Zylvow - Afterparty Demons Lyrics

[Intro]
Empty bottles, empty souls
Another night that takes its toll
Mariehamn lights hide what's real
Masking all the pain we feel

[Verse 1]
Friday night, same old scene
Popping pills to feel serene
Club Nautical's strobing lights
Hiding all our inner fights
Found him laying on the floor
Barely breathing by the door
All those nights we thought were fun
Now I see what we've become
F*ck these games we always play
Acting tough day after day
Nordic boys don't show their pain
Till they're dancing with the rain

[Chorus]
Behind the neon, behind the smoke
We're all just broken, about to choke
Living fast but dying slow
This ain't the life that we should know
(This ain't the life that we should know)

[Verse 2]
Every weekend, same routine
Chasing highs to feel clean
But underneath this party mask
We're drowning in the shit we ask
Remember nights at Park up north
Drowning sorrows back and forth
Now my homie almost gone
Got me writing this sad song
All these clubs can't fill the void
All these pills left me destroyed
Toxic pride kept us locked
Till my brother nearly dropped

[Bridge]
Called the ambulance that night
Praying that he'd be alright
Now I'm facing all my demons
In this verse, no more scheming

[Chorus]
Behind the neon, behind the smoke
We're all just broken, about to choke
Living fast but dying slow
This ain't the life that we should know
(This ain't the life that we should know)

[Outro]
Time to face what's really true
Not just me, but maybe you
Drop the act, remove the mask
Before another brother crash
Before we lose another soul
To this game that takes its toll
Åland nights won't heal our pain
Time to break free from these chains
