Lyrics Afterlife - Derek Joel

It hit me like a flash of lightning
I couldn′t believe who I'd been
I think it′s time we face the truth

I could feel the water rising
Use your words to patronize me
Allow me to take this weight
From you

You can tell me I'm reckless
You can say I'm defensive
But I know that this time Imma let go

With every word you′re relentless
Cut as deep as Atlantis
But I think that there′s something you should know

So save yourself, save yourself
I didn't come here to fight
Save yourself, save yourself
See you in the afterlife

Time and time we′d try finding
Common ground and stop the fighting
If blessed are the meek we were cursed

You can tell me I'm reckless
You can say I′m defensive
But I know that this time Imma let go

With every word you're relentless
Leaving nothing but ashes
Like a fire burning out of control

Save yourself, save yourself
I didn′t come here to fight
Save yourself, save yourself
See you in the afterlife

So save yourself, save yourself
I didn't come here to fight
Save yourself, save yourself
See you in the afterlife

I don't want to keep lying
To ourselves like one day this will all change
There is nothing you could ever say
Nothing that would convince me to stay

So save yourself, save yourself
I didn′t come here to fight
Save yourself, save yourself
See you in the afterlife

So save yourself, save yourself
I didn′t come here to fight
See you in the afterlife
