Vice & Virtue - The Aftermath lyrics

The Aftermath I’ll cut myself out of this conversation I can feel the lies They’re tearing at my skin But I sympathize with these fake smiling faces Because I’m learning how to forgive I’ll tell myself it’s not real, it’s not real But how can I face the truth when I deny that it exists? Please drown me in my own cynicism Free me from this nightmare Open my eyes and wake me up Because, I’m learning how to live This time around I won’t fall so easily, to the ground Fear and remorse have run their course I could never cope with d**h It’s impending cold Touching everything that’s close to me You’re too close to me I’ve lost too many and loved to few It makes you wonder, who would die for you? Something horrible is about to occur Someone I love dearly is leaving me Now all the questions that have arose The what-ifs; they k** me the most I watched the snow fall from the sky Drifting in and out, dreaming of reality Wishing for stability, I thought the winter had left me All my transgressions are far away, but I have been led astray I will never be free Maybe I will never see I was lost that day, never to recover The cold air filled my lungs, the clear conscience I never had returned The dull light of a snow covered sunrise sends waves through my body So eloquent, so eloquent We can feel the tide closing in Coming to wash away all of our sin Before we know the waters are up to our chest Brief moments of clarity will bring us rest
