AFI Lyrics
Dark Snow lyrics - AFI
I wanted to take you
From those robes to feel the cold
Undressing the blessings
Feels like my afterlife, my afterlife
I go on
Yet on that night I went down with the lights
Somehow, over and over
I go on
They carried me out when the lights went out
Over, I'm over
I wanted to keep you
But I was told you'd grown too old
For someone who stayed young by bleeding light
My afterlife... is black and cold
I go on
Yet on that night I went down with the lights
Somehow, over and over
I go on
They carried me out when the lights went out
Over, I'm over
I go on
Yet on that night I went down with the lights
Somehow, over and over
I go on
They carried me out when the lights went out
Over, I'm over
Still A Stranger lyrics - AFI
There is a mis-, misunderstanding that there's a bliss beneath it all
That every time it's never ending, there is a kiss to change us all
It's in the dark, it's in your photo that keeps falling from the wall
Tell me it's better way up there. I need you. I need you. I need you to tell me...
Does it feel the same
After healing fame
And all the strange, strange, strange behavior?
Does it make it worse?
They mispronounce the hurt
I feel so strange. I'm still a stranger
Is there the mis-, misunderstanding that there's a hit of healing light?
Tell me the cuts finally stop showing before we kiss, again, the night
Here in the dark, tripping your picture I keep rehanging on the wall
I need you better way up there. I need you. I need you better
Does it feel the same
After healing fame
And all the strange, strange, strange behavior?
Does it make it worse?
They mispronounce the hurt
I feel so strange. I'm still a stranger
Does it feel the same?
Would I feel like you?
Because I still feel strange
Are you a stranger too? (I'm still a stranger)
I wish it mattered more (I'm still a stranger)
But I never will be you
I always feel so fucking strange
Are you a stranger too?
I'm still a stranger
I'm still a stranger. (Are you a stranger?)
Does it feel the same
After healing fame
And all the strange, strange, strange behavior?
Does it make it worse?
They mispronounce the hurt
I feel so strange. I'm still a stranger
I'm still a stranger
I'm still a stranger
Aurelia lyrics - AFI
Aurelia, the new wolves await
Aurelia, they brought you new chains
They're barking in the wrong key
They're barking in the wrong key
They're barking in the wrong key
And you sing along
Aurelia, dream animals' wills
Are real enough to make the slow kill
They're barking in the wrong key
They're barking in the wrong key
They're barking in the wrong key
And you sing along
Can you see at night?
We can see at night
Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh
Can you see at night?
We can see at night
Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh
And we're barking in the wrong key
They're barking in the wrong key
They're barking in the wrong key
And you sing along
And you sing along
And you sing along
They're barking in the wrong key
And you sing along
Hidden Knives lyrics - AFI
I'll scratch a mystery just please continue
On with your crime. It's not that I don't mind
Or, if you prefer, I'll pen a murder
To pass your time - your empty time
I left a little something on the altar for you
So poorly I've hidden knives
You will find them, you will find them
(My hidden knives)
So poorly I've hidden knives
You will find them, you'll find them
And we'll put pen to page
There is no mystery in my cadence
I've penned the end over smarter lines
But we both prefer romantic murder
To erase time and my, my empty life
I left a little something on the table for you
So poorly I've hidden knives
You will find them, you will find them
(My hidden knives)
So poorly I've hidden knives
You will find them, you'll find them
And we'll put pen to page
Oh, you know me well
(Oh, you know me well)
Oh, you know me well
(Oh, you know me well)
Well enough to find
(Oh, you know me well)
Surely sharpened knives
I left a little something on the table for you
So poorly I've hidden knives
You will find them, you will find them
(My hidden knives)
So poorly I've hidden knives
You will find them, you'll find them
And we'll put pen to page
Get Hurt lyrics - AFI
Here in the world of words unspoken we've broken down
Let's take that defective heart apart
Out of the light - a final showing
We're closing down and to get that faulty heart to start
Follow me down the road
I'm promising I will be a good boy
I can't let you see, I can't let you see
I can't let you see me sleeping
I can't let you see, I may have to leave
I can't let you see me sleeping
Here in the world of words unspoken we've broken down
And to get that faulty heart to start
Enter this house of empty movements
We're losing every faint sense of who we were. We are
Follow me to this room
Promise me you will keep your eyes closed
I can't let you see, I can't let you see
I can't let you see me sleeping
I can't let you see, I may have to leave
I can't let you see me sleeping
I can't let you see me
I can't let you see me
I can't let you see me sleep
With my mouth agape
Don't watch me too closely
I can't let you see, I can't let you see
I can't let you see me sleeping
I can't let you see old blood on my teeth
I can't let you see me sleeping
I can't let you see me sleeping
I can't let you see me sleeping
Above The Bridge lyrics - AFI
It's too much to take, the thought of it all. Release me distraction
It's too much to take, the thought of my fall, shameful attraction
What happened to the place I'd hide? Who taught you how to sneak inside?
It's too much to take. It's too much to take
I saw you step upon that bridge
I saw you walk across that bridge
I saw you float above that bridge
I saw you step upon that bridge
I saw you walk across that bridge
I saw you float above our bridge
And I've floated since that day
It's too much to take, the thought of it all. Release me distraction
It's too much to take, the thought of my fall, shameful attraction
What happened to the place I'd hide? I taught you how to sneak inside
It's too much to take. It's too much to take. It's too much to take. It's too
I saw you step upon that bridge
I saw you walk across that bridge
I saw you float above that bridge
I saw you step upon that bridge
I saw you walk across that bridge
I saw you float above our bridge
And I've floated since that day
I thought I saw the sky
I thought I saw the sky
I thought I saw the sky
Behind your eyes
I thought I saw the sky
I thought I saw the sky
I thought I saw the sky
Behind your eyes
I saw you step upon that bridge
I saw you walk across that bridge
I saw you float above that bridge
I saw you step upon that bridge
I saw you walk across that bridge
I saw you float above our bridge
And I've floated since that day
So Beneath You lyrics - AFI
I don't believe that I can stay here
And watch them vilify my blood
I don't believe that you are with me
It's so beneath you, gazing up
I won't kneel
I won't bow
If you're there now
Strike me down, strike me down, strike me down
Oh, you've got nothing
There is none higher than this blood
And I won't serve anyone
No there is nothing above
And I don't serve anyone, anyone
There's nothing above
Deep in my heart, a disbeliever
Only inviting in the truth
You're in my heart, my disbeliever
As holy horror crushes you
I won't kneel
I won't bow
No one is there to
Strike me down, strike me down, strike me down
Except the faithful
There is none higher than this blood
And I won't serve anyone
No there is nothing above
And I don't serve anyone, anyone
I don't believe that I can stay here
And watch them vilify my blood
I don't believe that I can stay here
And watch them vilify your love, my love
I won't kneel
I won't bow
If you're there, God
Strike me down, strike me down
You won't
There is none higher than this blood
And I won't serve anyone
No there is nothing above
And I don't serve anyone, anyone
There's nothing above
Snow Cats lyrics - AFI
Am I coy enough? Not boy enough?
You wanted me in this dress
Or nothing else you say I am
I am not scared enough, prepared enough
You wanted me in distress
I've nothing left to fear
I am, I am here
I'll wait for you another night
(As you like)
Dressed in Himalayan white
I'll wait for you some other night
(Dressed as you like)
Dressed in Himalayan white
Am I loud too much and proud too much?
You wanted me in this stance
Or on my back you said I am
I am not read enough in bed enough
I've given up on romance
I've nothing left for love
I am, I am here
I'll wait for you another night
(As you like)
Dressed in Himalayan white
I'll wait for you some other night
(Dressed as you like)
Dressed in Himalayan white
Who's to say when the cats are away?
What they say, what they say
We won't come back
Who's to say when the cats are away?
We won't come back
What they say, what they say
We won't come back
Who's to say when we cats are away?
We won't come back
What we say, what I say
I won't stay
I'll wait for you some other night
(Dressed as you like)
Dressed in Himalayan white
I'll wait for you some other night
(As you like)
Dressed in Himalayan white
I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you
(As you like)
Dressed in Himalayan white
Dumb Kids lyrics - AFI
Up until the day you met the family
You'd never felt that pain begin to drain, oh
And up until the day you sold the family
You'd kept that fractured face from being shown
Let's play
Turn to stone
Like you played with broken bones and now finally you can see me
Turn to stone
Up until the day you cracked the fountain
I'd never felt my life draining away, oh
Up until that day you tainted the water
You'd kept that average face from being shown
Let's play
Turn to stone
Like you played with broken bones and now finally you can see me
Turn to stone
Whoa, dumb kids, dumb kids
Were we only playing like dumb kids?
Dumb kids, dumb kids
Let's play
Turn to stone
Like you played with broken bones and now finally you can see me
Turn to stone
Were we only playing like dumb kids?
Dumb kids
Were we only playing like dumb kids?
Dumb kids, dumb kids
Pink Eyes lyrics - AFI
Not addicted to night, afraid of the morning
That I awake and feel like someone is here
But I'm laying right out, going darker and darker
When my skin peels away roses appear and I'll turn over
Find me in the corner of the round room
Reaching into dawn to find night blooms
Beauty, how you blind!
Give me a reason
Without sight
I will ever find you
And how you blind!
I know the reason
I can't stop touching my eyes
I'm allied to the night and warring the morning
I retreat into the dark if someone is near
You can lay me right out with the right kind of flower
When my senses slip away lilies appear
In the hot house you'll find me
Staring at the end, again, in rapture
Beauty, how you blind!
Give me a reason
Without sight
I will ever find you
And how you blind!
I know the reason
I can't stop
I lick my fingers
(Lick my fingers)
Make my tongue go numb
(Make my tongue go numb)
I chew you from beneath my nails
(Make my tongue go numb)
Put your petals in my mouth
Put your petals in my mouth
Beauty, how you blind!
Give me a reason
Without sight
I will ever find you
And how you blind!
I know the reason
I can't stop touching my eyes
Feed From The Floor lyrics - AFI
Dust on dust in a new room
First impressions of the sun
Burnt the skin, now are buried
We've been staring up too long
Eyes gone dry, no more tears
Salt and shame upon my tongue
Dust on dust, drying flowers
We've been coming here too long
Here in the golden mirror
Watch every word you say
Shatter and find a way
To cut like golden days
Flesh on flesh on the dry earth
Our reflections are the same
Wearing dust, match the desert
Past is captured as it's made
In your image, like an actress
Lying to protect her age
Dust on lens, dying flowers
We shall not return again
Here in the golden mirror
Watch every word you say
Shatter and find a way
To cut like golden days
Watching as I fade
Fading as I'm watching every word I say
Loving how I fade
Fading like a flower knowing that the rain...
That the rain may fall
Too late, it can't revive my dying flowers
Oh, the rain may fall
Too late, this is our final hour
Here in the golden mirror
Watch every word you say
Shatter and find a way
To cut like golden days
You're watching as I fade
Fading as I'm watching every word I say
Loving how I fade
Fading like a flower knowing that the rain
Here in the golden mirror
Watch every word you say
Shatter and find a way
To cut like golden days
White Offerings lyrics - AFI
If I were only
If I were only here I'd try
I'd try to give you paper birds I've made
Oh, everyone takes flight never to return again
White offerings are all I bring
Welcome to white room, white room
White offerings are all I bring
I welcome you, I offer you this white room
If I were only
If I were only here I'd try
I'd try to gift you paper birds I free
And you'd set fire to my sky
Oh, but I will offer you
White offerings are all I bring
Welcome to white room, white room
White offerings are all I bring
I welcome you, I offer you this white room
I can feel your color changing
I can feel your color changing
I can feel your color changing
I can feel it change
White offerings are all I bring
Welcome to white room, white room
White offerings are all I bring
I welcome you, I offer you this white room
White
White room
White room
White offerings are all I bring
I offer you this white room
She Speaks The Language lyrics - AFI
If you'd tell me it's real
I can make an appeal
To the controlling fragile child
Let me speak. He won't make sense
Until we reach the consequence
It's voluntary like your smile
As he quakes
Now I know
This must be love
Now I know
Now I know
This, this must be love
Now I know
This must be love
This must be love
Oh
When you dared me to feel
When I made that appeal
To the incorrigible child
You stuffed his mouth with dirty rags
And tied his head within a bag
Pitch black and silken like your smile
He's silent...
Now I know
This must be love
Now I know (oh)
Now I know
This, this must be love
Now I know
Little drops upon my cuffs
(Little drops upon my cuffs)
Let me know this must be love
Red, red, drops upon my cuffs
(Red, red, drops upon my cuffs)
Let me know this must be love
Now I know this must be
This must be love
Now I know
This must be love
Now I know (oh)
Now I know
This, this must be love
Now I know
This must be love
Little drops upon my cuffs
(Little drops upon my cuffs)
This must be love
Let me know this must be love
This must be love
Red, red, drops upon my cuffs
(Red, red, drops upon my cuffs)
This must be love
Let me know this must be love
Now I know this must be
This must be love
The Wind That Carries Me Away lyrics - AFI
Wrap the sky in your arms
Hold it to your heart
Turn the dust to diamonds
And here we finally part
And here we finally part
Here we finally part
And the wind that brought me down
Cannot stay
And the wind that carried me out
Carries me away, carries me away
Crush the dust in your hand
Hold it to your heart
Promises mean nothing
Until we finally part
And here we finally part
And the wind that brought me down
Cannot stay
And the wind that carried me out
Carries me away, carries me
And the blood (blood) runs (runs)
Further into blind eyes
And the blood (blood) runs (runs)
Faster than we can
And the wind that brought me down
Cannot stay
And the wind that carried me out
Carries me away, carries me away
Carries me away
Caught lyrics - AFI
(from "Where We Used To Meet" soundtrack)
Hold me for a moment without a word
Of everything that we've done, of all I've heard
Still your tongue with feeling or we'll be found
Hold me for a second without a sound
In the lightest
Rare requited kiss
You a light and I, I abyss
Hold me for a moment without a word
Of everything that we felt, until you've heard
Every song that we have loved, played to death
I will hold you for a lifetime, with my breath
As we held silent
In the lightest
Rare requited kiss
You a light and I, I abyss
I can tell you
I can tell you now
Now that I have been caught
I can tell you
I can tell you now
Now that I have been caught
(In the lightest, rare requited...)
In the lightest
Rare requited kiss
You a light and I, I abyss
Hold my last kiss
That I left with you
You my light that I ever miss

