After Thoughts Lyrics by Filthy Thieving Bastards

A Melody of Retreads and Broken Quills

2001

Afterthoughts are chasing me
Why can't I shake them loose?
Didn't mean to take them seriously
I was bored and my mind was used

Don't think about things easily
I'm not easily free and mild
I'm a poster boy for hypocrisy
And some [?] bastard's child

Nothing in this world is free
But the price I pay is earned easily
Each action's costs keep rising
With the inflated price of apathy

Nothing in this world is free
But every goddamn thing is cheap
Tried every sacred entity
But I'm still unphased and it barely moves me

These strangers keep ignoring me
And I'm proud to say it's humbling
After years of trying to reach them
Should I care if they dismiss me?

I can sleep like a dead man stone cold
They don't remember any of my dreams
No chipper moons or skies and stars
Drink booze and play guitar

Afterthoughts are threatening
[?]
[?] not paying much attention
Trying not to think of love

Bring the [?] and offerings
To the gods of the [?]
The moral and the virtuous
From this rotting [?]

Nothing in this world is free
But the price I pay is earned easily
Each action's costs keep rising
With the inflated price of apathy

Nothing in this world is free
But every goddamn thing is cheap
Tried every sacred entity
But I'm still unphased and it barely moves me
