"Afterdark" Lyrics

I wanted to help you,
escape from the day
I couldn't speak to you,
it might hurt my racer's heart
I couldn't speak to you,
for what could I say?
These words seem obscene now,
in the light to the racer's heart

Well the words aren't coming,
no the words aren't coming
By day they are far too stark
Well the words mean nothing 'till they're turned to fire
by who we become after dark

You know we have nothing by silence of day
I couldn't speak to you
I have nothing to say to you

Well the words aren't coming,
no the words aren't coming
By day they are far too stark
Well the words mean nothing 'till they're turned to fire
by who we become after dark
Well the words aren't coming,
no the words aren't coming
By day they are far too stark
Well the words mean nothing, but there's no questioning...
just who we become after dark

You know, you know we've got no reason to speak
Come the sun, when it's done
We've no reason to speak

Well the words aren't coming,
no the words aren't coming
By day they are far too stark
Well the words mean nothing 'till they're turned to fire
by who we become oh'
Well the words aren't coming,
no the words aren't coming
By day they are far too stark
Well the words mean nothing, but there's no questioning...
just who we become after dark
