Lyrics After the Storm - WINGTIPS

After the Storm

Lights out, blinded sight, Lost in the black tonight
We’re closing in upon the edge of everlasting life
Eyes open, fingers crossed, stuck in the afterthought
An open door I knew I’d curse among the life I lost
And you’re drifting away
This time I know you’ll never come back
You say you’re going insane
Let me explain
When you see me, you won’t hear me
But after the storm you’re bound to understand what I think
Eyes are breathing, almost bleeding
But, aftr the storm you’ll see how you were so dceiving
Was I by your side when you confided heartless?
Logic beckoned to my surprise and I was paralyzed
But you found me awake
I caught your silver tongue
Nighttime fell at last, highways ablaze in ashes
Emerging guilt beyond a doubt of your elastic cry
Sky blue pacific eyes, trying too hard to find
Another reason to be close as everybody liked
And you’re drifting away
This time I know you’ll never come back
You think it’s always the same
And when you wind up questioning that which you’ve fabricated
All along in the affirmation, the invocation of your lies
An obsession with power
Sheer dominance seeping thru the cracks
Giving way to cataclysmic atmosphere as you tremble through the night
When you fear for your life, do you feel inconsequential?
Do you feel… like…
When you see me, you won’t hear me
But after the storm you’re bound to understand what I think
Eyes are breathing, almost bleeding
But, after the storm you’ll see how you were so deceiving
