- Afterlife Lyrics

I tasted fire, I'm ready to come alive.
I can't just shut it up, and fake that I'm alright.
I'm ready now, I'm not waiting for the afterlife.

I'll let it burn the way the sunlight burns my skin.
The way I feel inside, the way the day begins.
I'm ready now, I'm not waiting for the other side
I'm ready now, I'm ready now

Cuz everyday, the world is made a chance to change,
but I feel the same and I wonder why
would I wait till I die to come alive
I'm ready now, I'm not waiting for the afterlife.

Yeah

I still believe we could live forever
You and I we begin forever now
Forever now, Forever
I still believe in us together
You and I we're here together now, Forever now
Forever now, or never now

Cuz every day, the world is made a chance to change,
but I feel the same and I wonder why
would I wait till I die to come alive
I'm ready now, I'm not waiting for the afterlife.

Everyday a choice is made
Everyday I choose my fate and I wonder why
would I wait till I die to come alive
to come alive
Everyday, everyday, everyday I still feel the same
and I wonder why would I wait till I die to come alive

I'm ready now, I'm not waiting for the afterlife
I'm ready now, I'm ready now, I'm ready now, I'm ready
I'm ready now, I'm not waiting for the afterlife

Yeah
Yeah
YEAH!
