Lyrics

LIFE AFTER BEFORE

I dreamed of a sign on the corner store
Said, “LIFE AFTER BEFORE”
A handwritten scrawl too large to ignore
“LIFE AFTER BEFORE”

What does that mean?
Why was it there?
The strangest sign I’d ever seen
Anyplace, anywhere

The phrase begged these questions I had to explore
Why, “LIFE AFTER BEFORE”?
They splashed in my brain like waves crash the shore
“LIFE AFTER BEFORE”

After before
That could be now
Or life evermore
Maybe nevermore
Still it makes sense somehow

What came before?
What was life then?
When I awoke
I asked myself
Again
Then again
And again

I dreamed of a sign on the corner store
Said, “LIFE AFTER BEFORE”
It played in my mind, too strange to ignore
“LIFE AFTER BEFORE”
“LIFE AFTER BEFORE”
“LIFE
AFTER
BEFORE”
