Aftermath Songtext
von Tommy Clift

In the wakes, the waves I swim in
Day by day
I think of you
oceans away

Lost, finding costs of your patterns
Fought, not for loss of your scattered
days, all the same,
stay with me and name
all the colors that paint today

From the docks and rocks
that harbored early fears,
but they locked safely away
those tears
As we swim out
and make our own ways,
then I feel you across these wakes


Always away from someone
Always away from (no one)
Always away from someone
Always away from (no one)
Always always always away from no one
No one, no one, no one

Aftermath,
unmoored homes
drifting together, alone
Aftermath,
these depths run rich beneath
with love, and fear
and lurking memory


If I wanna grab it, hold it,
Smash the portraits
It′s my time to shine,
Never could I have
A Moment
with no noises
They all in my mind
Lately I been crashing
Courses
Asking for it
It's self sabotage
But what is the point
If you ain′t enjoying
Til it's bon voyage
Gotta unplug
For the reset
on my Gil-Scott
Like an egret
Or heron
Herion or
Here on
Out
Nigga gone make this flip
No doubt
Gear up to take this hit
My couch
I'm gwening again
And sinning for cents
Out in the spiral
spinning for grins
stepping outside
But still in my skin,
time to restore the balance
I will endure a challenge,
if it involves
Clearing the chalice
Full to the brim
Of tonic and gin
aperol spritz
Back to UK
back to Big Ben
euro step with
Parisian kin
Techno clubs
I′m Researching chems
Stare at the moon
To see you again,
attempting to fill my tank
with tides
our wakes
Collide until the end

In my bones, these wakes
that show the water is my own,
cymatic phantoms I know
remind me I′m not alone
