Afterlife

Cold night
 Dark December
 Half 9
 When death takes over youLife ain't
 as perfect back as when we were kids
 I'm reminiscing 'bout the days forgotten 'fore all of this
 It's taking me back to the moment you picked up the phone
 You lying there bleeding
 I'm writing at home
 I dropped the guitar
 Hitting the road
 Chasing sirens beck & call
 Racing through the night
 To get to you alive
 Checking every patient
 Every hospital
 I'm running through the lights
 Driving on the right
 Tryn'a find out if you'll make it all
 Clinging onto life
 Choppers in the sky
 Shutting out the light like I'm fighting off the Afterlife
 Clinging onto life
 Pulling out the knife
 Twenty years gone and I'm fighting off the Afterlife
 It's only getting harder looking after your peers
 When you're becoming unfamiliar with their current affairs
 They're taking a switchblade to the ribcage arguing over theft
 They left you bleeding on the pavement six
 holes in your chestRacing through the night
 To get to you alive
 Checking every patient
 Every hospital
 I'm running through the lights
 Driving on the right
 Tryn'a find out if you'll make it allClinging onto life
 Choppers in the sky
 Shutting out the light like I'm fighting off the Afterlife
 Clinging onto life
 Pulling out the knife
 Twenty years gone and I'm fighting off the
 AfterlifeNot the one bleeding while the sirens call
 Not the one bleeding while the sirens callNot the one bleeding while
 the sirens callI'm out here pleading that you'll make it at allNot
 the one bleeding while the sirens callI'm out here
 pleading that you'll make it at all Clinging onto life
 Choppers in the sky
 Shutting out the light like I'm fighting off the Afterlife
 Clinging onto life
 Pulling out the knife
 Twenty years gone and I'm fighting off the Afterlife
