Afterglow (Spoken Word)

Where you end and I begin there’s no light

A parasite who lives within a hingeless door

Far below the surface there, breathe a heavy sigh

Stand alone in a circle squared, preparing to try

 

Where you go, ash and cinders form the afterglow

Blowing over

 

You never know the shapes are thin, drawn in shadow lines

Dust and foam the state I’m in, a sense of pride

Where you go, ash and cinders form the afterglow

Blowing over

Trying hard to bleed slower

Hear you’re sinking low… get lower

Trying hard to bleed slower

 

Zeroes in my hand, and it’s time

Reach into the sand, come fill me again

 

Where you go, ash and cinders form the afterglow

Blowing over

Undertow, ash and cinders light the afterglow

Sucking under

Trying hard to bleed slower

Hear you’re sinking low, I’m lower

Trying hard to bleed slower
