lyrics

nothing remains
Jesse Myers 2009


Chorus
What if what if the past was different
What if that loss had been a win
What if I’d never been beaten
What if I wasn’t so broken
What if what if the past had never been
What if I’d never let doubt in
What if and How, Who, Where, Why and When
What if the questions never end

Verse One
What if can solve nothing; nothing can be changed
Nothing can be altered; nothing is ever gained
There’s no one to fight; there is no one to blame
What if cannot save you; can’t protect you from your pain

Chorus
What if what if the past was different
What if that loss had been a win
What if I’d never been beaten
What if I wasn’t so broken
What if what if the past had never been
What if I’d never let doubt in
What if and How, Who, Where, Why and When
What if the questions never end

Verse Two
What if still distracts me; from what is and will be
What if can slow me down; and stop me and kill me
What if maybe if I’d only won’t fulfill me
What if and daydreaming; never lead to tranquility

Bridge
What if I’d tried to be a better man
What if I’d done all I know that I can
What if can’t take you back; now is your moment
Mistakes have been made and now you must learn from it
We’ll never get where we’re going until
We stop wishing that all our what ifs were real
Now you move forward; through future endeavors
It’s time to recover; it’s time to get better

Verse Three
What if can deepen and; broaden my despair
What if will tell me that; my life isn’t fair
What if still prevents me; from seeking repair
What if holds me captive; inside my nightmare

Chorus
What if what if the past was different
What if that loss had been a win
What if I’d never been beaten
What if I wasn’t so broken
What if what if the past had never been
What if I’d never let doubt in
What if and How, Who, Where, Why and When
What if the questions never end

Chorus
What if what if the past was different
What if that loss had been a win
What if I’d never been beaten
What if I wasn’t so broken
What if what if the past had never been
What if I’d never let doubt in
What if and How, Who, Where, Why and When
What if the questions never end

about

After the Mourning Temple, Texas

After the Mourning is perpetually writing and recording the next two albums. Each album includes loud music and shouting, broken up by instrumental interludes.

The songs have elements of music from another era, but incorporate novel concepts that keep each track dynamic. This merging of nostalgia and uniqueness keeps each album engaging from the opening chord to the final resolve.
