Afterglow Rising

I wore your silence like a second skin

Till the room got small and I forgot to breathe

I kept the hurt tucked under my tongue Smiled through the smoke

like nothing was wrong

Every goodbye left a mark in the dark I was a spark

with no fire to hold

Then the night pulled me out of that room

Put a little gold on the edge of the blue

Now my feet hit the floor and the fear

lets go Bit by bit I can feel my whole heart come

home What you broke

doesn't own me

now I leave your name in the fade of the night Turn

my tears to a wave of light

On this floor I remember my worth I come alive,

I come alive No more chains in my chest tonight I am

fire in an open sky Losing you was the door to me

I am free, I am

free You were a weight in a beautiful shape

A pretty excuse that I tried to save But every crack let

the real me through

Now the mirror says what I forgot was true

I don't need your love to fill this space I found my

pulse in a different place When the room opens wide and the

bass rolls in

I can feel all the light on my skin What you broke

doesn't own me now (oh oh) (ahh) (I am free) (oh oh

oh) The night gave back the soul I lost And I won't

go back
