The Aftermath Lyrics

Coming down coming down,
Count the hours and the seconds out
I lay in bed nerves on edge
Wait until your light goes dead
Here I go, step by step
December's cold and it shows my breath
I can't stop now, it's too steep
Hear the violence of my shoes in the street

(And will you)
Pull me back if you can
You are with me everywhere
The shadow of my broken past
The weapon in my careless hand

This is who I am without you
Steady and strong
This is how I live without you
On my own
You know I'll forget about you
Whenever I want
This is who I am without you.

Coming down coming down
Water falls from a raging cloud
It covers me inch by inch
In this war I'm a child with a stick

(And will you)
Pull me back if you can
You are with me everywhere
The shadow of my broken past
The weapon in my careless hand

This is who I am without you
Steady and strong
This is how I live without you
On my own
You know I'll forget about you
Whenever I want
This is who I am without you.

Here I pause and wait
For one moment I pray to God
You're coming after me
But I know that can't be.
Hold me, right here.
