about

After Life portrays ones struggle with faith as well as the common questions people may have surrounding life and death. The lyrics reflect an individuals desire for answers and the complete rejection of religion when ones questions go unanswered. The intimate verses create a sense of space only to be made up for by full and driving instrumentation in the bridge and choruses.

lyrics

All I am is a rolling stone
All I have will slowly erode
Time isn't kind when you get old

The body gets brittle as we near the end
Fading away like the days we've spent
Trying to find the slightest sign of meaning
Oh I always came up empty handed

But take me away to a better place
Make me believe that no one truly leaves
Tell me that faith is what will set us free
So I can explain how it won't change a thing

Don't you know it won't change a thing
It won't change a thing

All I want is another chance
But all we get is one shot at this
Life is a test that can't be rewritten

It seems with your answers more questions are brought
The cancer of thought will bring you closer to God
And all that we're left with is all that we're taught
Oh how much longer can this go on

So take me away to a better place
Make me believe that no one truly leaves
Tell me that faith is what will set us free
So I can explain how it won't change a thing

I think if seeing is believing
Then I believe that your beliefs are leading us blind
I think if seeing is believing
Then I believe that your beliefs are leading us blind

But I hope you are right
And I hope I am wrong
Cause an after life
Is an easier pill to swallow
Than knowing everything will be gone
