Lyrics: After Tomorrow

After Tomorrow
Words & Music By Tara Novak

The hollow hungriness 
Warm night washing my thoughts away 
Brief punctuations of light 
Revealing only my cloak of identity 

Here I am
Hiding in sight 
Here I am
Never quite right 
Everybody said, "Be the head of the class" 
Gold and diamond rings
Precious things, now all brass 

After tomorrow I’ll break this spell 
After tomorrow unlock this hell 
I’ll shed this skin
Live out what’s within 
If the sun ever rises
After tomorrow 

The yawning yearning 
Bright sun stealing my breath away 
Forced repetitions of thought 
Leaving only my shadow of identity 

Here I am
Told what to be 
Here I am
With cold accuracy 
Coloring on the page, daily wage, false applause 
All the lessons learned
Praises earned at what cost? 

After tomorrow I’ll break this spell  
After tomorrow unlock this hell  
I’ll shed this skin
Live out what’s within  
If the sun ever rises
After tomorrow 

I’ve been battling all these ways 
Fourteen thousand days and counting 
Layer after layer of learned behavior 
With eyes open, I’m a box checked, a circle, a line drawn 
with eyes closed, I’m a hero, a goddess, an Amazon 

After tomorrow I'll break this spell 
After tomorrow unlock this hell 
I’ll shed this skin
Live out what’s within 
I’ll shed this skin
Live out what’s within 
If the sun ever rises
After tomorrow 
If the sun ever rises
After tomorrow
