AFTERLIGHT — LYRICS
Static on the television Still flickering in the dark People chasing broken signals Calling sparks a burning heart Everybody screaming answers Nobody knows the question yet But beneath the flood of voices Something hasn't vanished yet I thought the world was coming apart Maybe it was showing its scars After the noise After the fear After the echoes disappear Something remains Quiet and bright Waiting beyond the edge of night Not every wound becomes a grave Not every storm takes what it gave After the fire After the fall The light was there through all of it all Screens still glow like tiny altars Selling certainty and rage But I have seen another current Moving underneath the stage Children laughing in the distance Strangers helping strangers home Tiny acts of recognition Proof we're never quite alone I thought the darkness was the truth Maybe it was only the room After the noise After the fear After the echoes disappear Something remains Quiet and bright Waiting beyond the edge of night Not every wound becomes a grave Not every storm takes what it gave After the fire After the fall The light was there through all of it all Maybe we're broken Maybe that's real Maybe the cracks are how we learn to feel Maybe the signal never left Maybe we lost the way Maybe the stars were always there Hidden by the day After the noise After the fear After the long and bitter years Something remains Steady and true Not what I wanted Better than new After the fire After the fall The architecture remains through all The voices fade The screens grow dim The night becomes transparent And somewhere underneath it all The signal begins again.