The Sinking Night lyrics - AFI
Blackness drips down from both of my hands
The gold in my palm was mistaken for sand
Can you feel it?
The blackness it drips down from both of my eyes
The sand that you made has taken my sight
I can feel it
Over the wind
Under the rain
Out of the chaos
I can hear your name
Through the sinking night
On this sinking night
I see your face
(On this sinking night)
On this sinking night
The gold in my palm was mistaken for sand
Can you feel it?
The blackness it drips down from both of my eyes
The sand that you made has taken my sight
I can feel it
Over the wind
Under the rain
Out of the chaos
I can hear your name
Through the sinking night
On this sinking night
I see your face
(On this sinking night)
On this sinking night
I Hope You Suffer lyrics - AFI
I got two letters from you
Last words of the runaway
Your love was written so true
And now I can't speak your name
I faced destruction and you just killed me and walked away
I gave my heart to the cruel
Now it will not beat again
I hope you do
I hope you suffer
I hope you do
I hope you suffer
I hope you do
I hope you suffer
I hope you do
Just like I suffered
No one will ever know you
Deny the last one who cares
Intoxicate with the new
Pretend I'm no longer here
I opened my heart to you
You lied just to reach inside
Now with the faith you removed our hope for forgiveness dies
I hope you do
I hope you suffer
I hope you do
I hope you suffer
I hope you do
I hope you suffer
I hope you do
Just like I suffered
I've seen my darkest days
You gave each one to me
I've seen my darkest days
You gave each one to me
You have been lost for days
May you find my darkness
I hope you do
I hope you suffer
I hope you do
I hope you suffer
I hope you do
I hope you suffer
I hope you do
Just like I, I fucking suffered
Just like you
You made me suffer
I hope you, I hope you do
Last words of the runaway
Your love was written so true
And now I can't speak your name
I faced destruction and you just killed me and walked away
I gave my heart to the cruel
Now it will not beat again
I hope you do
I hope you suffer
I hope you do
I hope you suffer
I hope you do
I hope you suffer
I hope you do
Just like I suffered
No one will ever know you
Deny the last one who cares
Intoxicate with the new
Pretend I'm no longer here
I opened my heart to you
You lied just to reach inside
Now with the faith you removed our hope for forgiveness dies
I hope you do
I hope you suffer
I hope you do
I hope you suffer
I hope you do
I hope you suffer
I hope you do
Just like I suffered
I've seen my darkest days
You gave each one to me
I've seen my darkest days
You gave each one to me
You have been lost for days
May you find my darkness
I hope you do
I hope you suffer
I hope you do
I hope you suffer
I hope you do
I hope you suffer
I hope you do
Just like I, I fucking suffered
Just like you
You made me suffer
I hope you, I hope you do
A Deep Slow Panic lyrics - AFI
I watched you go out the door
With poise I'd not seen before
I saw you shine, you shine
I collapsed to the floor
It promised it'd miss me more and said,
"True love is mine.
I missed you.
Did you miss me?"
Slowly, it's consuming me
Deliberate and deep
I can't take this deeper panic
Teach me, teach me not to dream
Dream deeply
I haven't left here for days
My panic keeps me awake as he unwinds inside
He told me I should have known
That he hated the way I'd grown to love soft lies
She lied
"Do you miss her?
Like I miss you?"
Slowly, it's consuming me
Deliberate and deep
I can't take this deeper panic
Teach me, teach me not to dream
Dream deeply
[Instrumental]
Slowly, it's consuming me
Deliberate and deep
I can't take this deeper panic
Teach me, teach me not to dream
Dream deeply
Slowly, I'll swallow your fears
For all of those years
How could you let them consume me?
Teach me, teach me how you sleep
So sweetly
Slowly, it's consuming me
Deliberate and deep
I can't take this deeper panic
Teach me, teach me how you sleep
So sweetly
With poise I'd not seen before
I saw you shine, you shine
I collapsed to the floor
It promised it'd miss me more and said,
"True love is mine.
I missed you.
Did you miss me?"
Slowly, it's consuming me
Deliberate and deep
I can't take this deeper panic
Teach me, teach me not to dream
Dream deeply
I haven't left here for days
My panic keeps me awake as he unwinds inside
He told me I should have known
That he hated the way I'd grown to love soft lies
She lied
"Do you miss her?
Like I miss you?"
Slowly, it's consuming me
Deliberate and deep
I can't take this deeper panic
Teach me, teach me not to dream
Dream deeply
[Instrumental]
Slowly, it's consuming me
Deliberate and deep
I can't take this deeper panic
Teach me, teach me not to dream
Dream deeply
Slowly, I'll swallow your fears
For all of those years
How could you let them consume me?
Teach me, teach me how you sleep
So sweetly
Slowly, it's consuming me
Deliberate and deep
I can't take this deeper panic
Teach me, teach me how you sleep
So sweetly
No Resurrection lyrics - AFI
I wanted to save you
Give breath that escaped you
But you stayed down (stayed down)
To resuscitate you
Breath my breath back into you
You stayed out (stayed out)
I wanted to shake you
To scream to awaken you
You stayed down (stayed out)
In your slumber you saw everything
Everything but me
Why must we stop?
Why must we stop now?
Why must you crush our glow?
Don't you know that heaven is slow?
Don't remake our heaven
I wanted to save us
Wept words that escaped us
But you stayed out (You shut them out)
I fell down to face you
To find you were wakeful
And you'd forced me out, I'm nothing now
In your slumber you saved everything
Everything but me
Why must we stop?
Why must we stop now?
Why must you crush our glow?
Don't you know that heaven is slow?
Don't remake our heaven
Why must we stop?
Why must we stop now?
Why must you crush our glow?
Don't you know that heaven is slow?
Don't erase our heaven
Give breath that escaped you
But you stayed down (stayed down)
To resuscitate you
Breath my breath back into you
You stayed out (stayed out)
I wanted to shake you
To scream to awaken you
You stayed down (stayed out)
In your slumber you saw everything
Everything but me
Why must we stop?
Why must we stop now?
Why must you crush our glow?
Don't you know that heaven is slow?
Don't remake our heaven
I wanted to save us
Wept words that escaped us
But you stayed out (You shut them out)
I fell down to face you
To find you were wakeful
And you'd forced me out, I'm nothing now
In your slumber you saved everything
Everything but me
Why must we stop?
Why must we stop now?
Why must you crush our glow?
Don't you know that heaven is slow?
Don't remake our heaven
Why must we stop?
Why must we stop now?
Why must you crush our glow?
Don't you know that heaven is slow?
Don't erase our heaven
17 Crimes lyrics - AFI
If you had a day,
would you give me a moment?
Would you allow our play
to leave no bone unbroken?
Let’s love, like 17.
I’m in love with poisoning.
Only bring your pretty, frightful gifts to me.
Let’s love, and kill like 17 now.
If I weren’t so cold,
we could unfreeze this moment.
And as the world grow old,
We’ll leave no heart unbroken.
Let’s love, like 17.
I’m in love with poisoning.
Only bring your pretty, frightful gifts to me.
Let’s love, and kill like 17 now.

tomorrow cannot be like this.
Tomorrow they will take a stand.
We’ll leave no heart unbroken.

