Muna O. - Aftermath Lyrics

Here lies happiness.
The hope for a future,
Where the past is exactly that,
A memory,
A scar dressed in lavender.

We ruined it.
We couldn't stop picking at scabs,
Poking and prodding,
Our most sensitive parts,
This is what happens when love is born from tragedy.

Building sand castles over corpses,
Broken hearts extend to form bridges,
Burned by the fire we started in each other.
Look around you,

We left destruction in our wake.
The wreckage was our sanity,
Our peace,
Traded, for a chance to feel a little less lonely.
This love was not always like this,

Once, it was magic.
You knew the secret to my smile
And you never revealed it ,
Not even to me.
Maybe that was the problem,

We held on too tight,
Squeezing till all that was left,
Was dust and ragged breath.
Hush my darling,
It is over now.

There are no more words to be said
Be still,
Be free,
Rest.
