Lyrics

I asked God
if death was just another room.
He said nothing.
So I asked the dark
if silence was the answer.
It opened its mouth
and swallowed the moon.
I asked the Devil
if he knew my name.
He laughed and said,
You've been writing it
on every wound.

I told God
I was afraid to disappear.
He said,
You were disappearing
long before you came here

I told the Devil
I still wanted more time.
He said,
Everybody wants forever
when the clock begins to die

So I counted every heartbeat
like coins
I couldn't spend.
And wondered which one
would be the last one
before the end.

AFTER GOD TURNS OUT THE LIGHTS
Will I still know
who I was?
Will I hear the Devil laughing?
Will I hear
the voice of God?
When the room goes black
and my shadow leaves my side,
will there be something waiting

AFTER GOD TURNS OUT THE LIGHTS?

I asked God
if heaven remembers murderers.
He said,
Heaven remembers everything.

I asked the Devil
if hell remembers love.
He smiled and said,
That's where
we keep the best of it.

I asked them both
which one of them
was telling me the truth.
God went quiet.
The Devil pointed
back at me.

Maybe heaven
is the lie we need.
Maybe hell
is what survives belief.
Maybe death
is only God
turning off the lights
so we finally see.

AFTER GOD TURNS OUT THE LIGHTS
Will I still know
who I was?
Will I hear the Devil laughing?
Will I hear
the voice of God?
When the room goes black
And my shadow leaves my side,
will there be something waiting
AFTER GOD TURNS OUT THE LIGHTS?

I asked God,
“Was I good enough?”
The ceiling didn't answer.
I asked the Devil,
“Was I bad enough?”

He said,
“You always ask
the wrong questions.”
So I asked myself
what I was afraid of.
The pain?
The dark?
The judgment?

No.
I was afraid
that death might be
exactly what it looks like.

No staircase.
No fire.
No choir.
No throne.
No hands reaching down
to carry me home.
Just one final breath
trying to remember
what it felt like
to belong.
And one last thought
hanging in the dark:
If God made me,
why was I so afraid
to meet him

AFTER GOD TURNS OUT THE LIGHTS
Will I still know
who I was?
Will the Devil call me brother?
Will I finally speak with God?
When my heartbeat stops
and the darkness opens wide,
will somebody tell me
what was waiting

AFTER GOD TURNS OUT THE LIGHTS

I asked God
what happens when we die.
He finally answered.
Nothing you can understand
while you're still alive

I asked the Devil
if that scared him too.
He said,
Of course.
Why do you think
I'm down here
talking to you
And then.

God
turned out
the lights