The Conductor lyrics - AFI
Drop like the needle
Today I felt the drain
I’ll climb back up to you
On ladders of the rain
Break them down, shake up their beliefs
I’ll show them, show them a believer
300,000 amps
And I’m your warm receiver
When they kill the lights
You’ll remain my conductor
And if they didn’t drain your life
I’ll become your conductor
Don’t cut the connection
Bleed in to black clouds
And I will lick them clean
Turn to a tourniquet
And cinch yourself to me
Strike down now, shake their frail beliefs
And make them new born believers
300,000 amps
And I’m your warm receiver
When they kill the lights
You’ll remain my conductor
And if they didn’t drain your life
I’ll become your conductor
When they kill the lights
You’ll remain my conductor
You’ll remain my conductor
You’ll remain my conductor
Today I felt the drain
I’ll climb back up to you
On ladders of the rain
Break them down, shake up their beliefs
I’ll show them, show them a believer
300,000 amps
And I’m your warm receiver
When they kill the lights
You’ll remain my conductor
And if they didn’t drain your life
I’ll become your conductor
Don’t cut the connection
Bleed in to black clouds
And I will lick them clean
Turn to a tourniquet
And cinch yourself to me
Strike down now, shake their frail beliefs
And make them new born believers
300,000 amps
And I’m your warm receiver
When they kill the lights
You’ll remain my conductor
And if they didn’t drain your life
I’ll become your conductor
When they kill the lights
You’ll remain my conductor
You’ll remain my conductor
You’ll remain my conductor
Heart Stops lyrics - AFI
Oh, my pretty precious stone
Just left me in ribbons
With my heart sliced carefully
You wear it like a cheerful bow
There's a light that you now adore
But the bringer is cast down
I have never been before
So unhappy in my whole life
Heart stops beating, beat like a brutal day
You were my first faith, made of lies like all the others
Heart stops beating, beat like a brutal day
I found my last light but it died like all the others (all the others)
Oh, my painful fatal flaw
May your cruelty find you
May the scars you left in me
Dig into you twice as deep
Heart stops beating, beat like a brutal day
You were my first faith, made of lies like all the others
Heart stops beating, beat like a brutal day
I found my last light but it died like all the others
I know you'll look away while I'm crying
I know you'll wear that bow with a smile
Everything I gave you, it was wasted
Love further down, adore that denial
I stopped feeling numb, now I have to be
Because I trusted you I cannot trust another
Heart stops beating, what was brutality?
You were my last light so I'll die like all the others
Heart stops beating, beat like a brutal day
You were my first faith, made of lies like all the others, all the others
Just left me in ribbons
With my heart sliced carefully
You wear it like a cheerful bow
There's a light that you now adore
But the bringer is cast down
I have never been before
So unhappy in my whole life
Heart stops beating, beat like a brutal day
You were my first faith, made of lies like all the others
Heart stops beating, beat like a brutal day
I found my last light but it died like all the others (all the others)
Oh, my painful fatal flaw
May your cruelty find you
May the scars you left in me
Dig into you twice as deep
Heart stops beating, beat like a brutal day
You were my first faith, made of lies like all the others
Heart stops beating, beat like a brutal day
I found my last light but it died like all the others
I know you'll look away while I'm crying
I know you'll wear that bow with a smile
Everything I gave you, it was wasted
Love further down, adore that denial
I stopped feeling numb, now I have to be
Because I trusted you I cannot trust another
Heart stops beating, what was brutality?
You were my last light so I'll die like all the others
Heart stops beating, beat like a brutal day
You were my first faith, made of lies like all the others, all the others
Rewind lyrics - AFI
Lie awake, keep your cold eyes closed
Feel it crawl upon your chest
Bear it's teeth and steal your breath
Stay awake as its creeping close
If you're brave enough you'll see
As it stares it looks a lot like me
It looks like me
Though there's no way I will materialize
Let the ghost that meets your eyes still haunt you, remind you
There's no way to apologize
Your selfish words must float denied like your crime
I float now. We rewind
Draw a line that cannot be crossed
Make a circle out of salt
Knowing it was all your fault
Hide inside, call your doting dogs
As their weak servility
Feeds your emptiness, remember me
In solitude you will sense me
Though there's no way I will materialize
Let the ghost that meets your eyes still haunt you, remind you
There's no way to apologize
Your selfish words must float denied like your crime
I float now. We rewind
Forever feel it as it's gnawing
Forever crawling, ever crawling
Never caring always smiling
Here to feed when you are falling
There's no way I will materialize
Let the ghost that meets your eyes still haunt you, remind you
There's no way, you can't apologize
Your selfish words must float denied like your crime
I float now. We rewind
We rewind
I float now, forever
You did this. We rewind
Feel it crawl upon your chest
Bear it's teeth and steal your breath
Stay awake as its creeping close
If you're brave enough you'll see
As it stares it looks a lot like me
It looks like me
Though there's no way I will materialize
Let the ghost that meets your eyes still haunt you, remind you
There's no way to apologize
Your selfish words must float denied like your crime
I float now. We rewind
Draw a line that cannot be crossed
Make a circle out of salt
Knowing it was all your fault
Hide inside, call your doting dogs
As their weak servility
Feeds your emptiness, remember me
In solitude you will sense me
Though there's no way I will materialize
Let the ghost that meets your eyes still haunt you, remind you
There's no way to apologize
Your selfish words must float denied like your crime
I float now. We rewind
Forever feel it as it's gnawing
Forever crawling, ever crawling
Never caring always smiling
Here to feed when you are falling
There's no way I will materialize
Let the ghost that meets your eyes still haunt you, remind you
There's no way, you can't apologize
Your selfish words must float denied like your crime
I float now. We rewind
We rewind
I float now, forever
You did this. We rewind
The Embrace lyrics - AFI
Watching it crumble
Might have eased the hurt
Feeling it disappear
Only made worse
Pulling it piece by piece
Slicing up ribbons could dismiss
To slowly disintegrate
Could have been the perfect gift
May you feel this, while you sleep
Push the poisonous thorns in you
May you feel this while you wake
Bear your poisonous thorns
Walk into traffic
Running with open knives
Searching for mercy here
That I'm too weak to find
To take my deepest breath
I walk into the raging sea
To drown out this emptiness
It's all you have left for me
May you feel this, while you sleep
Push the poisonous thorns in you
May you feel this while you wake
Bear your poisonous thorns
I hope you feel this
I hope that you can feel this
As it's fading the darkness shifts (the darkness shifts)
This may be the perfect gift
May you feel this, while you sleep
Push the poisonous thorns in you
May you feel this while you wake
Bear your poisonous thorns
May you feel this, may you feel this while you wake
May you feel this, may you feel this while you wake
Might have eased the hurt
Feeling it disappear
Only made worse
Pulling it piece by piece
Slicing up ribbons could dismiss
To slowly disintegrate
Could have been the perfect gift
May you feel this, while you sleep
Push the poisonous thorns in you
May you feel this while you wake
Bear your poisonous thorns
Walk into traffic
Running with open knives
Searching for mercy here
That I'm too weak to find
To take my deepest breath
I walk into the raging sea
To drown out this emptiness
It's all you have left for me
May you feel this, while you sleep
Push the poisonous thorns in you
May you feel this while you wake
Bear your poisonous thorns
I hope you feel this
I hope that you can feel this
As it's fading the darkness shifts (the darkness shifts)
This may be the perfect gift
May you feel this, while you sleep
Push the poisonous thorns in you
May you feel this while you wake
Bear your poisonous thorns
May you feel this, may you feel this while you wake
May you feel this, may you feel this while you wake
Wild lyrics - AFI
Every one of my words, not worth believing
Every promise I kept, kept you deceiving
Gave golden years that you erased. I split my heart and watched you take
Every drop of my soul and leave me bleeding
Yeah, you taught me this
True love wont' be remembered
My regret will last forever
Because I thought you'd never
Yeah, you brought me here
I was painfully true you were pretending
You told me this was heaven then you ascended
I gave you life, now pray for death, breathed into you, you stole my breath
You told me right from the start, we started ending
I believed in you
True love wont' be remembered
My regret will last forever
Because I thought you'd never
Yeah, you brought me here
Now I'm singing ashamed
That all my words are the same
Because I'm singing
Betrayed
Now I'm singing ashamed
That all my words are the same
Because I'm singing
Betrayed
Yeah, you brought me here
True love wont' be remembered
My regret will last forever
True love wont' be remembered
My regret will last forever
Because I thought you'd never
Every promise I kept, kept you deceiving
Gave golden years that you erased. I split my heart and watched you take
Every drop of my soul and leave me bleeding
Yeah, you taught me this
True love wont' be remembered
My regret will last forever
Because I thought you'd never
Yeah, you brought me here
I was painfully true you were pretending
You told me this was heaven then you ascended
I gave you life, now pray for death, breathed into you, you stole my breath
You told me right from the start, we started ending
I believed in you
True love wont' be remembered
My regret will last forever
Because I thought you'd never
Yeah, you brought me here
Now I'm singing ashamed
That all my words are the same
Because I'm singing
Betrayed
Now I'm singing ashamed
That all my words are the same
Because I'm singing
Betrayed
Yeah, you brought me here
True love wont' be remembered
My regret will last forever
True love wont' be remembered
My regret will last forever
Because I thought you'd never
Greater Than 84 lyrics - AFI
There's an open sky and an empty city
Where the rain falls of the night.
Upon precious flames, we once found so pretty
Our frail and only light.
Love is all that's left,
And I'm emotionless.
You won't read it in the papers
In this time.
Keep your hands clean
Just read my mind.
We're trapped between the nightmares,
And I fear
The future's here it's 1985,
It's 1985.
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
Oh...
All the emptiness overfills this city
So you'll be queen tonight.
As you overthrow looking pale and pretty
I welcome your requite.
They told us love can save,
So we prepared our graves.
You won't read it in the papers
In this time.
Keep your hands clean
Just read my mind.
We're trapped between the nightmares
And I fear
The future's here it's 1985,
It's 1985.
Can you read my mind?
Will you hold my hand as we count the hours?
The hours?
Will you hold my hand as we count down the hours?
The hours?
Standing beneath the meteor showers.
Oh!
You won't read it in the papers
In this time.
Keep your hands clean
Just read my mind.
We're trapped between the nightmares,
And I fear
The future's here it's 1985,
It's 1985.
Can you read my mind?
Where the rain falls of the night.
Upon precious flames, we once found so pretty
Our frail and only light.
Love is all that's left,
And I'm emotionless.
You won't read it in the papers
In this time.
Keep your hands clean
Just read my mind.
We're trapped between the nightmares,
And I fear
The future's here it's 1985,
It's 1985.
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
Oh...
All the emptiness overfills this city
So you'll be queen tonight.
As you overthrow looking pale and pretty
I welcome your requite.
They told us love can save,
So we prepared our graves.
You won't read it in the papers
In this time.
Keep your hands clean
Just read my mind.
We're trapped between the nightmares
And I fear
The future's here it's 1985,
It's 1985.
Can you read my mind?
Will you hold my hand as we count the hours?
The hours?
Will you hold my hand as we count down the hours?
The hours?
Standing beneath the meteor showers.
Oh!
You won't read it in the papers
In this time.
Keep your hands clean
Just read my mind.
We're trapped between the nightmares,
And I fear
The future's here it's 1985,
It's 1985.
Can you read my mind?
Anxious lyrics - AFI
Tear into silence, my ears begin to ring
Begin to ring in the new sound anxiously
Oh, I am anxious and aching, breathing the burning air
Caring for something that is not there
Knowing what's fated, begin my fatal flight
Flying obscenely into the light
But the light will evade me to bring down punishment
Punishing soundly it lets me live
Swing the serenade (I heard it swing)
Swing love down and find the saddest song
I heard you swing the promises (You'll watch me swing now)
Swing love now and choke what we've become
Black without blindness, my eyes begin to sting
As my lips part to poison, sweet poisoning
Oh god, I feel like I'm dying. I've found death finally
And it feels like heaven, I'll never reach
Swing the serenade (I heard it swing)
Swing love down and find the saddest song
I heard you swing the promises (You'll watch me swing now)
Swing love now and choke what we've become
Swinging now, will you watch me?
Swinging now, will you watch me?
Turn it down. Drown it slowly
Is it off? I'm still listening
Swinging now, will you watch me?
Swinging now, will you watch me?
Turn it down. Drown it slowly
Is it off? I'm still listening
Swing the serenade (I heard it swing)
Swing love down and find the saddest song
I heard you swing the promises (You'll watch me swing now)
Swing love now and choke what we've become
(I'll bite your lips though I know better than this)
(This is a death I cant resist)
Begin to ring in the new sound anxiously
Oh, I am anxious and aching, breathing the burning air
Caring for something that is not there
Knowing what's fated, begin my fatal flight
Flying obscenely into the light
But the light will evade me to bring down punishment
Punishing soundly it lets me live
Swing the serenade (I heard it swing)
Swing love down and find the saddest song
I heard you swing the promises (You'll watch me swing now)
Swing love now and choke what we've become
Black without blindness, my eyes begin to sting
As my lips part to poison, sweet poisoning
Oh god, I feel like I'm dying. I've found death finally
And it feels like heaven, I'll never reach
Swing the serenade (I heard it swing)
Swing love down and find the saddest song
I heard you swing the promises (You'll watch me swing now)
Swing love now and choke what we've become
Swinging now, will you watch me?
Swinging now, will you watch me?
Turn it down. Drown it slowly
Is it off? I'm still listening
Swinging now, will you watch me?
Swinging now, will you watch me?
Turn it down. Drown it slowly
Is it off? I'm still listening
Swing the serenade (I heard it swing)
Swing love down and find the saddest song
I heard you swing the promises (You'll watch me swing now)
Swing love now and choke what we've become
(I'll bite your lips though I know better than this)
(This is a death I cant resist)
The Face Beneath The Waves lyrics - AFI
Someone said they saw me fall apart
Part of me collected and destroyed
Tell me what it's like to hold a heart
When it shatters
Someone said that they ran into her
Asked if there was any word of me
And she swore that everything we were
Never mattered
(There is a face beneath the waves)
I will return again
I will return to you
I will return again
I am part of you
I am
Are you somewhere listening to me?
Have these whispers finally found the cracks?
White walls won't forever keep these screams
They will shatter
Secretly, you know that I'm still here
While you're being held you're so alone
For you killed the only one who cared
Let it shatter.
(There is a voice within the walls)
I will return again
I will return to you
I will return again
I am part of you
I am
What do you do
When my soul invites you?
Oh, you'll see me again
You know this will never end
What do you do
When your heart reminds you?
Oh, you'll put me to death
But I will return again
I will return again
I will return to you
I will return again
I am part of you
I will be with you again, with you again
I am
Part of me collected and destroyed
Tell me what it's like to hold a heart
When it shatters
Someone said that they ran into her
Asked if there was any word of me
And she swore that everything we were
Never mattered
(There is a face beneath the waves)
I will return again
I will return to you
I will return again
I am part of you
I am
Are you somewhere listening to me?
Have these whispers finally found the cracks?
White walls won't forever keep these screams
They will shatter
Secretly, you know that I'm still here
While you're being held you're so alone
For you killed the only one who cared
Let it shatter.
(There is a voice within the walls)
I will return again
I will return to you
I will return again
I am part of you
I am
What do you do
When my soul invites you?
Oh, you'll see me again
You know this will never end
What do you do
When your heart reminds you?
Oh, you'll put me to death
But I will return again
I will return again
I will return to you
I will return again
I am part of you
I will be with you again, with you again
I am
Carcinogen Crush lyrics - AFI
Speechless
Read the words between your lines
In isolation
Silence separates of what design?
I heard you speak
Words I know you didn't write
But I believe you, believe them
'Cause you spoke them again in my dreams last night
I swear to you I'm not the one
I swear so I'll become
Your only desire
Take a bow
You've performed exquisitely
Though the millions scream
I know you'll see
Each subtlety's understood by me
I
I would be as devout
As the high school sweetheart
That I never had, I s-s-s-s-s-s-swear!
I swear to you I'm not the one
I swear so I'll become
Your only
So if you are confined to me
I swear that you will be
So lonely (dreaming)
Your airs of grace, your airs of grace will fill me
Your airs of grace, your airs of grace will fill me
Your airs of grace, your airs of grace will fill me
Your airs of grace, your airs of grace just killed me
Oh!
I swear to you, I'm not the one
I swear so I'll become
Your only
So if you are confined to me
I swear you will be
So lonely (dream-like)
Dream-like
Dream-like
Read the words between your lines
In isolation
Silence separates of what design?
I heard you speak
Words I know you didn't write
But I believe you, believe them
'Cause you spoke them again in my dreams last night
I swear to you I'm not the one
I swear so I'll become
Your only desire
Take a bow
You've performed exquisitely
Though the millions scream
I know you'll see
Each subtlety's understood by me
I
I would be as devout
As the high school sweetheart
That I never had, I s-s-s-s-s-s-swear!
I swear to you I'm not the one
I swear so I'll become
Your only
So if you are confined to me
I swear that you will be
So lonely (dreaming)
Your airs of grace, your airs of grace will fill me
Your airs of grace, your airs of grace will fill me
Your airs of grace, your airs of grace will fill me
Your airs of grace, your airs of grace just killed me
Oh!
I swear to you, I'm not the one
I swear so I'll become
Your only
So if you are confined to me
I swear you will be
So lonely (dream-like)
Dream-like
Dream-like
Fallen Like The Sky lyrics - AFI
Flee today with me and we can hide
Until they want you
Where the strange creatures play
Mystic games of strength. Disassociate.
Seal my fate, seal my, seal your
Until they eat their own young
This is a lonely war tonight and I'm forsaken
Are you a lonely one, too? OH
This is a lonely war tonight, with soldiers breaking
They were the lonely once too.
Leave your stain and laugh. My wounds innate.
Leave like they all do.
We the strange creatures play
Endless games of hate, we the reprobate
Seal our fate, seal our, seal your
Till we eat our own young
This is a lonely war tonight and I'm forsaken
Are you a lonely one, too? OH
This is a lonely war tonight, with soldiers breaking
They were the lonely once, too
This is a lonely war tonight and I'm forsaken
Are you a lonely one, too? OH
This is a lonely war tonight, with soldiers breaking
They were the lonely ones, too
This is a lonely war tonight and I'm forsaken
Are you a lonely one, too?
Are you a lonely one, too? with soldiers breaking
Are you a lonely one, too?
Until they want you
Where the strange creatures play
Mystic games of strength. Disassociate.
Seal my fate, seal my, seal your
Until they eat their own young
This is a lonely war tonight and I'm forsaken
Are you a lonely one, too? OH
This is a lonely war tonight, with soldiers breaking
They were the lonely once too.
Leave your stain and laugh. My wounds innate.
Leave like they all do.
We the strange creatures play
Endless games of hate, we the reprobate
Seal our fate, seal our, seal your
Till we eat our own young
This is a lonely war tonight and I'm forsaken
Are you a lonely one, too? OH
This is a lonely war tonight, with soldiers breaking
They were the lonely once, too
This is a lonely war tonight and I'm forsaken
Are you a lonely one, too? OH
This is a lonely war tonight, with soldiers breaking
They were the lonely ones, too
This is a lonely war tonight and I'm forsaken
Are you a lonely one, too?
Are you a lonely one, too? with soldiers breaking
Are you a lonely one, too?
The View From Here lyrics - AFI
So softly spoke the sky, tonight the city dies
(You'll be safe alone)
And then he did confide, black flowers blooming lies
(You'll be safe alone)
So softly I returned, a bow for all I've learned
(You'll be safe alone)
I hung myself up high, where I watched it burn
I'm still alone
I'm still alone
(You'll be safe alone)
I'm still alone
I know, this is, what you wanted
I'd go, just go away
I know, your heart, is my haunted
This ghost will fade away
(So softly spoke the sky, tonight the city dies)
I'm still alone
I'm still alone
(You'll be safe alone)
I'm still alone
(You'll be safe alone)
And then he did confide, black flowers blooming lies
(You'll be safe alone)
So softly I returned, a bow for all I've learned
(You'll be safe alone)
I hung myself up high, where I watched it burn
I'm still alone
I'm still alone
(You'll be safe alone)
I'm still alone
I know, this is, what you wanted
I'd go, just go away
I know, your heart, is my haunted
This ghost will fade away
(So softly spoke the sky, tonight the city dies)
I'm still alone
I'm still alone
(You'll be safe alone)
I'm still alone

