Afterglow Lyrics

I'm falling beside myself
looking for a way to redeem myself to promise an ending
when everything is gone i'm living in a memory of my life
and you can't take that away from me
why can't you see the importance of the past
the light is reflecting off of your eyes
and I watch in sorrow as this flame slowly dies
when I look away everything is the same when I turn back
there is no changing in me
time is depleting and I need to know where this all is leading
but today I know that I can't back down and give it all away
why can't you see the importance of the past
to live your whole life as a gift will help these moments last
wide awake and my eyes aren't open
there is so much to see
it's something to be so proud of
but I'm locked away in this unsealed capsule
taking my time
searching for my open door
I'm waiting for something to pull me above
this everlasting surface
before my eyes I am watching my life slowly fade
