No need for a hand

Unaware that I was dancing on the edge but wasn't due

Oh, serene's the sea behind me, into the whirl of devil time

[Verse 1]
Fm Fsus2 Fm Fsus2 Fm
G gentle rocking, then a crack in the cradle
Fm Fsus2 Fm Fsus2 D#
You're asleep until you hit the ground
Fm Fsus2 Fm Fsus2 Fm
One for this road and another for after?
Fm Fsus2 Fm Fsus2 Db
Someone tell me: what's yer 'after' all about?
[Pre-Chorus]

From ease to the sky, until the world gets in the way
[Chorus 1]
Gm A# F
Ring in the age: countdown to zero

Chasing the afterglow

Time and again the sundown it screams my name

Buy I try to turn away

Fm Fsus2 Fm Fsus2 Fm
The gorge of the instant devours the future
Fm Fsus2 Fm Fsus2 D#
To spit it out as a fading memory

When my mindset fails to let me see

Will I travel on and longing pave the road?
[Chorus 2]
Gm A# F
Ring in the age: countdown to zero
C
Chasing the afterglow
Gm A# F
The outcome is set, as far as they know
Gm A# Dm
Is it the end or maybe the outset
C Gm
Or just a stage of a whole that I can't survey

Time and again it's screaming my name

[Bridge 1]
C
So you don't wanna see
C
You realize that your senses have come to the edge
C
And you don't trust a single one
Am F G
Don't wanna turn your inside towards the sky
Am F G6 G
Are we afraid to catch a glimpse of truth tonight?
C
Could the heavens reveal what's inside the afterglow?
C
Is this light just based on perception now?
Am F G
Or do I refuse to perceive what is hard to ignore?
Am F G6 G
From ease through fire into the afterglow...
C
And you don't wanna see (I look up in search of forever and wonder)
C
See that your eyes have come (Trying to make out that day)
C
To a point where you don't see why and where you run (That I had to give my inherent spiritual juvenility
away and again)
Am F G
Will you turn your inside towards the sky (Why is it made so difficult for us to read the signs that we)
Am F G6 G
You're scared to death by what your heart may see tonight (Have to read in order just to understand read so
we can comprehend a trace of eternity)
C
Pictures of void burn in the afterglow (I look up in search of forever and wonder)
C
Purification or just a perception now? (Trying to make out that day)
Am F G
Will you refuse to feel what you can't ignore (That I had to give my inherent spiritual juvenility away
and again)
Am F G6 G
From ease through fire into afterglow (Have to read in order just to understand read so we can comprehend
a trace of eternity)

Gm F D#
I try to look as far as the eye can see
Cm Dm D#
Past and beyond the dark painted wall, oh
[Chorus]
A# Gm F
Ring in the age: countdown to zero
C
Chasing the afterglow
Gm A# F
The outcome is set, as far as they know
Gm A# Dm
Is it the end or maybe the outset
C Gm
Or just a stage of a whole that I can't survey
Dm C
Time and again it's screaming my name
