Afterdark Lyrics

I wanted to help you
Escape from the day
I couldn’t speak to you
It might hurt my raiser’s heart
I couldn’t speak to you
For what could I say
These words seem obscene now
In the light to the raiser's heart
Well the words aren’t coming, no the words aren’t coming
By day they are far too stark
Well the words mean nothing ‘til they turn to fire
By who we become after dark
You know we have nothing
By silence of day
I couldn’t speak to you
I’ve nothing to say to you
Well the words aren’t coming, no the words aren’t coming
By day they are far too stark

Well the words mean nothing ‘til they turn to fire
By who we become after dark
Well the words aren’t coming, no the words aren’t coming
By day they are far too stark
Well the words mean nothing, but there's no questioning
Just who we become after dark
You know, you know
We’ve got no reason to speak
Come the sun
When it’s done
We’ve no reason to speak
Well the words aren’t coming, no the words aren’t coming
By day they are far too stark
Well the words mean nothing, ‘til they turn to fire
By who we become, oh
Well the words aren’t coming, no the words aren’t coming
By day they are far too stark
Well the words mean nothing, but there’s no questioning
Just who we become after dark
