Afterglow

(album: Elegies - 2016)

When I wake up
I hope you're gone
Said I'd love you
But not for long

I'm not breathing in your air
I feel nothing. I feel nothing

Don't be mad because it's not your fault
You wanted the ocean but I'm just the salt
Drying out your mouth
Tiring you out

I don't want to see the sunlight
Gliding down your back in the morning
And there's no need to warn me
That you don't ever get close to
The ones you lie down with
I'm already absent
My chest is a basement
Where my heart is all boxed up

Don't be mad because it's not your fault
You wanted the ocean but I'm just the salt
Drying out your mouth
Tiring you out

And what we had might have burned real slow
But I blew it out so we'll never know
And as the light starts to leave the room
I'm not in love with the afterglow

Don't be mad because it's just for fun
We'll stay the night but never see the sun
The sun

When I wake up
I hope you're gone

Don't be mad because it's not your fault
You wanted the ocean but I'm just the salt
Drying out your mouth
Tiring you out

And what we had might have burned real slow
But I blew it out so we'll never know
And as the light starts to leave the room
I'm not in love with the afterglow
I'm not in love
I'm not in love with the afterglow
