We all fall apart
Buried deep behind the smile
We all have scars
There is truth in our lies
'Cause the shadow's never hiding who we are

We're stuck in a game
Of playing pretend
We're left in the ashes
Again and again

After all the smoke and mirrors
We are only saint and sinners
Waiting for afterglow
Did we take a perfect heaven
Turn it into Armageddon
Waiting for afterglow

Wide awake, we're caught in the blind
It's like we don't see what's right in front of our eyes

We're stuck in a game
Of playing pretend
We're left in the ashes
Again and again

After all the smoke and mirrors
We are only saint and sinners
Waiting for afterglow
Did we take a perfect heaven
Turn it into Armageddon
Waiting for afterglow

In the afterglow
In the afterglow

Are we hoping for a miracle?
Starting fires 'til we're burning out
Are we headed for the free fall?

Are we hoping for a miracle?
Starting fires 'til we're burning out
Are we headed for the free fall?

After all the smoke and mirrors
We are only saint and sinners
Waiting for afterglow
Did we take a perfect heaven
Turn it into Armageddon
Waiting for afterglow

In the afterglow
In the afterglow
In the afterglow
(Waiting for afterglow)
