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
