Analysis of After Life



Letter to my darling
Together she's my shining armor
There's no lubricant with this friction
It just can't compare with this competition
With words I prefer lucidity
Clairvoyance until my annoyance is stolen
Die at perfect proximity, moments are golden
Walking up the stairs
Choking because of my shortness of air
Caught up with the flare
I'm roasting everywhere
Currently aware that Claire
Was elsewhere left me in despiar
Zero footwear, living the nightmare
Bleeding from the temple
Not like she cares
Flawed like I'm mental
Now running in circles in a single square
I'm a machine that needs to be a lean diet
Treat you like a queen even my silence is quiet
This is after life
Stabbed with 5 knifes
Goals I still strive
But hide away in the dark, I can't see i'm blind
