Lyrics for In My Afterlife

Taken to task in some engine of Hell I lacked the toll to cross the river there Someone forgot to put the sterling on my bow Gone from a world, that I might sail, mmm Taken to plow off this debt somehow Somewhere in the outer planets I think that it's cold but I'm not sure that this is my body I was robbed of my mask in some engine of Hell I have a feeling that I might be here a while You might wanna call in a maid to help keep you clean But I remembered all of your lines from life And told them to my keeper He said that you, you were funny, but a liar Some dark deceiver, mmm Some dark deceiver Now I'm free drifting through Saturn's debris Things cut and floating through a blackness That never seems to end I think if I willed it, I could return home But the warmth of the sun, it has become searing I have a feeling that I might float here a while Rift and directionless that I might spin myself But I remembered all of your lines from the living And I told them to my nearest keeper A distant star there was laughing Said you were funny And now we're free And now we're free
