SONG
TITLE: The Day After
TIME SIGNATURE: 4/4
KEY: A
it was the day after
atonement when I set myself so free
it was the first time, the only time, I stopped feeling guilty
the skies flooded like a monument, seas dried up like a storm
and everyone I'd ever known was casting their remorse
try to hold back, try
to fall back
but my lips will be leaking
try to roll back try to claw back
but my lips will be speaking
try to crush that try to crush that
but my lips will be shrieking
it was the day after
atonement when I gave up honesty
it was the first time, the only time, I stopped feeling guilty
starved this sickness to stay innocent, fed this dragon to keep
warm
microscopic swirl, macroscopic world, just a drone inside the
swarm
it was the day after
atonement when I set myself so free
it was the first time, the only time, I stopped feeling guilty
Please grant pardons, find parlance, stare into the sun
No more fear, no more confidence, now the war, now the war is
won
