Prompt / Lyrics
(Verse 1) I don’t even recognize the man in the mirror, Dead-eyed stare getting clearer and clearer. Punch-drunk on pain, I’m wired on rage, Writing my breakdown across every page. I used to give a damn, used to give a shit, Now I just watch everything burn and sit. Swallow my pride with a bottle of Jack, Smile at the edge and don’t step back. I curse at the ceiling, spit at the sky, Middle finger up to the reasons why. Every line that I swore I’d never cross — I crossed it twice and I liked the cost. (Pre-Chorus) Something snapped and it won’t reset, No remorse and no regret. If there’s a line, I’m past that point — Yeah I broke it, joint by joint. (Chorus) Welcome to the aftermath! Look at what I’ve become, Look at what you have done. I’m so far gone, not even God could save me, You destroyed my soul, my spirit so I hope you’re fucking happy! Welcome to the aftermath! Look at what I have become, Look at what your evil has done. My destruction has become so clear, This is all your fault so don’t shed no tear. Yea, welcome to my aftermath! (Verse 2) I push everyone away before they get close, Better to be feared than exposed. I say vicious shit just to watch it sting, If I can’t feel love, I’ll feel something. I break good things with both damn hands, Turn every promise into quicksand. Sleep with my anger curled at my side, Wake up and let that bastard drive. I don’t apologize, I don’t explain, I weaponize silence, I savor the pain. I became the wreck I used to dread — Now chaos lives rent-free in my head. (Pre-Chorus 2) I blame you when it helps me cope, But I’m the one who let this grow. Now the monster I became, Is the only thing I know. (Chorus) Welcome to the aftermath! Look at what I’ve become, Look at what you have done. I’m so far gone, not even God could save me, You destroyed my soul, my spirit so I hope you’re fucking happy! Welcome to the aftermath! Look at what I have become, Look at what your evil has done. My destruction has become so clear, This is all your fault so don’t shed no tear. Yea, welcome to my aftermath! (Guitar solo) (Bridge) (Strip down — almost spoken) I let the anger settle in my bones, Let it make this body feel like stone. I fed the fire, I poured the gas, Now I’m addicted to the ash. There’s no clean hands in this collapse, No holy water washing that. You broke me down — But I stayed that way. (Final Chorus – Huge, full band) Welcome to the aftermath! Look at what I’ve become, Look at what you have done. I’m so far gone, not even God could save me, You destroyed my soul, my spirit so I hope you’re fucking happy! Welcome to the aftermath! Look at what I have become, Look at what your evil has done. My destruction has become so clear, This is all your fault so don’t shed no tear. Welcome to the aftermath!
