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
