After Dark
Yeah, yeah
Feelin’ low, movin’ slow
But I still glow
Told the truth, now I’m driftin’ fast
Confessions made, can't take ‘em back
They laughed at me, now they blind from pride
Black bird flew, took their sight
Yeah, I was scared to hurt someone
But I cried when I saw what love had done
Now I’m walkin’ toward the break of day
Hope my people wait at heaven’s gate
If you ever get a second chance
Don’t fake that light — just take a stand
Real ones only reach this land
You gotta fall before you understand
Feelin’ heavy in my chest
No sleep, just stress
Need your love to decompress
This pain got me feelin' less
When I’m fallin’ deep, I see the morning light
I’m not with you, but I’m holdin’ tight
Still alone, yeah, this dark might bite
But your love rebuilds what’s left inside
Tonight I’m chasin’ paradise (paradise, yeah)
When I’m fallin’ deep, I see the morning light
I’m not with you, but I’m holdin’ tight
Still alone, yeah, this dark might bite
But your love rebuilds what’s left inside
Tonight I’m chasin’ paradise
Yeah, I judged the world through broken glass
Didn’t like your stare, too real, too fast
You act like you know my past
So I mocked, then I crashed
This river’s cursed, don’t cross my way
You won’t return once you drift away
If it’s not mine, I won’t let it go
Rather burn it all than let it show
And there it flies — that bird I know
Feelin’ haunted by regret
All these thoughts inside my head
But your love pulls me from the edge
Let me breathe, let me forget
When I’m fallin’ deep, I see the morning light
I’m not with you, but I’m holdin’ tight
Still alone, yeah, this dark might bite
But your love rebuilds what’s left inside
Tonight I’m chasin’ paradise (paradise, yeah)
When I’m fallin’ deep, I see the morning light
I’m not with you, but I’m holdin’ tight
Still alone, yeah, this dark might bite
But your love rebuilds what’s left inside
Tonight I’m chasin’ paradise
Walked a hill that looked like death
Trees hung low, I held my breath
Judged for sins I can't erase
But still I ask — why this place?
Black bird circlin’ in the sky
Cross turned red, I don’t know why
Laughed at me as I passed them by
Now the clouds start to cry
Is this the end or just a sign?
Rain keeps fallin’, I’m still alive
After Dark
Yeah, yeah
Feelin’ low, movin’ slow
But I still glow
Told the truth, now I’m driftin’ fast
Confessions made, can't take ‘em back
They laughed at me, now they blind from pride
