"Afterglow" lyrics - JERRY CANTRELL

Where you end and I begin there's no light
A parasite who lives within a hingeless door
Far below the surface there, breathe a heavy sigh
Stand alone in a circle squared, preparing to try

[Chorus:]
Where you go, ash and cinders form the afterglow
Blowing over

You never know the shapes are thin, drawn in shadow lines
Dust and foam the state I'm in, a sense of pride

[Chorus:]
Where you go, ash and cinders form the afterglow
Blowing over

[Bridge:]
Trying hard to bleed slower
Hear you're sinking low, get lower
Trying hard to bleed slower

[Guitar solo]

Zeroes in my hand, and it's time
Reach into the sand, come fill me again

[Chorus:]
Where you go, ash and cinders form the afterglow
Blowing over
Undertow, ash and cinders light the afterglow
Sucking under

[Outro:]
Trying hard to bleed slower
Hear you're sinking low, get lower
Trying hard to bleed slower
