MASSIVE ATTACK - AFTERSUN Lyrics

When i was chasing the fear away,
I forgot to breathe again.
In this moment we shine,
Burn to ember every time.

When i was trying to shelter,
I forgot to rescue you.
In these moments we drown,
Take this rose with thorns to crown.

Every time i fall i am ascending.
Every time you call me near.
Only when we slip the need is ending.
Mirror i am letting go.

When you were trying to save me,
You forgot to let me go.
In this freedom we found,
Raining stars down to the ground.

And with the truth in your hands,
You concealed it with your lies
In this moment we drowned,
Lost more than we ever found.

Every time i fall i am ascending,
Every time you call me near.
Only when we slip the need is ending
Mirror i am letting go...
