[Verse 1]

Be careful what you're looking for

You'll always find an open door

One mistake just leads to more

And you won't get to choose again

An unintended consequence

You become the target while you're busy taking aim

Destroying all your evidence

Knocking down the pieces in your never ending game

[Chorus]

Here in the afterglow

We'll never let it go

All we can do is know

Nowherе to talk about it

Old fires will always fade

The only constant lеft is change

As the warhorse rides away

Forced out but we will not forget

The domino effect

[Verse 2]

Your memory's like oxygen

It's helping you to breathe again

Staving off this pathogen

Painting all your blues away

You override your self-defence

Undermining reason in your race to hold the flame

With alibis and eloquence

Knocking down the pieces in your never ending game

[Chorus]

Here in the afterglow

We'll never let it go

All we can do is know

Nowhere to talk about it

Old fires will always fade

The only constant left is change

As the warhorse rides away

Forced out but we will not forget

The domino effect

[Bridge 1]

We started out

The victim of a flawed machine

Not sure of much

But sure that we were culpable

And through it all

We thought that we could rule the world

So hard to touch

But nothing is unstoppable

[Bridge 2]

Did things get better now

Did you find forever now

Is it time to put us back in our box

'Til all of the fighting stops

'Cos I don't think we're ever going to get back out again

All the liars and all the fools

Can light up the latest rules

To burn away our promises and hopes like oxygen and watch us fall

[Guitar solo]

[Bridge 3]

So put us back in our box

'Til all of the fighting stops

'Cos I don't think we're ever going to get back out again

[Spoken word]

"Let me out of here ???"

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus]

Here in the afterglow

We'll never let it go

All we can do is know

Nowhere to talk about it

Old fires will always fade

The only constant left is change

As the warhorse rides away

Forced out but we will not forget

The domino effect

[Outro]

And through it all

We thought that we could rule the world

The last to know

That we were all just dominoes
