Song Lyrics pt. 2

7. Afterlife

Like walking into a dream

So unlike what you've seen

So unsure but it seems

'Cause we've been waiting for you

Falling into this place

Just giving you a small taste

Of your afterlife here, so stay

You'll be back here soon anyway

I see a distant light

But girl this can't be right

Such a surreal place to see

So how did this come to be

Arrived too early

And when I think of all the places

I just don't belong

I've come to grips with life

And realize this is going too far

I don't belong here

We gotta move dear

Escape from this afterlife

'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on

Far away from here

A place of hope and no pain

Perfect skies with no rain

Can leave this place, but refrain

'Cause we've been waiting for you

Falling into this place

Just giving you a small taste

Of your afterlife here, so stay

You'll be back here soon anyway

This peace on earth's not right

(With my back against the wall)

No pain or sign of time

(I'm much too young to fall)

So out of place, don't wanna stay

I feel wrong and that's my sign

I've made up my mind

Give me your hand

But realize I just wanna say goodbye

Please understand I have to leave

And carry on my own life

I don't belong here

I gotta move on dear

Escape from this afterlife

'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on

Far away from here

Got nothing against you

And surly I'll miss you

This place full of peace and light

And I'd hope you might

Take me back inside when the time is right

(INSTRUMENTAL)

Loved ones back home all crying

'Cause they're already missing me

I pray by the grace of God

That there's somebody listening

Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be

(I am unbroken; I'm chocking on this ecstasy)

Oh lord I'll try so hard

But you gotta let go of me

(unbrake me, unchain me, I need another chance to live)

(INSTRUMENTAL)

I don't belong here

I gotta move on dear

Escape from this after life

'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on

Far away from here

Got nothing against you

And surely I'll miss you

This place full of peace and light

And I'd hope you might

Take me back inside when the time is right