Oh
I saw you. Angels came to light your path.
I heard you keep their wings pressed under glass.
Now am I so enthralled that I might die?
I saw you, sweetly smile, and say "do try".
(anything)
I'd tear out my eyes for you, my dear
(anything)
To see everything that you do.
I saw you so bereft so pale and weak
When I looked through
You and I declined to speak.
I won't say
(anything)
I'd tear out my eyes for you, my dear
(anything)
To see everything that you do. I'd do
(anything)
I'll tear out my soul for you, my dear. oh my dear

To feel everything as you do. I do
Anything

Leave me to grieve that nothing's lost. nothing's lost

Beautiful Thieves - afi lyrics
My dear there is no danger
Can't you see they turn blind eyes
To we swift and spotlight strangers?
Oh before the rush is over
We will be revered again
While the victims still recover
Oh!
If we run this light
Take a little life
No one will care at all
Oh!
We can burn it and leave
For we are the beautiful Thieves
No one suspects at all
No one suspects
Ah
Oh,
Are we running toward death?
I have met him times before
He adores us like the rest
Oh even if we're discovered
Just be sure to wear your best
We will surely make the covers
Oh!
If we run this light
Take a little life
No one will care at all
Oh!
We can burn it and leave
For we are the beautiful thieves
No one suspects at all
No one suspects
Who would run for cover?
Who would run from us?
Who would run for cover?
Who would run from us?
Oh!
If we run this light
Take a little life
No one will care at all
Oh!
We can burn it and leave
For we are the beautiful thieves
No one suspects at all
No one suspects at all
If we run this light
Take a little life
No one will care at all
Oh!
We can burn it and leave
For we are the beautiful thieves
No one suspects at all
No one suspects
Can't you see they turn blind eyes
To we swift and spotlight strangers?

No one suspects at all
No one suspects
Who would run for cover?
Who would run from us?
Who would run for cover?
Who would run from us?
Oh!
If we run this light
Take a little life
No one will care at all
Oh!
We can burn it and leave
For we are the beautiful thieves
No one suspects at all
No one suspects at all
If we run this light
Take a little life
No one will care at all
Oh!
We can burn it and leave
For we are the beautiful thieves
No one suspects at all
No one suspects
End Transmission - afi lyrics
Pull the top down, use your knees to drive.
I'll make it worth your while just let me taste the sky.
You pressed your mouth on mine and fed me a star
then said "we never can truly know who we are."
know who we are.
With the lights out and the night inside
the broken radio was playing suicide.
I felt myself falling.
I confessed to you "I saw a body."
You said you'd seen a few.
This night has only just begun.
If there's discretion that you've not abandoned now's the time.
We'll burn to best the morning's son.
Go grab your bag I'll bring the gun, the gun.
Keep the top down use your knees to drive.
I'll hide these words. They're only yours to find.
You pressed your mouth on mine and said they'd call us stars.
You said "we never can truly know who we are."
This night has only just begun.
If there's discretion that you've not abandoned now's the time.
We'll burn to best the morning's son.
Go grab your bag I'll bring the gun, the gun.
Everything was burning bright.
Everyone was frightened.
You said stay strong.
Everybody knowing that what we'd invited
still remains when we're gone.
This night has only just begun.
If there's discretion that you've not abandoned now's the time.
We'll burn to best the morning's son.
Go grab your bag I'll bring the gun, oh.
This night has only just begun.
If there's discretion that you've not abandoned now's the time.
We'll burn to best the morning's son.
Go grab your bag I'll bring the gun, the gun.
I'll bring the gun

