Rory Rodriguez - Afterglow lyrics

This awakening This questioning of our mortality This awakening This questioning of our mortality keeps us alive You didn't ask for my permission to take his life You didn't ask for my opinion or those he left behind No matter how dark it seems to be now Where there is life, there is always hope Give me something to believe in when the world has turned it's back on me Now let's go Give me something to believe in while my heart is in my hands Give me something to believe in when the world has turned it's back on me Please don't give up on me I'm here to write this letter I've got this pen and paper I'm here to write this letter to show things will get better I'd like to leave an echo whispering down the ways Of happy times, laughing times, and bright and sunny days I'd like the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun To live in peace and solace when the deed of life is done I turned to music when my father pa**ed And when my brother left this world there was no turning back I know I'm meant to be the rock but lately I've been feeling weaker than I Ever thought No matter how dark it seems to be now Where there is life, there is always hope Give me something to believe in when the world has turned it's back on me Oh god the mistakes that I have made How many souls have I harmed along the way? I was certain until now there was no heaven or hell But when you're laying on that bed you will take anyone's help All I want is to be remembered To leave a mark and to live forever Etch my name into the stone for eternity and forevermore I know I know what it's like to feel alone Everything i touch now either dies or turns to stone Now press rewind And play it back a thousand times You can pick me up or you can throw me down You can chew me up and you can spit me out My heart grows founder, it only makes me stronger To anyone that's picked me up and to anyone that's Held me down My heart grows fonder, it only makes me stronger now Stronger now It only makes me stronger Oh god the mistakes that I have made How many souls have I harmed along the way? I was certain until now there was no heaven or hell But when you're laying on that bed you will Take anyone's help All I want is to be remembered To leave a mark and to live forever Etch my name into the stone for eternity and forevermore
