Laura Lisbeth: Listen to the Songs

Aftermath

(Laura Lisbeth)

A song about regret...

AFTERMATH

 

So complete

In the air you breathe

And the time it takes

To get up and leave

And your footsteps on the tile floor

 

So replete

In the finery

Of a solitary moment

That will never be

Never be again

 

And it takes you halfway down the stairs

And it takes you to the door

And you don’t look back

And you know you’re gone

Cause you don’t live here no more

 

You retreat

To your neutral space

With the morning sun

Burning up your grace

And your head is spinning

 

Bittersweet

Reality sets in

And you know that you didn’t win

You lost

You broke

You sinned

 

And it burns you down

And swallows you whole

And it brings you to your knees

And you seek the cure

In the aftermath

But it won’t leave you at ease

 

You repeat the same mistakes

You repeat the same mistakes
