We all struggle with our respective demons. Some more, some less. «After Dark» is about an alcoholic who is living on the edge, but somehow still manages to hide the addiction and cope with everyday life. But you can clearly tell it's a balancing act in its final phase.

🖤 𝗟𝘆𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘀 «𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗗𝗮𝗿𝗸»
Scared of sunlight
When your flaws are shown
Hiding in the shade of dreadful fears
Waiting for darkness
To surround your fraud
Remain in the cave until the time has come
Waiting for the sun to set

Only after dark there’s nothing to lose
In the shelter of the night
Only after dark there’s nothing to prove
Among the creatures of the night
You might win this losing fight

Blooming in blackness
Protected by dense fog
Satisfying any dark demand
Gloomy thunders
Can’t spark a single flame
Heavy secrets taken to your grave
Buried for eternity

Only after dark there’s nothing to lose
In the shelter of the night
Only after dark there’s nothing to prove
Among the creatures of the night
You might win this losing fight

Are you pulled by future?
Are you pushed by past?
Do you hold on to memories creeping in from behind?
Are you doomed forever?
Are you free at last?
Do you rise like a phoenix and prove that you are one of a kind?
