Lyrics After the Image - The Bereaved

After the Image

So loud this ringing in my head
Carried through the flat line signal
The shacking lips so hard to breathe
Collapsing lungs the heart failure
The black sets in — dilate this moment
The vision narrowing — as white walls bleed
A cry to freedom but know one hears
The lips are sewn together
Thought bringing — daylight dreams
A sky so pale and somber
I feel it coming — suffocate
The air that breathes in me
Forever drowning — daylight dies
And break this suffering
I open my eyes
To a place
That I will not
Remembr tomorrow
The dreams are crul — lost in this moment
My God I can’t escape — no sign
The damage done — I’m so disgusted
Why can’t they just let me be?
— no sign
So many visions of this world
Is it all just in my head
The tears that fall have turned to ice
The cold is sinking in
I feel it coming — suffocate
The air that breathes in me
Forever drowning — daylight dies
And break this suffering
All that I ever wanted
Was to take away all this pain
But now that all is broken
Shattered all that will ever be!
The black sets in — dilate this moment
And leave this all behind — no sign
Vision narrowing — as white walls bleed
To reveal the other side — no sign
I feel it coming — suffocate
The air that breathes in me
Forever drowning — daylight dies
And break this suffering
