The Hereafter - Rocky Votolato

I learned to starve and beat this animal

Until I found out I lived in a temple

Got such a temper and keeps the temperature

Rising till the water is boiling

Have to live on the edge that’s bleeding

My broken teeth are teaching me something

I’m not so sure what matters so much here

Will matter at all in the hereafter

I thought I could write

I thought I’d trade it for another life

Now I realize songs are fossils

No one wants to watch a suicide I decided

To keep digging up more bones

Have to live on the edge that’s bleeding

My broken teeth are teaching me something

I’m not so sure what matters so much here

I’m not so sure what matters here

I’m not so sure what you think matters so much here

Will matter at all in the hereafter

I can’t handle anymore cruelty

My hands are burned and scarred from holding way too much already

I’ve been way too hard on me

Please be gentle, be gentle please

I’m not so sure what matters so much here

I’m not so sure what matters here

I’m not so sure what you think matters so much here

Will matter at all in the hereafter

In the hereafter…

The hereafter…

In the hereafter…
