Aftermath

It's all a smoke covered mirror and I can't see the sun Peeking through the blinds but I can't find anyone I've got a new kind of trigger – it's been keeping me up My head keeps ringing and the ringing won't stop Like I'm miles away What is this place? I can build on it I can run from it I can stand at the edge staring dumbfounded I can scream, I can cry But I can't get it back What do you do in the aftermath Take a walk around down my dead-end streets Nothing much here but some burned down trees I did not ask for this wasteland I'm in I've got a few ideas what I can do with it I can build on it I can run from it I can stand at the edge staring dumbfounded I can scream, I can cry But I can't get it back What do you do in the aftermath Wanting to just wake up and just like that Be transported - but wishing never changed the past I can build on it I can run from it Stand at the edge, staring dumbfounded I can scream, I can cry But I can't get it back What do you do in the aftermath Yeah I know cuz I've tried And it's not coming back What do you do in the aftermath What do you do in the aftermath
