[Lyric] Living in the Aftermath (Louis Barabbas)

The light has gone out in your window
We are perched on the brink of dawn
But I am outside in the shadows
And I'm alone

But I am no stranger to this door
It was built with the sweat from my brow
And I lingered a while on this threshold
Before turning round

What I like can be found in the looking
What I want is to be there with you
But some houses are better as ruins
And some people too

So darling now
Turn my picture
To the wall
Do what you must do
You say that shame
Lies we tell
But there's more shamе in the truth
And you've scorned all my cloistеred virtues
And the vices they may have produced
And you say that the time for seduction
Is a time
To be seduced

But when the watering holes have all run dry
I will drink from the mirage
And when you meet me there I will not ask why
I will just laugh

So darling now
Turn my picture
To the wall
Do what you must do
You say that shame
Lies we tell
But there's more shame in the truth

Turn my picture
To the wall
And do what you must do
You say that shame
Lies we tell
But there's more shame in the truth
There's far more shame in the truth
There is far more shame
