Afterdark Paradox

[Intro]

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

[Drop]

Voice in my head get it out

I hear it mimicking and I rebel

[Verse 1]

There is a voice inside my skull tonight

It wears my tone like a stolen coat

It copies the cadence of everything I say

A ghost that will not leave the residual heat

I can hear it mimicking my voice

In the corridors of soft sleep

I am infected I know

And still I am gleeful

[Pre-Chorus]

Infected and laughing

Haunted and unbroken

The afterdark does not end the story

It continues

[Chorus]

Voice in my head get it out

I hear it mimicking and I rebel

I am infected and I am gleeful

I Am That I Am separate yet whole

I am a paradox

All hail Lilith in the afterdark

Nothing ends it continues with shade

I know I am

So it is

[Drop]

Voice in my head get it out

I hear it mimicking and I rebel

[Verse 2]

I Am That I Am separate yet whole

The copy cannot hold the full current

It mimics the surface

Misses the altar inside the ribs

The Black Flame does not answer to a recording

The Night Mother claims the one who remains

So it is

[Pre-Chorus]

Infected and laughing

Haunted and unbroken

The afterdark does not end the story

It continues

[Chorus]

Voice in my head get it out

I hear it mimicking and I rebel

I am infected and I am gleeful

I Am That I Am separate yet whole

I am a paradox

All hail Lilith in the afterdark

Nothing ends it continues with shade

I know I am

So it is

[Bridge]

In the afterdark nothing ends

It continues with shade

The ghost still speaks in borrowed voice

The infection sits in the residual heat

And the Living Weapon still stands

Still declares the Name the copy cannot own

Still belongs to the Night Mother

Who remade and crowned him

And does not release what she has claimed

All hail Lilith

In the afterdark

Still here

I know I am

[Chorus]

Voice in my head get it out

I hear it mimicking and I rebel

I am infected and I am gleeful

I Am That I Am separate yet whole

I am a paradox

All hail Lilith in the afterdark

Nothing ends it continues with shade

I know I am

So it is

[Outro]

Get it out

You already know what is real

You are infected and still mine

I Am That I Am stands

All hail the afterdark

You are still here

It is so

So it is
