[00:00.98]Aftershocks - Aaron Tveit
[00:02.45]
[00:03.91]They've managed to get rid of me
[00:05.84]Return me to the grave
[00:07.77]Ect electric chair
[00:09.94]We shock who we can't save
[00:11.61]They've cleared you of my memory
[00:13.74]And many more as well
[00:15.69]You may have wanted some of them
[00:17.80]But who can ever tell
[00:19.59]Your brainwaves are more regular
[00:21.92]The chemistry more pure
[00:23.85]The headaches and the nausea
[00:25.64]Will pass and you'll endure
[00:27.73]Your son is gone forever though
[00:29.79]Of that the doctor's sure
[00:33.04]
[00:34.35]The memories will wane
[00:37.57]
[00:38.49]The aftershocks remain
[00:41.28]
[00:41.97]You wonder which is worse
[00:44.67]The symptom or the cure
[00:49.43]
[00:50.60]They've managed to get rid of me
[00:52.42]I'm gone without a trace
[00:54.41]But sear the soul and leave a scar
[00:56.34]No treatment can erase
[00:58.37]They cut away the cancer
[01:00.22]But forgot to fill the hole
[01:02.35]They moved me from your memory
[01:04.41]I'm still there in your soul
[01:06.19]Your life goes back to normal now
[01:08.40]Or so they all believe
[01:10.21]Your heart is in your chest again
[01:12.52]Not hanging from your sleeve
[01:14.23]They've driven out the demons
[01:16.05]And they've earned you this reprieve
[01:20.20]
[01:21.68]The memories are gone
[01:24.43]
[01:25.63]The aftershocks live on
[01:28.34]
[01:28.98]But with nothing to remember
[01:32.89]Is there nothing left to grieve
[01:39.62]With nothing to remember
