Afterlife

[Verse 1]
Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you`ve seen
So unsure but it seems, `cause we`ve been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
Of your afterlife here so stay, you`ll be back here soon anyway
I see a distant light, but girl, this can`t be right
Such a surreal place to see, so how did this come to be?
Arrived too early

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And when I think of all the places I just don`t belong
I`ve come to grips with life and realize this is going too far

[Chorus 1]
I don`t belong here, we gotta move on, dear
Escape from this afterlife
`Cause this time I`m right to move on and on
Far away from here


[Verse 2]
A place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain
Can leave this place but refrain, `cause we`ve been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
Of your afterlife here so stay, you`ll be back here soon anyway
This peace on Earth`s not right (with my back against the wall)
No pain or sign of time (I`m much too young to fall)
So out of place, don`t wanna stay, I feel wrong and that`s my sign
I`ve made up my mind

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Give me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye
Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life

[Chorus 2]
I don`t belong here, we gotta move on, dear
Escape from this afterlife
`Cause this time I`m right to move on and on
Far away from here
Got nothing against you and surely I`ll miss you
This place full of peace and light
And I`d hope you might take me back inside
When the time is right

[Bridge: M. Shadows & The Rev]
Loved ones back home all crying
`Cause they`re already missing me
I pray by the grace of God
That there`s somebody listening
Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be
(I am unbroken, I`m choking on this ecstasy)
Oh, Lord, I`ll try so hard, but you gotta let go of me
(Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live!)

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus 2]
I don`t belong here, we gotta move on dear
Escape from this afterlife
`Cause this time I`m right to move on and on
Far away from here
Got nothing against you and surely I`ll miss you
This place full of peace and light, and I`d hope you might
Take me back inside when the time is right
