Alternate Innevitability - After the Silence

#AlternateInevitability #AfterTheSilence AFTER THE SILENCE is the closing chapter of a long journey. A story about reaching the other side of grief, not because the scars disappeared, but because they no longer define who you are. The five doors remain standing behind the protagonist, each representing a stage that shaped him: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. They are no longer prisons. They are chapters. For the first time, the road ahead matters more than the road behind. The sky is blue again. Lyrics : [Verse 1] I spent so long looking behind me I barely looked ahead Always carrying old conversations Long after they were dead Then one day I stopped counting Everything I'd lost And realized there was more to life Than everything that was [Pre-Chorus] The world kept turning all this time While I was standing still Now every mile in front of me Feels like somewhere I can go [Chorus] After the silence The sky is blue again After the silence I know where I have been After the silence I don't have to pretend The scars are still there But they don't own me now [Verse 2] The doors are standing where I left them Like pages from the past I thought they'd hold me where I was I thought they'd always last The road ahead keeps calling softly Beyond what I can see And for the first time in forever I wonder what's ahead for me [Pre-Chorus] I don't have all the answers I don't need them anymore Sometimes it's enough to know There's something worth moving toward [Chorus] After the silence The sky is blue again After the silence I know where I have been After the silence I don't have to pretend The scars are still there But they don't own me now [Bridge] I used to think the ending Was waiting somewhere down the line Like one day I'd wake up different And finally feel alright Now I know there was no finish line No moment to arrive Just another open road ahead And a thousand things to find [Final Chorus] After the silence The sky is blue again After the silence I know where I have been After the silence I don't have to pretend The scars are still there But they don't own me now The scars are still there But they don't own me now
