my lungs, Feel the damage settling in. Love turned violent in my hands- Now there’s nothing left to give. And I- still hear the sirens calling. Like ghosts beneath my skin. [Pre-Chorus] We were beautiful- weren’t we? Even at the end. [Chorus] AFTER THE BLIGHT- I SCREAM THROUGH THE RUINS YOU LEFT INSIDE ME. AFTER THE BLIGHT- EVERY FLAME STILL SPELLS YOUR FUCKING NAME. I gave you heaven- I gave you violence- I gave you every part of me. NOW THE STORM KEEPS HOWLING- AND THERE’S NOTHING LEFT… LEFT TO SAVE. [Post-Chorus] Nothing left… Nothing left… [Verse 2] Black rain running down my skin, Like the city’s bleeding with me again. Every memory cuts like glass, Every heartbeat drags me back. I held the match- I lit the fire. Watched the skyline choke and die. But when the smoke finally cleared- you were gone. [Breakdown] LOOK WHAT WE BECAME. LOOK WHAT LOVE DID TO US. I GAVE YOU MY HEART- MY SOUL- MY BLOOD- MY WORSHIP. AND I STILL WOULD’VE DIED FOR YOU. SO WHY THE FUCK- AM I STILL HERE?! [Verse 3] I walk alone through hollow frames, Through burned out towers and acid rain. Every shadow wears your face, Every silence speaks your name. The storm keeps crawling through my veins, Like heaven cursed me to remain. I tried to bury what we were- But grief survives beneath the dirt. And maybe love was always this- A slow collapse, a beautiful sickness. Because even now- with everything gone- I still reach for you. [Final Chorus] AFTER THE BLIGHT- THE SKY STILL TEARS ITSELF APART ABOVE ME. AFTER THE BLIGHT- I’M STILL DOWN HERE SCREAMING YOUR NAME. If this was love- then let it kill me. If this was God- He fucking left me. NOW THE CITY KEEPS BURNING- AND I CAN’T TELL IF IT’S THE WORLD… OR ME. [Outro] Do you hear it? The silence after us. I do.
