Afterlife

Like walking into a dream

so unlike what you've seen

So unsure but it seems

'cause we've been waiting for you

Fallen into this place

just giving you a small taste

Of your afterlife here - so stay

you'll be back here soon anyway

I see a distant light

But girl this can't be right…

Such a surreal place to see

So how did this come to be?

Arrived too early

And when I think of all the places I just don't belong

I've come to grips with life and realize this is going too far

I don't belong here

we gotta move on

dear

Escape from this afterlife

'Cause this time I'm right

to move on and on

Far away from here!

Place of hope and no pain

perfect skies with no rain

Can leave this place but refrain

'cause we've been waiting for you

Fallen into this place

just giving you a small taste

Of your afterlife here - so stay

you'll be back here soon anyway

This peace on earth's not right (with my back against the wall)

No pain or sign of time… (I'm much too young to fall)

So out of place

don't wanna stay

I feel wrong and that's my sign

I've made up my mind

Give me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye

Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life

I don't belong here

I gotta move on dear

Escape from this afterlife

'Cause this time I'm right

to move on and on

Far away from here!

Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you

This place full of peace and light

And I'd hope you might

take me back inside

When the time is right!

Loved ones back home all crying 'cause they're already missing me

I pray by the grace of God that there's somebody listening

Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be

(I am unbroken; I'm choking on this ecstasy!)

Oh Lord I'll try so hard but you gotta let go of me

(Unbreak me

unchain me

I need another chance to live!)

Aah!

I don't belong here

I gotta move on dear

Escape from this afterlife

'Cause this time I'm right

to move on and on

Far away from here!

Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you

This place full of peace and light

And I'd hope you might

take me back inside

When the time is right!
