Afterimage

Yeah

Still see it when I close my eyes

Yeah

Chorus

I been livin’ in the afterimage

Light fade but the vision vivid

They move fast, but they miss it

I slow time just to sit in it

I don’t chase moments, I trap ‘em

Let ‘em burn in my peripheral

What you see when the flash gone

That’s what last — that’s the afterimage

Verse 1

I been off-grid, deep space

Thoughts echo, no safe place

Everybody want the highlight

I been focused on the residue

What remain when the smoke clear

What you feel when the crowd gone

If it still hit when you alone

That’s how I know it’s profound

Pre-Chorus

They mistake noise for impact

Mistake motion for control

I been watchin’ what stay printed

When the moment let go

Chorus

I been livin’ in the afterimage

Light fade but the vision vivid

They move fast, but they miss it

I slow time just to sit in it

I don’t chase moments, I trap ‘em

Let ‘em burn in my peripheral

What you see when the flash gone

That’s what last — that’s the afterimage

Verse 2

Pressure warp how you see things

Gravity bend your intentions

Everybody flex reflection

I been checkin’ for dimension

What you build when the lights dim

Who you are when it don’t trend

I don’t need it loud forever

I need it to echo then end

Bridge (VERY Travis — melodic, minimal words)

Yeah

Hold it

Freeze frame

Still there

Yeah

(Beat drops to sub + atmosphere only)

Verse 3 (short, abstract, Kanye-coded)

I don’t trust what disappear

Soon as applause relocate

If it leave a shadow behind

That’s the real weight

Final Chorus (bigger, darker)

I been livin’ in the afterimage

Even silence still feel tinted

They forget soon as it finish

I remember what it did to me

I don’t need the flash no more

I don’t need the crowd involved

If it stay burned in my sightline

That’s the proof — that’s the afterimage

Outro (auto-tuned, fading)

Still see it

Still feel it

Yeah
