Aftermath

Words were never worth enough

so I could count on them

But I can do the math.

It’s starts with two halves–

the haves and the have nots

The odds are not quite so even.

You conquer and divide

and leave no remainder

to measure what is left

There’s so many things

for us to factor in

It’s clear I’m just a fraction of you

But what about the aftermath?

I’m not sure I’m up for the task.

Better pick up all the pieces fast

cause God knows what

what’s after the aftermath.

Words they blind and blush

and multiply themselves.

There’s no formula for that.

Differences aside,

I’m much lesser than you thought

and no greater than the sum of these parts.

[Chorus]

Words will never do

what I want them to do

Nothing can describe this aftermath.