Too Shy To Scream - afi lyrics
I come quietly. Silent entities
can lack a certain weight when unseen.
Do they speak of me?
My voice left with the breeze that
whispered "you should flee or you shall be seen."
I'd die
if you only met my eyes.
Before you pass by,
will you pause to break my heart.
I am everywhere, everywhere but here,
for here is where you grace the nameless.
Were I not so weak, could I even speak
I'd warn that you should leave before
you're seen with me.
They don't hear me.
Do I bore them when I tell them
I adore them?
can lack a certain weight when unseen.
Do they speak of me?
My voice left with the breeze that
whispered "you should flee or you shall be seen."
I'd die
if you only met my eyes.
Before you pass by,
will you pause to break my heart.
I am everywhere, everywhere but here,
for here is where you grace the nameless.
Were I not so weak, could I even speak
I'd warn that you should leave before
you're seen with me.
They don't hear me.
Do I bore them when I tell them
I adore them?
Veronica Sawyer Smokes - afi lyrics
Oh my story is not the oldest of it's kind.
I was too touched to see you clearly,
far too young to realize I had loved so dearly you,
who's world I had designed,
but the sweet smoke came with mirrors
and it brought tears to my wide eyes.
Dying just to see you...
dying since I misconstrued your blue heart,
black eyes, feigning falling, words I won't forget.
I died right when I saw you while you shared that cigarette.
Oh I saw you every time I closed my eyes,
in the Hughes film I had scored,
produced and starred in, in my mind.
I could recite you, well, I'd written every line...
but you strayed far from my flawless script
on which I'd spent a lifetime!
Falling over dead.
Dying since I had misread your blue heart,
black eyes, feigning falling, words I won't forget.
I died right when I saw you while you shared that cigarette.
I was too touched to see you clearly,
far too young to realize I had loved so dearly you,
who's world I had designed,
but the sweet smoke came with mirrors
and it brought tears to my wide eyes.
Dying just to see you...
dying since I misconstrued your blue heart,
black eyes, feigning falling, words I won't forget.
I died right when I saw you while you shared that cigarette.
Oh I saw you every time I closed my eyes,
in the Hughes film I had scored,
produced and starred in, in my mind.
I could recite you, well, I'd written every line...
but you strayed far from my flawless script
on which I'd spent a lifetime!
Falling over dead.
Dying since I had misread your blue heart,
black eyes, feigning falling, words I won't forget.
I died right when I saw you while you shared that cigarette.
OK, I Feel Better Now - afi lyrics
There is nothing to me.
There is nothing though there was a time
I had felt elation before all sensation died.
I cannot breathe.
I can't deny that I've been feigning,
for you, every vital sign defied.
This means nothing to me.
This means nothing so spare me the lies.
I deny you sympathy just as I have been denied.
I cannot breathe.
I can't deny that I've been faking,
for you, every sign of life.
I died for the last lie,
and the heartbreak for the first time,
I could not take til I made you cry.
This is what you taught me.
This is what you taught - and I learned well -
to recognize that feeling easily can be dispelled.
Show your wounds I'm bored with mine.
Nothing is new.
Don't despair I rarely cry.
Oh my dear please dry your eyes.
Who could harm you?
To hurt you is to be despised, as I'd love to.
There is nothing though there was a time
I had felt elation before all sensation died.
I cannot breathe.
I can't deny that I've been feigning,
for you, every vital sign defied.
This means nothing to me.
This means nothing so spare me the lies.
I deny you sympathy just as I have been denied.
I cannot breathe.
I can't deny that I've been faking,
for you, every sign of life.
I died for the last lie,
and the heartbreak for the first time,
I could not take til I made you cry.
This is what you taught me.
This is what you taught - and I learned well -
to recognize that feeling easily can be dispelled.
Show your wounds I'm bored with mine.
Nothing is new.
Don't despair I rarely cry.
Oh my dear please dry your eyes.
Who could harm you?
To hurt you is to be despised, as I'd love to.
Medicate - afi lyrics
Oh!
Could I, could I just find a way?
I'd find you everyday and we could alter time.
But I've come to find everyone's gone away.
So this may be the time for the perfect crime.
Yes, this is perfect.
(This is) our medicine. (This is) our time to...
Medicate here with me.
Now as we lose ourselves in this and ignore
that you don't even know my name. Medicate.
Come day, you'll say you cannot stay.
What's more, I'll feel the same. It happens every time.
So I've come to find everyone goes away. I'm destined to remain.
You were never mine, so you were perfect.
(This is) our medicine. (This is) our time to...
Medicate here with me.
Now as we lose ourselves in this and ignore
that you don't even know my name.
Medicate here with me.
Now as we lose ourselves in us and ignore
that you don't even know my name. Medicate.
Can you describe what it's like? I feel nothing.
Can you feel this? Does it sting?
I feel nothing at all.
I feel nothing at all.
I feel nothing at all.
(Can you tell me how it feels?)
I feel nothing at all.
(Can we pretend this is real?)
I feel nothing.
Medicate here with me.
Now as we lose ourselves in this and ignore
that you don't even know my name.
Medicate here with me.
Now as we lose ourselves in us and ignore
that you don't even know my name.
Medicate here with me.
Now as we lose ourselves in us and ignore
that you don't even know my name.
Oh!
You don't even know my name.
You don't even know my name.
Oh! Medicate.
Could I, could I just find a way?
I'd find you everyday and we could alter time.
But I've come to find everyone's gone away.
So this may be the time for the perfect crime.
Yes, this is perfect.
(This is) our medicine. (This is) our time to...

I Am Trying Very Hard To Be Here - afi lyrics
Before you came what was your name? Did you look like me?
No one's from here, no one my dear, not even the trees.
So change your name, just keep your face. We're temporary anyway.
Before you came we played this game in our masquerade.
Flash, Flash, Car Crash
we're no fixtures.
Quick, now, Quick take our picture!
What was your past?
When was the last time that you recall someone you knew
was someone who asked nothing of you?
So lose your past. I'm sure you'll find it's in the way all the time.
Before you're through you're someone who looks a lot like you.
We can't remember the seasons
We chant in the manmade snow.
We can't recall the feelings that we cannot show
No one's from here, no one my dear, not even the trees.
So change your name, just keep your face. We're temporary anyway.
Before you came we played this game in our masquerade.
Flash, Flash, Car Crash
we're no fixtures.
Quick, now, Quick take our picture!
What was your past?
When was the last time that you recall someone you knew
was someone who asked nothing of you?
So lose your past. I'm sure you'll find it's in the way all the time.
Before you're through you're someone who looks a lot like you.

We chant in the manmade snow.
We can't recall the feelings that we cannot show
Sacrilege - afi lyrics
I'm never gonna understand this.
I'm never gonna let it be.
I just can't understand this aged plan. It's obsolete.
How could you recognize and cherish hysteric fairy tales.
They've come to life. Now sit by and listen...
the whole world wails.
I feel as though I've been abducted,
or maybe I am just misplaced,
As I watch these rash hysterics lay to waste the human race.
Just ask them if the sky will open and save us from the truth.
They say that they'd leave today
just without, without you.
Is this one big joke?
I can only hope.
Say your prayers, they're the final punchline.
I don't see the love
below or above.
I see you're scared well
I feel fine.
Oh please believe I'm doing just fine.
For what's deceased I shall never grieve.
Just let your faith die.
I feel I have been abandoned.
I alone seem to see disgrace
as I watch these mad dogmatics govern our entire race.
Don't tell them you can walk on water or they may drink your blood.
Why live for pain, in the name
the name of, name of love?
I can only hope
this is in one big joke
with your prayers as the final punch line.
How is it divine
when it's flawed design?
Fill the cracks with faith I can't find.
Screaming for pure love
you venerate
delusion based in hate
Bleeding from pure love
for this I pray:
We've got to shake the faith
I'm never gonna let it be.
I just can't understand this aged plan. It's obsolete.
How could you recognize and cherish hysteric fairy tales.
They've come to life. Now sit by and listen...
the whole world wails.
I feel as though I've been abducted,
or maybe I am just misplaced,
As I watch these rash hysterics lay to waste the human race.
Just ask them if the sky will open and save us from the truth.

Darling, I Want To Destroy You - afi lyrics
Were you dying to go? You just looked so exposed,
demure through the dark dancing lights.
I glided by.
I can't deny that the shadows betrayed you and I on that night.
Oh, I must confess I am overdressed.
Are you not impressed?
Darling I want to.
I'll confess this too, must you know the truth,
this is all for you.
Darling I want to destroy you.
As you reached for my hand
did you then understand?
It was I who would lead you that night.
When you begged to know I was glad to show
that I needn't be scared,
either way I still bight.
Oh, I must confess I am overdressed.
Are you not impressed?
Darling I want to.
I'll confess this too, must you know the truth,
this is all for you.
Darling I want to...
So here's the final scene when I finally come clean.
I've watched you for years.
And here's my favorite part, where you beg for my heart
and I disappear.
Oh, I must confess I am overdressed.
Are you not impressed?
Darling I want to.
I'll confess this too, must you know the truth,
this is all for you.
Darling I want to
Darling I want to destroy you.
demure through the dark dancing lights.
I glided by.
I can't deny that the shadows betrayed you and I on that night.
Oh, I must confess I am overdressed.
Are you not impressed?
Darling I want to.
I'll confess this too, must you know the truth,

Darling I want to destroy you.
As you reached for my hand

It was I who would lead you that night.
When you begged to know I was glad to show

Cold Hands - afi lyrics
How I regret what I must do but you've left me no choice.
Though I still strain I can't recall the beauty of your fey voice.
Now that I've heard come through the walls a song I've heard many times
I must return all you gave me in the company of swine.
We had found sacred ground you burnt down.
I thought you sang so tastefully but now I see I was wrong.
Your serenade turns to filth when I leave so, please, cut the love song.
How I regret what I must do but you must be replaced
for I cannot go on suffering such simple and common tastes.
When you met my eyes you sang to me of passion, pain and will.
When I blinked you turned away to kiss the hand of filth.
You had found sacred ground I'll burn down
Tell me who will hear your voice, your song,
when the smoke has cleared and the lights are gone?
Tell me, who appears when I'm gone.
Though I still strain I can't recall the beauty of your fey voice.
Now that I've heard come through the walls a song I've heard many times
I must return all you gave me in the company of swine.
We had found sacred ground you burnt down.
I thought you sang so tastefully but now I see I was wrong.
Your serenade turns to filth when I leave so, please, cut the love song.
How I regret what I must do but you must be replaced
for I cannot go on suffering such simple and common tastes.
When you met my eyes you sang to me of passion, pain and will.
When I blinked you turned away to kiss the hand of filth.
You had found sacred ground I'll burn down
Tell me who will hear your voice, your song,
when the smoke has cleared and the lights are gone?
Tell me, who appears when I'm gone.
It Was Mine - afi lyrics
Don't move
Don't do anything
What we captured got away,
slipped from us
Don't speak, don't
don't say anything,
they've been recording all we say
for years now.
You won't see them right away
but you'll hear them singing.
Hold me closely now but don't,
don't say anything.
They've come to take me away
and won't leave until I'm gone
Don't feel
Don't love anything
Love attracts all those who taint, the cherished.
Don't try to
to change anything
Nothing pure can every stay
They'll say
relax, you'll be fine.
All we love goes away
They'll take
all you let them find..
it was mine.
Don't do anything
What we captured got away,
slipped from us
Don't speak, don't
don't say anything,
they've been recording all we say
for years now.
You won't see them right away
but you'll hear them singing.
Hold me closely now but don't,
don't say anything.
They've come to take me away
and won't leave until I'm gone
Don't feel
Don't love anything
Love attracts all those who taint, the cherished.
Don't try to
to change anything
Nothing pure can every stay
They'll say
relax, you'll be fine.
All we love goes away
They'll take
all you let them find..
it was mine.
Fainting Spells - afi lyrics
Give me this before
I slip,
before I sink,
because I think
I may have found
the short way down
Just give me something
Somethings cold and clear
the love spent here,
as I had feared,
means nothing dear.
I pray to reason Il forget
Ill trade whats left
Im the devout,
praying just to
get the blood out,
bound by this flesh I own
Im the devout,
cutting just to
get the blood out
Desecrate til we die alone
I will defy
the pulse disguise
but please pretend
were still alive
if it gives you hope
I sung and drowned,
Im taking the short way down
Just give me something
Im the devout,
praying just to
get the blood out,
bound by this flesh I own
Im the devout,
cutting just to
get the blood out.
Desecrate til we die alone
Give me something I can take
to make the memories fade,
Poison kiss, remember this,
I was never meant for this day
Just give me something
Im the devout,
praying just to
get the blood out,
bound by this flesh I own
Im the devout,
cutting just to
get the blood out.
Desecrate til we die alone
Just give me something
Im the devout,
praying just to
get the blood out,
bound by this flesh I own
Im the devout,
cutting just to
get the blood out.
Desecrate til we die alone
we die alone
we die alone
I slip,
before I sink,
because I think
I may have found
the short way down
Just give me something
Somethings cold and clear
the love spent here,

We've Got The Knife - afi lyrics
You've got your pretty face.
You've got disarming eyes.
You've got such social grace.
I've got my pretty spies.
I found you lost, misplaced.
I loved that lovely guise.
I said Id try my luck and you said, well you dont you dont have to try.
I forgot that night, what you said that night: I had the most exquisite time.
Well you got that right, but its not the whole story.
I want it all. I court the loveliest of crimes.
Say it, as if it were true.
We've got the knife you left behind.
Play it just like you do.
I wanna hear you mean it, when you say Im not next in line.
I court the loveliest of crimes.
Save it cuz weve got the knife.
You've got your pretty face.
You've got your stunning glow.
You've got exquisite taste.
I've got the marks to show.
You said youd shoot the stars but bullets make you blush.
Turns out, you liked to play.
Play with knives and I hear that it gives you a rush.
Well weve got the knife, yeah weve got the knife.
I've got the knife you left behind. Well weve got the knife.
Now I want the whole story. I thought you looked familiar.
I'd seen your face long before that night.
Now I wait, for you were no stranger.
No stranger to taking a life.
You've got disarming eyes.
You've got such social grace.
I've got my pretty spies.
I found you lost, misplaced.
I loved that lovely guise.
I said Id try my luck and you said, well you dont you dont have to try.

