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
