Afterglow - Garbage

Centre on the wide horizon

Focus on the galaxy

Sweep away your expectations

and recognise your enemies

I hear you talking to yourself

You’re stripping off for someone else

You’ve got to learn to love yourself

It’s all that counts, there’s little else

You’re always looking for affections

and all its possibilities

Your senses searching for attention

in urgent need of gravity

I think you think you’re someone else

You’ve got to learn to save yourself

Before you find there’s nothing left

But bitterness

And hollowness

And afterglow

And afterglow.
