“AFTERLIFE” Lyrics:

(Enkay47)

I’ve gotta lot of questions in my life
That I don’t really have the answers to
And every time I think about dying
I get this pit in my stomach
Like I don’t know if I could handle the truth

They tell me I should look at religion
And I should try to find god but I have
It was back in my youth
And maybe I’m just ignorant for turning my back on god like im the one abandoning you

And I’m not bashing anyone if they believe in religion cuz if it helps I’m ecstatic for you
So you walk your path and I’ll walk mine
Yeah that seems like an accurate view

But this song isn’t about God
It isn’t about religion
It’s not about if you’re a catholic or a Christian
Have you ever lost someone that you love more than yourself
More than anything you’re hoping they’re well
And they can make it to heaven
You pray to god there’s an afterlife

So that you don’t have say goodbye
So that you have don’t have to see them decomposing in the ground tonight
I hope you’re right

So where do I go when I die
Maybe I’m frozen in time
Maybe I’m stuck in the ground
Ashes float through the skies
Maybe I’ll come back as someone different and have a new life
(Yeah right)

Maybe Im just lying to myself
Because I don’t wanna know the truth
And If you think you have the answer
Show me proof
Fucking prove there’s an afterlife
There’s a lot of different religions who has it right?

Like maybe you just disappear
And Cease to exist
We’re just overthinking everything
It is what it is
Maybe we can learn to love, find a reason to live
Life is pretty quick
By the time you blink that’s it

100 years later no one probably knows who you are
There’s no one left alive holding you in their heart
Everyone you’ve ever know is dead, roaming the stars
I know it’s hard to accept
Yeah I know that it’s hard but

(Curtis Foster)

Will they remember me?
When my ash is settling in the dust, what’ll be my legacy?
Sometimes I get so caught up in the thought of it I forget to breathe
Playing this back and forth and I’m never claiming a victory

I see my body and my bones and feel the notion I control ‘em
And it totally fucks with me, leaves me paralyzed and frozen
Just knowing someday this vessel will be soulless
And this is gonna happen to everyone that I know? Shit!

So many say they got the answers, I’m not sure of it
I walk around this earth, I’m still in search of what my purpose is
I’ve heard the sermons, attended the services
Tended to nervousness
In search of what happens after the curtain dips

Examining life under a lens since I was ten years old, you see
I’d get nightmares about my death with a strenuous hold on me
Held hostage by my own beliefs
Is there nothingness so cold and bleak or heaven with some golden beams?

I wanna believe there’s something, I do
But I’ve become so fucking cynical I’m stuck in my views
I used to pray to God each weekend when we’d shuffle in pews
Since then my faith has kinda weakened, tell me, what about you?

I was indoctrinated to the point I wouldn’t contemplate it
Tried to hit up God but I would only get the operator
And every time somebody dies we offer thoughts and prayer
Even though we’re feeling hollow anger, yeah, we’re lost anxious

And it’s a lot to take in
The concept that someday our body’s gonna be vacant with a plot to lay in
And life is not a video game, we can’t just stop to save it
And if there’s really heaven and hell, well then I’d rather be on my top behavior

And when I look up to the sky tonight
I’mma get this feeling I can only describe as kinda like
I’m looking up at the shining light of those I know who’ve passed on
And some day I’mma join ‘em after my last song
