After The Music Is Over

(专辑： While We're At It - 2018)

After the music is over
After the songs have been played
After the chaos that has been created
The memories begin to fade
Recollections have got it in theory
Stories were rarely the same
Some came for all the right reasons
Some wish now that they never came

After the music is over
After the lights are all out
After the damage that's been done
Is something we don't think about
What's left and what's not been forgotten
We move just a little each year
Something went wrong, it was rotten
Some wish that they were never here

The wrath cut a path of such sorrow
So sad and so abrupt
Oh God, we can't let it corrupt
Any hope we have left for tomorrow
The final and the very last bastion
Hold on tight to every shred that still exists
Remember all the pain and all the passion
Fight on with your heart, head, and fists

After the music is over
When what needs to be's been said
After the tears have all been shed
When it's over, what is after that?
After the music is over
When what needs to be's been said
After the tears have all been shed
When it's over, what is after that?
After the music is over
When what needs to be's been said
After the tears have all been shed
When it's over, what is after that?
When it's over, what is after that?

How can it be insanity has now become the norm?
Who knew you could just go from good so quickly to bad form?
To think, you blink or turn your back and then turn back around
And everything is different, inside out, and upside down

Goodbye Greg, goodbye Jake
(After it is over, it won't happen overnight)
Goodbye Jacob for heaven's sake
(When there's nothing left to sing about and nothing left to write)
Heaven can give, heaven can take
(We'll still have each other after all that has been lost)
Heaven can cause your heart to break
(There are hills still we can climb together and bridges to be crossed)
It feels unreal, it feels unfair
(We'll find them if we come to them, and find 'em if we must)
Heaven just took you, heaven's took Kate[?]
(Come together, we'll stand hand in hand and the actions end up dust)
Take care my brother, take care my friend
(Will you be sad, sorry, or happy when we hear it end)
Take care of each other, this is the end
(After the music's over, we will hear the music once again)

After the music's over, we will hear the music again
