Tell Us How It Ends Album Out September 13th via ONErpm

Scott Swanger

Story: Ralph Greco, Jr.

Scott Swanger says “‘Afterthought’ was actually written with the amazing Blair Daly who has written for greats like Tim McGraw, Sixx AM and so many others. The main guitar riffs were primarily his inventions and I came it to supplement those. Together, I think we came up with something incredible. The song itself is one of our favorites to play live as it has one of the coolest choruses and hooks of all the songs from our new album, Tell Us How It Ends.”

“Afterthought”

I’m the voice in your head

That you can’t keep out

I’m the eyes that you find

In a faceless crowd

I’m the flame in the wind

That you can’t slow down

It’ll feed, steal the breath

Right from your mouth

Oh you think you know me

But I think you don’t

Oh you think you own me

But you can’t ignore me

Life!

I won’t let it pass me by

I won’t let you close your eyes on me

Won’t let you sleep on me

Now I’m

The first thing that crossed your mind

The last thing you left to die and rot

Won’t be your afterthought

Your afterthought

I’ve been here all along

But it’s nothing new

Like a crack in the pane

That you look right through

Your silver tongue left me lost

In a thin dust

Left me out in the rain to rust

Crawling back on the day

That I don’t need you

Oh you think you know me

But I think you don’t

(But I think you don’t)

Oh you think you own me

But you can’t ignore me

Life!

I won’t let it pass me by

I won’t let you close your eyes on me

Won’t let you sleep on me

Now I’m

The first thing that crossed your mind

The last thing you left to die and rot

Won’t be your afterthought

Your afterthought

So after all

Is said and done

Will you reach for me?

Or will you turn and run?

After all

Is said and done

Will you reach for me?

Or will you turn and run?

Life!

I won’t let it pass me by

I won’t let you close your eyes on me

Won’t let you sleep on me

Now I’m

The first thing that crossed your mind

The last thing you left to die and rot

Won’t be your afterthought

Your afterthought

Your afterthought!
