Afterlife

Lyrics

Now I lay me down to sleep

Six feet down beneath concrete

If I should die before I wake

Did I make peace or a mistake?

Before the ink dries on the suicide note

Before you say goodbye to the ones you love most

Before you burn the book of your story untold

Hold on, hold on

Before you cut ties with the demons you know

Before you tie a knot at the end of your rope

Before you decide that you're running out of hope

Hold on

You don't have to die to reach the other side

You don't have to die, have to die to find your afterlife, afterlife

The monsters in your mind are mountains you can climb

You don't have to die, have to die to find your afterlife, afterlife

Before you look for God in a bottle of pills

Before you turn the lights off so you don't have to feel

Before it's not a threat, before you make it real

Hold on, hold on

Before you go to sleep praying to a razor blade

Before you stare a gun down to see a better place

Before it's in stone, before it's too late

Hold on

You don't have to die to reach the other side

You don't have to die, have to die to find your afterlife, afterlife

The monsters in your mind are mountains you can climb

You don't have to die, have to die to find your afterlife, afterlife

Nobody knows if we'll ever rest in peace

But we control where the road through hell can lead

You've got eternity to sleep

If I should die before I wake

Did I make peace or a mistake?

You don't have to die to reach the other side

You don't have to die, have to die to find your afterlife, afterlife

The monsters in your mind are mountains you can climb

You don't have to die, have to die to find your afterlife, afterlife

Afterlife
