Lyrics

AFTER ALL
Words and music
By nenah barkley



She says I’m the sun with dirty eyes
I learned that living on the south side
Where the flies stay alive by the spider’s demise
Choking on poverty walls
Alone with my sweat and the stench of that life
With arberite I knocked on wood
No dreaming just sleeping so it can never hurt

But we’re together and it matters after all, after all, after all
Cause we’re together and it matters ….after all

Staying disappointed left no room for
But your love’s solvent ate at my core
I was lost in libido with a stupid intellect
Was my choice of distractment
Contributing to our confines
I helped keep the illusion alive
It never dawned on me that I could get out alive

Chr

Eating acid gave me my nourishment
Creating a feeling that I really could
Find joy on a wing on a downward spiral
Rough justice no one warned me of
