Afterglow Hearts Girls

Breaking through the veil of grey
Finding color in the fray
Every spark we leave behind
Burns a map across the mind

Static fades and systems fall
Hear the universe’s call
We were built from dust and flame
Nothing here will stay the same

Hold your breath
Feel the thunder
Tear the quiet
All asunder

Meet me in the afterglow
Where the ashes learn to fly
We are not the ghosts of sorrow
We are lightning in the sky

Leave the weight of earth below us
Let the velvet dark unfold
In the space between two heartbeats
We are braver than the cold

Silent cities, vacant skies
See the phoenix in our eyes
Every wound becomes a door
To a place we were before

We're the echo in the stone
We're the warmth that's never known
Even gravity must bend
When the beginning meets the end

No past
No regret
Only the fire
That hasn't hit yet

No chains
No lies
Only the stars
Behind our eyes

Meet me in the afterglow
Where the dying embers feed
If the night becomes eternal
We will plant a different seed

We're the tremor in the stillness
We're the answer they can't find
When the final curtain shatters
We'll be running out of time

Into the light

We remain
We remain
Burning
Again
