Matty Myatt - The Afterbath Lyrics

Wait until I'm gone
Or for the end of this song
To let it all ring true
Hate, it comes too late
But as you're walking away
Know I won't forget you
Well forgive me father for I have sinned
And I'm prone to know I wanna do it all again
But if I shit the bed then I'll watch what grows
From the seed I planted into a rose

But if this nothing came from something
Then what should I become
To you but an intruder
When you and I are so far gone?
I'll drift back through the atmosphere
And struggle to come back down
But I still thought to write
Just to know you're safe and sound

Before we shut that door
Know there's a part of me
Burried beneath your floorboards
And the worst rehearsed curse
I'll never leave this house
Without that unquenchable thirst
Until I lay down in the middle of the street
And let those traffic lights illuminate me
From a blood stained red to an amber glow
That somehow ends my envy and so I rose

But if this nothing came from something
Then I dare not retract
And in the moment all I see is the back of your mind
I'll be standing in the corner trying to kick my own ass
I wish I could sit back down
But my skin is bare and raw
So I'll just stand and smile
As I see you're better off

And what if had I'd have listened
I wouldn't need recovery without abusing it
And what if had I'd have listened
I wouldn't need to open the jar had I'd have loosened it
