AFTERGLOW (TOKARIS VocalMix)

[Intro atmospheric] [cinematic] [spoken word] Silver tongues,, that cut like knives, No one gets out,, of this alive.... **Verse 1:** Vultures circle, eyes on gold, Digging deeper, empty soul, They'll drain you dry, then call you blessed, In a world where truth is dressed, In diamonds, chains, and broken glass, Love’s a currency that never lasts, They tell you lies with perfect smiles, But behind closed doors, the devil's on dial. **Pre-Chorus:** Chase the glitter, lose your mind, Sold your soul, but can’t rewind, Every treasure’s just a cage, In this twisted, plastic age. **Chorus:** It's a fever dream, can't you see? They sold us out, it's all debris, Feeding monsters, counting scars, While we’re wishing on dead stars, Nothing’s real, it’s all for show, Welcome to the afterglow. **Verse 2:** Fingers itching, crave the fix, But nothing sticks, it’s all just tricks, The more you have, the less you feel, In a world where numb is real, They’ll build you up, then cut you down, Wear your pain like a crown, A throne of lies, a bed of nails, We’re just ghosts in empty veils. **Pre-Chorus:** Chase the glitter, lose your mind, Sold your soul, but can’t rewind, Every treasure’s just a cage, In this twisted, plastic age. **Chorus:** It's a fever dream, can't you see? They sold us out, it's all debris, Feeding monsters, counting scars, While we’re wishing on dead stars, Nothing’s real, it’s all for show, Welcome to the afterglow. **Bridge:** And when it all comes crashing down, The kingdom built will watch you drown, But from the dust, you’ll hear the sound, Of truth that never needed crowns, Strip it back, tear the seams, This world ain’t what it seems, We’re the wolves, we’re breaking free, Not their puppets on a string. **Final Chorus:** It’s a fever dream, can’t you see? We’ll tear apart their legacy, Feeding monsters, counting scars, But we’re stronger than dead stars, Break the chains, let it go, We’re the fire in the afterglow. **Outro:** Nothing’s real, it’s all for show, But we’re rising from the afterglow. We’re rising from the afterglow. We’re rising from the afterglow. [Cinematic ending] [powerful ending] huh huh mmmm [fading out] [end] [End] [END]