Where We Used To Play - afi lyrics
I might seem a bit peculiar
A bit not right
for though I try, I remain a stranger - not of this time.
I swear I'm almost there
though I've been wandering for days.
I may be chasing ghost trains hoping they'll arrive
where we used to play.
I may be hopping ghost trains for they terminate
where we used to play in those days.
I know I'm with strangers I recognize and I realize my own disowned me. Were never mind.
I swear I'm almost there.
This is right where we used to play.
I may be chasing ghost trains hoping they'll arrive
where we used to play.
I may be hopping ghost trains for they terminate
where we used to play in those days.
I never will let it go until I find the place I called mine.
I never was truly meant for this time.
A bit not right
for though I try, I remain a stranger - not of this time.
I swear I'm almost there
though I've been wandering for days.
I may be chasing ghost trains hoping they'll arrive
where we used to play.
I may be hopping ghost trains for they terminate
where we used to play in those days.
I know I'm with strangers I recognize and I realize my own disowned me. Were never mind.
I swear I'm almost there.
This is right where we used to play.
I may be chasing ghost trains hoping they'll arrive
where we used to play.
I may be hopping ghost trains for they terminate
where we used to play in those days.
I never will let it go until I find the place I called mine.
I never was truly meant for this time.
100 Words - afi lyrics
This is the final night, boys.
We are the cracks in diamond walls.
I tried to illuminate but the shadows kill.
I'm overshadowed. See how I blend in with nothing?
Now beautiful boys, let's destroy.
We'll shine as the lucite breaks and falls.
Raise the new glitter god with the golden tears - the tears that swallow.
A smile that's touched so warms nothing.
Yesterday I burnt the sky, looked to the ground and wrapped it around me.
Still today I have so much to burn.
Yesterday I longed to die, fell to the ground, and the ground caught me.
Now today I question why I fell.
Deities fell to decoys, tainting what's pure.
Let's cleanse them all.
Infinite life reclaimed, as the shadows kill they are overshadowed.
Well burn as they fade into nothing.
So what can help me to understand, somehow, why it always pains me to breathe?
We're no longer confined because yesterday I burnt the sky.
We are the cracks in diamond walls.
I tried to illuminate but the shadows kill.
I'm overshadowed. See how I blend in with nothing?
Now beautiful boys, let's destroy.
We'll shine as the lucite breaks and falls.
Raise the new glitter god with the golden tears - the tears that swallow.
A smile that's touched so warms nothing.
Yesterday I burnt the sky, looked to the ground and wrapped it around me.
Still today I have so much to burn.
Yesterday I longed to die, fell to the ground, and the ground caught me.
Now today I question why I fell.
Deities fell to decoys, tainting what's pure.
Let's cleanse them all.
Infinite life reclaimed, as the shadows kill they are overshadowed.
Well burn as they fade into nothing.
So what can help me to understand, somehow, why it always pains me to breathe?
We're no longer confined because yesterday I burnt the sky.
Too Late For Gods - afi lyrics
Come with us
To the water as we celebrate poolside
Silver lined sons and daughters
Take the big dive
Celebrate before rejection
Before this pool shows our reflection
Too well
Diamond impressions
Lay where we fell
Without discretion
All the questions they’ll ask
Were we raised this way?
Such a promising past
Mayday
Go down in glory
What did I tell you, I promised they’d take me too
Down with the heroes before me
What did I tell you, I promised I’d give you a story
Tell me a story
Now look down
From these great heights
Soaring pristine and private
Through the storm
We will cut right
Across the skyline
Celebrate, conjoin with this storm
And radiate
We international wraiths
With hearts we’ve stolen
Flee but can’t keep
A thing that is golden
They say nothing was found
When we hit the ground
Did I forget to say
Mayday
To the water as we celebrate poolside
Silver lined sons and daughters
Take the big dive
Celebrate before rejection
Before this pool shows our reflection
Too well
Diamond impressions
Lay where we fell
Without discretion
All the questions they’ll ask
Were we raised this way?
Such a promising past
Mayday
Go down in glory
What did I tell you, I promised they’d take me too
Down with the heroes before me
What did I tell you, I promised I’d give you a story
Tell me a story
Now look down
From these great heights
Soaring pristine and private
Through the storm
We will cut right
Across the skyline
Celebrate, conjoin with this storm
And radiate
We international wraiths
With hearts we’ve stolen
Flee but can’t keep
A thing that is golden
They say nothing was found
When we hit the ground
Did I forget to say
Mayday
Breathing Towers To Heaven - afi lyrics
I saw this alone.
The city was aflame.
Did I turn right in or turn away?
Seems I went back home, holed up for a day.
Some say a year passed but that's okay, I'll stay.
Disappear, with me here, where the sun shows no fear,
as it burns my resolution to remain,
to refrain from contending the flame
as we join, this great illusion reappears.
Summertime is long.
In God's name who would stay?
God left yesterday but I remain.
So I left my home, took a whole new name.
Blessed be the ghost the fire claims today.
Disappear, with me here, where the sun shows no fear,
as it burns my resolution to remain,
to refrain from contending the flame
as we join, this great illusion reappears.
Dissappear..
"Who will sing my name?" So
sang the flame that gave my name. [X3]
Disappear, with me here, where the sun shows no fear,
as it burns my resolution to remain,
to refrain from contending the flame
as we join, this great illusion reappears.
Dissapear, disappear...dissappear
The city was aflame.
Did I turn right in or turn away?
Seems I went back home, holed up for a day.
Some say a year passed but that's okay, I'll stay.
Disappear, with me here, where the sun shows no fear,
as it burns my resolution to remain,
to refrain from contending the flame
as we join, this great illusion reappears.
Summertime is long.
In God's name who would stay?
God left yesterday but I remain.
So I left my home, took a whole new name.
Blessed be the ghost the fire claims today.
Disappear, with me here, where the sun shows no fear,
as it burns my resolution to remain,
to refrain from contending the flame
as we join, this great illusion reappears.
Dissappear..
"Who will sing my name?" So
sang the flame that gave my name. [X3]
Disappear, with me here, where the sun shows no fear,
as it burns my resolution to remain,
to refrain from contending the flame
as we join, this great illusion reappears.
Dissapear, disappear...dissappear

Prelude 12/21 - afi lyrics
This is what I brought you this you can keep,
This is what I brought you may forget me.
I promise to depart just promise one thing,
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
This is what I brought you this you can keep,
This is what I brought you may forget me.
I promise you my heart just promise to sing,
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
This is what I thought,
I thought you need me,
This is what I thought so think me naïve,
I promise you a heart you'd promise to keep,
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
This is what I brought you may forget me.
I promise to depart just promise one thing,
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
This is what I brought you this you can keep,
This is what I brought you may forget me.
I promise you my heart just promise to sing,
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
This is what I thought,
I thought you need me,
This is what I thought so think me naïve,
I promise you a heart you'd promise to keep,
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
Kill Caustic - afi lyrics
So I'm feeling much worse now
You're better, you're better
Your designer drug
Won't work, won't work for me.
Connect to a three volt
I hope your battery dies.
How could you run on such, on such voltage?
All the same
I remain
The one you blame and I'm
Demonized
Purified
Justified
As you let yourself show!
So now you'll love these screams
What's left of me. (Don't! Speak!)
Love these screams like I do (My! Name!)
As the infinite stops cold
Just nine and the six are gone
Guess I was the one to
Ride that dirty ride
That is turning so fast now
I cannot hold on
But at this pace
Who'd want, who'd want to
All the same
I remain
The one you blame and I'm
Demonized
Purified
Justified
As you let yourself show!
So now you'll love these screams
What's left of me. (Don't! Speak!)
Love these screams like I do (My! Name!)
Don't ever speak my name
Don't ever speak my name again
Don't ever speak it
Don't ever speak my name again
Don't speak
Don't speak
DON'T
SPEAK
MY
DON'T SPEAK MY NAME!
So now you'll love these screams
What's left of me. (Don't! Speak!)
Love these screams like I do (Why)
You're better, you're better
Your designer drug
Won't work, won't work for me.
Connect to a three volt
I hope your battery dies.
How could you run on such, on such voltage?
All the same
I remain
The one you blame and I'm
Demonized
Purified
Justified
As you let yourself show!

So now you'll love these screams

Don't speak
Don't speak

MY
DON'T SPEAK MY NAME!
So now you'll love these screams
What's left of me. (Don't! Speak!)
Love these screams like I do (Why)
Miss Murder - afi lyrics
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Make beauty stay if I,
Take my life?
Whoa-oh-ohh
With just a look they shook
And heavens bowed before him.
Simply a look can break your heart.
The stars that pierce the sky;
He left them all behind.
We’re left to wonder why
He left us all behind.
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Make beauty stay if I,
Take my life?
Whoa-oh-ohh
(ohh)
Dreams of his crash won’t pass
Oh, how they all adored him
Beauty will last when spiraled down.
The stars that mystify
He left them all behind.
And how his children cried
He left us all behind.
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Make beauty stay if I,
Take my life?
Whoa-oh-ohh
What's the hook, the twist
Within this verbose mystery?
I would gladly bet my life upon it.
That the ghost you love, your ray of light
Will fizzle out without hope.
We're the empty set just floating through, wrapped in skin
Ever searching for what we were promised.
Reaching for that golden ring we'd never let go,
but who would ever let us put put our filthy hands upon it?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Make beauty stay if I,
Take my life?
Whoa-oh-ohh
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Make beauty stay if I,
Take my life?
Whoa-oh-ohh
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Make beauty stay if I,
Take my life?
Whoa-oh-ohh
With just a look they shook
And heavens bowed before him.
Simply a look can break your heart.
The stars that pierce the sky;
He left them all behind.
We’re left to wonder why
He left us all behind.
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Make beauty stay if I,
Take my life?
Whoa-oh-ohh
(ohh)
Dreams of his crash won’t pass
Oh, how they all adored him
Beauty will last when spiraled down.
The stars that mystify
He left them all behind.
And how his children cried
He left us all behind.
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Make beauty stay if I,
Take my life?
Whoa-oh-ohh
What's the hook, the twist
Within this verbose mystery?
I would gladly bet my life upon it.
That the ghost you love, your ray of light

Hey Miss Murder can I?
Hey Miss Murder can I?

Summer Shudder - afi lyrics
Listen when I say,
When I say it's real.
Real life goes undefined,
Why must you be so missable?
Everything you take,
Makes me more unreal.
Real lines are undefined.
How can this be so miserable?
Under the summer rain, I burnt away.
Under the summer rain (Burn!)
You turned away.
Listen I can't make.
Make a sound or feel.
Feel fine I kissed the lies,
Why must they be so kissable?
Listen as I break.
Break the fourth wall's seal.
Gorgeous eyes shine suicide
When will we be invisible?
Under the summer rain, I burnt away.
Under the summer rain (Burn!)
We find a way.
Under the summer rain, I burnt away.
Under the summer rain (Burn!)
You turned away.
This is the fall,
This is the long way down.
And our lives look smaller now,
And our lives look so small.
Willingly crying.
This is the fall,
This is the long way down.
And our lives look smaller now,
And our lives look so small.
Under the summer rain, I burnt away.
Under the summer rain (Burn!)
We find a way.
Under the summer rain, I burnt away.
Under the summer rain (Burn!)
We find a way.
Under the summer rain (Burn!)
I burnt away.
Under the summer rain (Burn!)
You turned away...
When I say it's real.
Real life goes undefined,
Why must you be so missable?
Everything you take,
Makes me more unreal.
Real lines are undefined.
How can this be so miserable?
Under the summer rain, I burnt away.
Under the summer rain (Burn!)
You turned away.
Listen I can't make.
Make a sound or feel.
Feel fine I kissed the lies,
Why must they be so kissable?
Listen as I break.
Break the fourth wall's seal.
Gorgeous eyes shine suicide
When will we be invisible?
Under the summer rain, I burnt away.
Under the summer rain (Burn!)
We find a way.
Under the summer rain, I burnt away.
Under the summer rain (Burn!)
You turned away.
This is the fall,
This is the long way down.
And our lives look smaller now,
And our lives look so small.
Willingly crying.
This is the fall,
This is the long way down.
And our lives look smaller now,
And our lives look so small.
Under the summer rain, I burnt away.
Under the summer rain (Burn!)
We find a way.
Under the summer rain, I burnt away.
Under the summer rain (Burn!)
We find a way.
Under the summer rain (Burn!)
I burnt away.
Under the summer rain (Burn!)
You turned away...
The Interview - afi lyrics
Forever waiting for disaster,
What David calls servant and master,
Will you play it too?
As this displacement begs for water.
Swimming, bathing.
Drowning in sorrow.
Scream with me.
I crawl across this cracked expansion,
I'll be buried soon.
Beneath the sand with pure intentions.
Wanting something, someone to follow.
For a change, I'll refrain,
From hiding all of me from you.
(here's my lullaby.)
Pray for rain, lose your name.
And watch all your dreams fall through.
(hush now, don't you cry)
I swoon upon my knees come crashing,
Will you bury me?
Today, this small favour I am asking
Hold me, you may drop me tomorrow
For a change, I'll refrain,
From hiding all of me from you.
(here's my lullaby.)
Pray for rain, lose your name.
And watch all your dreams fall through.
(hush now)
For a change, I'll refrain,
From hiding all of me from you.
Pray for rain, lose your name.
And watch all your dreams fall through.
Here's my lullaby.
Hush now don't you cry.
Calm down.
Come down cold resides with me.
With me.
I flee to, I flee to decemberunderground.
As you exhale, I breathe in and sink into,
The water underground,
And I grow pale without you.
What David calls servant and master,
Will you play it too?
As this displacement begs for water.
Swimming, bathing.
Drowning in sorrow.
Scream with me.
I crawl across this cracked expansion,
I'll be buried soon.
Beneath the sand with pure intentions.
Wanting something, someone to follow.
For a change, I'll refrain,
From hiding all of me from you.

