Now I lay me down to sleep
Six feet down beneath concrete
If I should die before I wake
Did I make peace or a mistake?

Before the ink dries on the suicide note
Before you say goodbye to the ones you love most
Before you burn the book of your story untold
Hold on, hold on

Before you cut ties with the demons you know
Before you tie a knot at the end of your rope
Before you decide that you're running out of hope
Hold on

You don't have to die
To reach the other side
You don't have to die, have to die
To find your afterlife, afterlife
The monsters in your mind
Are mountains you can climb
You don't have to die, have to die
To find your afterlife, afterlife

Before you look for God in a bottle of pills
Before you turn the lights off so you don't have to feel
Before it's not a threat, before you make it real
Hold on, hold on

Before you go to sleep praying to a razor blade
Before you stare a gun down to see a better place
Before it's in stone, before it's too late
Hold on

You don't have to die
To reach the other side
You don't have to die, have to die
To find your afterlife, afterlife
The monsters in your mind
Are mountains you can climb
You don't have to die, have to die
To find your afterlife, afterlife

Nobody knows
If we'll ever rest in peace
But we control
Where the road ahead will lead
You've got eternity to escape

If I should die
Before I wake
Did I make peace
Or a mistake?

You don't have to die
To reach the other side
You don't have to die, have to die
To find your afterlife
The monsters in your mind
Are mountains you can climb
You don't have to die, have to die
To find your afterlife, afterlife

Afterlife
