Afterglow

Verse 1

I paint a smile across my face,

But the cracks are hard to erase.

Dancing in the glow of neon light,

Hiding all the shadows in my mind.

Pre-Chorus

Every laugh is just a mask I wear,

Every cheer disguises the despair.

Chorus

We’re spinning in the midnight air,

Broken hearts pretending we don’t care.

Sing it loud, the crowd won’t know,

The pain beneath the afterglow.

We shine until the night is gone,

But inside we’re barely holding on.

Verse 2

The melody disguises all the scars,

We chase the highs but fall apart.

Every beat’s a secret I conceal,

Every chorus makes the silence real.

Bridge

Turn the volume up, drown the cries,

Hide the truth behind the lies.

If the music stops, will they see?

The darkness that’s consuming me.

Final Chorus

We’re spinning in the midnight air,

Broken hearts pretending we don’t care.

Sing it loud, the crowd won’t know,

The pain beneath the afterglow.

We shine until the night is gone,

But inside we’re barely holding on.