Love Like Winter - afi lyrics
Warn your warmth to turn away,
Here it's December,
Everyday. [small girlish echo:] I like that
Press your lips to the sculptures,
And surely you'll stay. [distant:] love like winter
For of sugar and ice,
I am made. I am made
It's in the blood,
It's in the blood.
I met my love before I was born.
He wanted love,
I taste of blood.
He bit my lip, and drank my war,
From years before, from years before.
She exhales vanilla lace,
I barely dreamt her, yesterday. [echo:] yesterday
Read the lines in the mirror through,
The lipstick trace.
Por siempre
She said "It seems you're somewhere, far away" to his face.
It's in the blood,
It's in the blood.
I met my love before I was born.
She wanted love,
I taste of blood.
She bit my lip, and drank my war,
From years before, from years before.
Love Like Winter.
Love Like Winter.
Winter.
Three, four
It's in the blood,
It's in the blood.
I met my love before I was born.
He wanted love,
I taste of blood.
He bit my lip, and drank my war,
From years before, from years before.
From years before.
Here it's December,
Everyday. [small girlish echo:] I like that
Press your lips to the sculptures,
And surely you'll stay. [distant:] love like winter
For of sugar and ice,
I am made. I am made
It's in the blood,
It's in the blood.
I met my love before I was born.
He wanted love,
I taste of blood.
He bit my lip, and drank my war,
From years before, from years before.
She exhales vanilla lace,
I barely dreamt her, yesterday. [echo:] yesterday
Read the lines in the mirror through,
The lipstick trace.
Por siempre
She said "It seems you're somewhere, far away" to his face.
It's in the blood,
It's in the blood.
I met my love before I was born.
She wanted love,

Love Like Winter.
Love Like Winter.
Winter.
Three, four
It's in the blood,
It's in the blood.
I met my love before I was born.
He wanted love,
I taste of blood.
He bit my lip, and drank my war,
From years before, from years before.
From years before.
Affliction - afi lyrics
Every night devise
new heights in genocide.
Lover I am loveless.
All my friends and I
toast health and suicide.
Lover, I am lonely.
Come on!
Were you holding hands when
my palms bled?
Oh, I will be alright...
just use me, just use me.
The future's bright without me.
Spend some time walking the line.
World is unified.
Ennui, and I divide.
Lover, I am loveless.
Red days and burning might bleed
'Til the faceless die
Oh, lover I am lonely.
Were you holding hands when
my wrists bled?
Oh I will be all right...
Just use me, just use me.
The futures bright without me
Spend some time walking the line.
Spend some time walking the line.
So stay sweetly numb.
Remain lifeless, love.
Stay sweetly numb.
Maintain lifeless love.
Stay sweetly numb.
Remain lifeless love.
Oh I will be all right...
Just use me, just use me.
The futures bright without me
Spend some time walking the line.
Spend some time walking the line.

The Missing Frame - afi lyrics
One at a time, constants become surreal
One at a time, heart attacks are consealed
I can see that I lose the joys of life,
One at a time.
Suicides are revealed
You will see that I lost another life
But tonight
I'll let you tear it up,
If you don't wake me up.
But if you tear it, We can't repair it.
So please don't wake me,
Til someone cares.
Now no one cares.
One at a time, I watch them all forget
One at a time, I'm lost in little deaths.
It's the place that I, I forget my life.
like tonight.
I'll let you tear it up,
If you don't wake me up.
But if you tear it, We can't repair it.
So please don't wake me,
Til someone cares.
Now no one cares
Will the flood behind me,
Put out the fire inside me,
Will the flood behind me,
Put out the fire inside me,
I'll let you tear it up,
I'll let you break it up,
If you don't wake me up.
But if you tear it, We can't repair it.
So please don't wake me,
Til someone cares.

Kiss And Control - afi lyrics
Watch the stars,
Turn you to nothing.
Now blush and smile as they whisk you away.
Part your lips a bit more,
I'll swallow your fear.
I will show you how.
All the bite marks impress
A need to be here,
A need to see.
City lights, like rain,
Dance and explode.
Fall upon debutantes
Reeling from nights that
Kiss and Control,
All of our, broken hearts.
Velvet burns,
The wrists while restraining..
You blushed and smiled,
And said you would stay.
One more time seal my breath,
I'll feed you the sky.
I will show you how.
Steal the glamour from death,
And before you die,
Oh, you should see.
City lights, like rain,
Dance and explode.
Fall upon debutantes
Reeling from nights that
Kiss and Control,
All of our, broken hearts.
Hearrrrrrtssss.
Ourrrrr heartssss.
"We all want to die like movie stars" you said as you jumped from the height of our cutting room floor.
While above us glowing, exploding, our dreams burst forth in light in death.
Hold me and tell me,
"We'll burn like stars. We'll burn as we fall. Watch as the city lights DANCE FOR US!"
City lights, like rain,
Dance and explode.
Fall upon the pain of our lives,
Reeling from nights that
Kiss and Control,
Fall apart, the pain of our lives, has pain.
Dance and explode.
City lights like rain
City lights sowcress me
Kiss and Control
All of our, broken hearts.
Turn you to nothing.
Now blush and smile as they whisk you away.
Part your lips a bit more,
I'll swallow your fear.
I will show you how.
All the bite marks impress
A need to be here,
A need to see.
City lights, like rain,

The Killing Lights - afi lyrics
Oh. [infamous davey "oh"]
Five A.M. on the bathroom floor from the night before.
Do you find me dreadful?
What a shame such a sad disgrace,
Such a pretty face,
But she's not regretful.
Am I beautiful?
Am I usable?
It's killing time again.
Put on your face and let's pretend,
These killing lights won't kill us all again.
Three A.M. on the city street,
When the air is sweet,
I've had my mouth full.
But it seems that outside the screen
Such a pretty face often will look dreadful.
Am I beautiful?
Am I usable?
It's killing time again.
Put on your face and let's pretend,
These killing lights won't kill us all again.
It's killing time again.
Cover your face and we'll pretend,
These killing lights can't kill us all again.
You see, they always remember.
They never forget a face.
When they cut cut cut cut cut cut cut you up,
Cut cut cut cut cut they remember.
Cut cut cut cut cut cut cut you up.
Cut you uppppppppp.
It's killing time again.
Put on your face and let's pretend,
These killing lights won't kill us all again.
It's killing time again.
Cover your face and we'll pretend,
These killing lights can't kill us all again.
All again.
All again.
It's time again.
It's killing time...
Five A.M. on the bathroom floor from the night before.
Do you find me dreadful?
What a shame such a sad disgrace,
Such a pretty face,
But she's not regretful.
Am I beautiful?
Am I usable?
It's killing time again.
Put on your face and let's pretend,
These killing lights won't kill us all again.
Three A.M. on the city street,
When the air is sweet,
I've had my mouth full.
But it seems that outside the screen
Such a pretty face often will look dreadful.
Am I beautiful?
Am I usable?
It's killing time again.
Put on your face and let's pretend,
These killing lights won't kill us all again.
It's killing time again.
Cover your face and we'll pretend,
These killing lights can't kill us all again.
You see, they always remember.
They never forget a face.
When they cut cut cut cut cut cut cut you up,
Cut cut cut cut cut they remember.
Cut cut cut cut cut cut cut you up.
Cut you uppppppppp.
It's killing time again.
Put on your face and let's pretend,
These killing lights won't kill us all again.
It's killing time again.
Cover your face and we'll pretend,
These killing lights can't kill us all again.
All again.
All again.
It's time again.
It's killing time...
37mm - afi lyrics
Bring your secrets to me,
Just give me your hands,
And I'll let you feel the wounds.
They put in me.
If you believe in me,
How can I be dissolving?
If you'd believe me,
I'd tell you everything.
Do you fall too?
(everytime that I)
Yes, I fall.
(everytime that I)
Do you want to,
(try to pacify)
Fall into me?
(fall into me)
(fall into me)
Into me.
Silence can you hear me?
Press me to your lips,
And I'll suck the poison out.
Who will heal me? me..
If you keep killing me,
How can I keep absolving?
Your sins into me,
Begin the poisoning.
Do you fall too?
(everytime that I)
Yes, I fall.
(everytime that I)
Do you want to,
(try to pacify)
Fall into me?
(fall into me)
(fall into me)
Into me.
Time, time, time,
We're not, waiting.

We're no one.

Endlessly, She Said - afi lyrics
[Whispering]
Walked into our world and made
Horrible sounds.
I can still hear them today
(strangely they seem)
Beautiful now,
though they outlast my love.
Still each time I always meant,
Every word,
Every one.
Though in time they finally bent,
Every word,
Every one.
Every word.
"I will wait for you." She said,
Endlessly.
"I will wait for you." So spoke,
Misery.
I returned to you but found,
My empty home.
The radio told me to stay.
As it burned down
I sang alone.
You will outlast my love.
Still each time I always meant,
Every word,
Every one.
Though in time they finally bent,
Every word,
Every one.
Every word.
"I will wait for you." She said,
Endlessly.
"I will wait for you." So spoke,
Misery.
Oh.
I have been waiting for you,
Biting as you taught me to.
I have come to relieve you,
Of life and love.
I will wait for you.
I will wait for you.
I will wait for you.
I will wait.
I will wait.
"I will wait for you." She said,
Endlessly.
"I will wait for you." So spoke,
Misery.
"I will wait for you"
Wait for you,
Endlessly.
"I will wait for you."
So spoke.
So spoke,
Misery.
I will bite straight through.
As I wait for you
Dear,
Endlessly.
Walked into our world and made
Horrible sounds.
I can still hear them today
(strangely they seem)
Beautiful now,
though they outlast my love.
Still each time I always meant,
Every word,
Every one.
Though in time they finally bent,
Every word,
Every one.
Every word.
"I will wait for you." She said,
Endlessly.
"I will wait for you." So spoke,
Misery.
I returned to you but found,
My empty home.
The radio told me to stay.
As it burned down
I sang alone.
You will outlast my love.
Still each time I always meant,
Every word,
Every one.
Though in time they finally bent,
Every word,
Every one.
Every word.
"I will wait for you." She said,

"I will wait for you." So spoke,

Oh.
I have been waiting for you,
Biting as you taught me to.
I have come to relieve you,
Of life and love.
I will wait for you.
I will wait for you.
I will wait for you.
I will wait.
I will wait.
"I will wait for you." She said,
Endlessly.
"I will wait for you." So spoke,
Misery.
"I will wait for you"
Wait for you,
Endlessly.
"I will wait for you."
So spoke.
So spoke,
Misery.
I will bite straight through.
As I wait for you
Dear,
Endlessly.

