afterdark

i wanted to help you

escape from the day

i couldn't speak to you

it might hurt my raiser's heart

i couldn't speak to you

for what could i say

these words seem obscene now

in the light to the raiser's heart

well the words aren't coming

no the words aren't coming

by day they are far too stark

well the words mean nothing 'til they turn to fire

by who we become after dark

you know we have nothing

by silence of day

i couldn't speak to you

i've nothing to say to you

well the words aren't coming

no the words aren't coming

by day they are far too stark

well the words mean nothing 'til they turn to fire

by who we become after dark

well the words aren't coming

no the words aren't coming

by day they are far too stark

well the words mean nothing

but there's no questioning

just who we become after dark

you know

you know

we've got no reason to speak

come the sun

when it's done

we've no reason to speak

well the words aren't coming

no the words aren't coming

by day they are far too stark

well the words mean nothing

'til they turn to fire

by who we become

oh

well the words aren't coming

no the words aren't coming

by day they are far too stark

well the words mean nothing

but there's no questioning

just who we become after dark
