John Frusciante
The Afterglow
[Intro]
Undenied, undenied, undenied
Undenied, undenied, undenied
Every night, undenied, undenied, undenied
Undenied, undenied, undenied
Undenied, undenied, undenied
Undenied, undenied, undenied, undenied

[Chorus]
Death before life, death before life, death before life
Death before life, death before life, death before life

[Verse 1]
You're in my place again
Echoes deprive us enough
You're in my wailing
Decide what it means to work in fire
Decide what it means to work in fire
Shadows casting bodies
Who knows which way things will go?
All shifting images
Upside down to be upright
Upside down, you'll make them cry

[Chorus]
Death before life, death before life, death before life
Death before life, death before life, death before life
[Verse 2]
Another place again
You and my loneliness speak now
I realize
I don't have much further to go
I don't have much further to go

[Chorus]
The afterglow, the afterglow, the afterglow
The afterglow, the afterglow, the afterglow

[Bridge]
Life running backward, nailed up and freezing
Life running backward, nailed up and freezing
Put the past before you, oh-oh
Put the past before you

[Verse 3]
Down is my placement
No place out there I have to be
Lost is where I am
And I've no reason to be found

[Outro]
To resound, from no sound to resound, from no sound to resound
From no sound to resound, from no sound to resound, from no sound to resound
