Comet Aftermath (Version 2)

Verse

Room still hums from where you passed

Floor keeps the shape your shadow cast

Ash light drifting off your shoulder blade

Trail you left before the echo fades

Everybody else moved to the door

You stayed burning on the same square floor

Heat sits low where your hand let go

Dust in the spotlight, falling slow

Pre-Chorus

Was that the burn or just the afterglow

Do we chase the streak or let it go

Chorus

Chase the tail of light

Chase what's left tonight

Chase the tail of light

Ember on the floor, still bright

Chase the tail of light

Follow where the heat ignites

Chase the tail of light

Comet's gone but we're still alight

Verse

Your collar's damp, the room's gone quiet

Bassline drops but the floor won't buy it

Streak of gold across the ceiling fan

Same spot glowing where the two hands ran

Strangers step around the empty space

Like they feel the burn we didn't chase

Floor remembers heavier than skin

Keeps the print of where we've been

Pre-Chorus

Was that the burn or just the afterglow

Do we chase the streak or let it go

Chorus

Chase the tail of light

Chase what's left tonight

Chase the tail of light

Ember on the floor, still bright

Chase the tail of light

Follow where the heat ignites

Chase the tail of light

Comet's gone but we're still alight

Bridge

Maybe the burn was never the point

Maybe it's this, the smoke in the joint

Maybe we don't need the flash to stay

Maybe the afterglow's the way

Chorus

Chase the tail of light

Chase what's left tonight

Chase the tail of light

Ember on the floor, still bright

Chase the tail of light

Follow where the heat ignites

Chase the tail of light

Comet's gone but we're still alight