Miseria Cantare (The Beginning) - afi lyrics
Love your hate, your faith lost
You are now one of us
Love your hate, your faith lost
You are now one of us
Nothing from nowhere, I'm no one at all
Radiate, recognize one silent call
As we all form one dark flame... Incinerate
Nothing from nowhere, I'm no one at all
Radiate, recognize one silent call
As we all form one dark flame
As we all form one dark flame
As we all...
Love your hate, your faith lost
You are now one of us
Love your hate, your faith lost
You are now one of us
Love your hate, your faith lost
You are now one of us
Nothing from nowhere, I'm no one at all
Radiate, recognize one silent call
As we all form one dark flame... Incinerate
Nothing from nowhere, I'm no one at all
Radiate, recognize one silent call
As we all form one dark flame
As we all form one dark flame
As we all...
Love your hate, your faith lost
You are now one of us
Love your hate, your faith lost
The Leaving Song Pt. 2 - afi lyrics
Don't waste your touch, you won't feel anything
Or were you sent to save me?
I've thought too much, you won't find anything...
Worthy of redeeming
Yo he estado aqui muchas veces antes y regreso
To... break down, and cease all feeling
Burn now, what once was breathing
Reach out, and you may take my heart away
Imperfect cry, and scream in ecstasy
So what befalls the flawless?
Look what I've built, it shines so beautifully
Now watch as it destroys me
Y regreso aqui otra vez y comienzo
To... break down, and cease all feeling
Burn now, what once was breathing
Reach out, and you may take my heart away
Break down, and cease all feeling
Burn now, what once was breathing
Reach out, and you may take my heart away
I left it all behind, and never said goodbye
I left it all behind, and never said goodbye
I left it all behind, and never said goodbye
I left it all to die
I saw its birth, I watched it grow
I felt it change me
I took the life, I ate it slow
Now it consumes me
I... break down, and cease all feeling
Burn now, what once was breathing
Reach out, and you may take my heart away
Break down, and cease all feeling
Burn now, what once was breathing
Reach out, and you may take my heart away
... Heart away
Or were you sent to save me?
I've thought too much, you won't find anything...
Worthy of redeeming
Yo he estado aqui muchas veces antes y regreso
To... break down, and cease all feeling
Burn now, what once was breathing
Reach out, and you may take my heart away
Imperfect cry, and scream in ecstasy
So what befalls the flawless?
Look what I've built, it shines so beautifully
Now watch as it destroys me
Y regreso aqui otra vez y comienzo
To... break down, and cease all feeling
Burn now, what once was breathing
Reach out, and you may take my heart away
Break down, and cease all feeling
Burn now, what once was breathing
Reach out, and you may take my heart away
I left it all behind, and never said goodbye
I left it all behind, and never said goodbye
I left it all behind, and never said goodbye
I left it all to die
I saw its birth, I watched it grow
I felt it change me
I took the life, I ate it slow
Now it consumes me
I... break down, and cease all feeling
Burn now, what once was breathing
Reach out, and you may take my heart away
Break down, and cease all feeling
Burn now, what once was breathing
Reach out, and you may take my heart away
... Heart away
Bleed Black - afi lyrics
Oh
I am exploring the inside, I find it desolate
I do implore these confines, now, as they penetrate, "recreate me"
I'm hovering throughout time, I crumble in these days
I crumble, I cannot, I cannot find reflection in these days
(If you listen) Listen, listen
(Listen close) Beat by beat
(You can hear when the heart stops) I saved the pieces
(When it broke) And ground them all to dust
I am destroyed by the inside, I disassociate
I hope to destroy the outside, it will alleviate and elevate me
Like water flowing into lungs, I'm flowing through these days
Like morphine cuts through, through dead end veins, I'm numbing in these days
So...
(If you listen) Listen, listen
(Listen close) Beat by beat
(You can hear when the heart stops) I saved the pieces
(When it broke) And ground them all to dust
I know what died that night, it can never be brought back to life
Once again, I know
[x2]
I know I died that night and I'll never be brought back to life
Once again, I know
[x2]
(If you listen) Listen, listen
(Listen close) Beat by beat
(You can hear when the heart stops) I saved the pieces
(When it broke) And ground them all to dust
So...
(If you listen) Listen, listen
(Listen close) It dies beat by beat
(You can hear when the heart stops) I saved the pieces
(When it broke) And ground them all to dust
I am exploring the inside, I find it desolate
I do implore these confines, now, as they penetrate, "recreate me"
I'm hovering throughout time, I crumble in these days
I crumble, I cannot, I cannot find reflection in these days
(If you listen) Listen, listen
(Listen close) Beat by beat
(You can hear when the heart stops) I saved the pieces
(When it broke) And ground them all to dust
I am destroyed by the inside, I disassociate
I hope to destroy the outside, it will alleviate and elevate me
Like water flowing into lungs, I'm flowing through these days
Like morphine cuts through, through dead end veins, I'm numbing in these days
So...
(If you listen) Listen, listen
(Listen close) Beat by beat
(You can hear when the heart stops) I saved the pieces
(When it broke) And ground them all to dust
I know what died that night, it can never be brought back to life
Once again, I know
[x2]
I know I died that night and I'll never be brought back to life
Once again, I know
[x2]
(If you listen) Listen, listen
(Listen close) Beat by beat
(You can hear when the heart stops) I saved the pieces
(When it broke) And ground them all to dust
So...
(If you listen) Listen, listen
(Listen close) It dies beat by beat
(You can hear when the heart stops) I saved the pieces
(When it broke) And ground them all to dust
Silver And Cold - afi lyrics
I... I came here by day, but I left here in darkness
And found you, found you on the way
And now, it is silver and silent, it is silver and cold
You, in somber resplendence, I hold
Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one
Your sins into me
As a rapturous voice escapes, I will tremble a prayer
And I'll beg for forgiveness
(Your sins into me) Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one
Light, like the flutter of wings, feel your hollow voice rushing into me
As you're longing to sing
So I... I will paint you in silver, I will wrap you in cold
I will lift up your voice as I sink
Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one, now
Your sins into me
As a rapturous voice escapes, I will tremble a prayer
And I'll beg for forgiveness
(Your sins into me) Your sins into me
Cold in life's throes, I'll fall asleep for you
Cold in life's throes, I only ask you turn away
Cold in life's throes, I'll fall asleep for you
Cold in life's throes, I only ask you turn
As they seep... into me, oh, my beautiful one, now
Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one
Your sins into me
As a rapturous voice escapes, I will tremble a prayer
And I'll beg for forgiveness
(Your sins into me)
Your sins into me... oh
Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one, now
Your sins into me
As a rapturous voice escapes, I will tremble a prayer
And I'll beg for forgiveness
(Your sins into me) Your sins into...
(Your sins into me) Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one
And found you, found you on the way
And now, it is silver and silent, it is silver and cold
You, in somber resplendence, I hold
Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one
Your sins into me
As a rapturous voice escapes, I will tremble a prayer
And I'll beg for forgiveness
(Your sins into me) Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one
Light, like the flutter of wings, feel your hollow voice rushing into me
As you're longing to sing
So I... I will paint you in silver, I will wrap you in cold
I will lift up your voice as I sink
Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one, now
Your sins into me
As a rapturous voice escapes, I will tremble a prayer
And I'll beg for forgiveness
(Your sins into me) Your sins into me
Cold in life's throes, I'll fall asleep for you
Cold in life's throes, I only ask you turn away
Cold in life's throes, I'll fall asleep for you
Cold in life's throes, I only ask you turn
As they seep... into me, oh, my beautiful one, now
Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one
Your sins into me
As a rapturous voice escapes, I will tremble a prayer
And I'll beg for forgiveness
(Your sins into me)
Your sins into me... oh
Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one, now
Your sins into me
As a rapturous voice escapes, I will tremble a prayer
And I'll beg for forgiveness
(Your sins into me) Your sins into...
(Your sins into me) Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one
Dancing Through Sunday - afi lyrics
Will you join me in this dance, this dance of misery
Cradled in imposs... impossibility?
Swooning, I am swept away
Swept off my feet, with step by step by step
We take the lead as drop by drop, we start... to bleed
(Oh, we dance in misery)
And we dance on, and we dance on
(Oh, we dance in misery)
All lost in the arms of our misery, oh
(Oh, we dance in misery)
And we dance on, and we dance on
Swept off our feet by misery, we're swept into the shadows
Will you lend yourself to beauty that will horrify?
Let me hide within your black, the still inside your eyes
Deafened, caught within a cry
So sensual, as step by step by step, I seperate
As breath to breath, I suffocate
(Oh, we dance in misery)
And we dance on, and we dance on
(Oh, we dance in misery)
All lost in the arms of our misery, oh
(Oh, we dance in misery)
And we dance on, and we dance on
Swept off our feet by misery, we're swept into the shadows
So who will follow? Who is the lead?
I know I'll leave a stain, because I bleed
As we dance, we all dance
We all... have no chance in this horrid romance
(Oh, we dance in misery)
And we dance on, and we dance on
(Oh, we dance in misery)
All lost in the arms of our misery, oh
(Oh, we dance in misery)
And we dance on, and we dance on
Swept off our feet by misery, we're swept into the shadows
Swept off our feet by misery, we're swept into the shadows
Cradled in imposs... impossibility?
Swooning, I am swept away
Swept off my feet, with step by step by step
We take the lead as drop by drop, we start... to bleed
(Oh, we dance in misery)
And we dance on, and we dance on
(Oh, we dance in misery)
All lost in the arms of our misery, oh
(Oh, we dance in misery)
And we dance on, and we dance on
Swept off our feet by misery, we're swept into the shadows
Will you lend yourself to beauty that will horrify?
Let me hide within your black, the still inside your eyes
Deafened, caught within a cry
So sensual, as step by step by step, I seperate
As breath to breath, I suffocate
(Oh, we dance in misery)
And we dance on, and we dance on
(Oh, we dance in misery)
All lost in the arms of our misery, oh
(Oh, we dance in misery)
And we dance on, and we dance on
Swept off our feet by misery, we're swept into the shadows
So who will follow? Who is the lead?
I know I'll leave a stain, because I bleed
As we dance, we all dance
We all... have no chance in this horrid romance
(Oh, we dance in misery)
And we dance on, and we dance on
(Oh, we dance in misery)
All lost in the arms of our misery, oh
(Oh, we dance in misery)
And we dance on, and we dance on
Swept off our feet by misery, we're swept into the shadows
Swept off our feet by misery, we're swept into the shadows
Girl's Not Grey - afi lyrics
I'll lay me down tonight
Much further down
Swim in the calm tonight
This art does drown
(What follows) me as the whitest lace of light
(Will swallow whole) just begs to be imbrued?
(What follows) has led me to this place
where I belong, with all erased
What follows
All insects sing tonight
The coldest sound
I'd send God's grace tonight
Could it be found?
(What follows) me as the whitest lace of light
(Will swallow whole) just begs to be imbrued?
(What follows) has led me to this place
where I belong, with all erased
I'll lay me down tonight
Much further down
Watch stars go out tonight
On sinking ground
I'll lay me down, I'll lay me down
(What follows) me as the whitest lace of light
(Will swallow whole) just begs to be imbrued?
(What follows) has led me to this place
where I belong, with all erased
What follows will swallow whole
What follows will swallow whole
Much further down
Swim in the calm tonight
This art does drown
(What follows) me as the whitest lace of light
(Will swallow whole) just begs to be imbrued?
(What follows) has led me to this place
where I belong, with all erased
What follows
All insects sing tonight
The coldest sound
I'd send God's grace tonight
Could it be found?
(What follows) me as the whitest lace of light
(Will swallow whole) just begs to be imbrued?
(What follows) has led me to this place
where I belong, with all erased
I'll lay me down tonight
Much further down
Watch stars go out tonight
On sinking ground
I'll lay me down, I'll lay me down
(What follows) me as the whitest lace of light
(Will swallow whole) just begs to be imbrued?
(What follows) has led me to this place
where I belong, with all erased
What follows will swallow whole
What follows will swallow whole
