Aftershock
Japanese Blossoms
Sometimes I feel it creeping in
Just a breath on the far horizon
I feel it move beneath my skin
Just smoke where flames had been
And I, I took the ground for confident
But I, I can feel it trembling
I'm living with the aftershock
It's reaching in for the kill shot
I'm giving everything I've got
To hold the steady ground
These broken buildings all around
Their stories scattered on the ground
I'm standing naked in the crowd
As I watch my walls come down
And I, I built my armor stronger now that
I, I'm familiar with the sound
I'm living with the aftershock
It's reaching in for the kill shot
I'm giving everything I've got
To hold the steady ground
I see you coming with your end game
You didn't think that I could change
I'm living with the aftershock
And I'm not going down
Hit me while I'm down, I'm not going down
Hit me while I'm down, I'm not going down
Hit me while I'm down, I'm not going down
Not going down, not going down, not going down down
