A.F.I. Album

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'd tear out my soul for you, my dear. Oh, my dear
(Anything)
To feel everything as you do
I'd do

Anything
Anything, oh..

Leave me
Leave me to grieve that nothing's lost, nothing's lost
Leave me
But when you leave, know nothing's lost, nothing's lost

(Anything)
I'd tear out my eyes for you, my dear
(Anything)
To see everything that you do
I'd do(Anything)
I'd tear out my soul for you, my dear. Oh, my dear
(Anything)
To feel everything as you do. I do. I do...

My dear there is no danger
Can't you see they turn blind eyes
To we swift and spot lit 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

Oh, are we running towards death?
I have met him times before
He adores 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

Roll 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
And 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've seen a few

This night has only just begun
If there's discretion that you'd not abandon, now is the time
We'll burn against the morning sun
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
And said "We never can truly know who we are"

This night has only just begun
If there's discretion that you'd not abandon, now is the time
We'll burn against the morning sun
Go grab your bag, I'll bring the gun, the gun

Everything was burning bright,
Everyone was frightened,
You, said "Stay strong"
Everybody know in that what we'd invited, still,
Remains when we're gone

This night has only just begun
If there's discretion that you'd not abandon, now is the time
We'll burn against the morning sun
Go grab your bag, I'll bring the gun
Oh!

This night has only just begun
If there's discretion that you'd not abandon, now is the time
We'll burn against the morning sun
Go grab your bag, I'll bring the gun, the gun
I'll bring the gun
Oh.

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'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 even speak
I'd warn that you should leave before
You're seen with me.

I'd die, if you only met my eyes
Before you pass by
Will you pause to break my heart?

I'd die, if you only met my eyes
Before you pass by
Will you pause to break my heart?
Will you pause to break my heart?
Will you pause...?

I am everywhere, everywhere but here
I am everywhere, everywhere but here

I'd die, if you only met my eyes
Before you pass by
Will you pause to break my heart?

I'd die, if you only met my eyes
Before you pass by
Will you pause...?

I'd die, if you only met my eyes
Before you pass by
Will you pause to break my heart?
Will you pause to break my heart?
Will you pause...?

Oh

Oh my story's not the oldest of its kind
I was too touched to see you clearly, far too young to realize
I had loved so dearly you, whose world I had designed
But the sweet smoke came with mirrors and it brought tears to my wide eyes

I'm 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
(Oh)
(Oh oh)
(Oh)
(Oh oh)

Falling over dead (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

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, oh my dear
Please dry your eyes
Who could harm you?
To hurt you is to be despised
As I'd love to.

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 you 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 you with me.
Now as we lose ourselves in this and ignore
that you don't even know my name.

Medicate you 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 its thing.

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 you with me.
Now as we lose ourselves in this and ignore
that you don't even know my name.

Medicate you with me.
Now as we lose ourselves in us and ignore
that you don't even know my name.

Medicate you 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.

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!
Flash, flash, car crash
We're no fixtures.
Woah
Woah

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.

Flash, flash, car crash
We're no fixtures.
Quick, now, quick
Take our picture!
Flash, flash, car crash
We're no fixtures.
Woah
Woah

We can't - can't remember the seasons
We chant in the manmade snow.
We can't - can't recall the feelings
We cannot show.

Flash, flash, car crash
We're no fixtures.
Quick, now, quick
Take our picture!
Flash, flash, car crash
We're no fixtures.
Woah
Woah

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 punch line.

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.

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 bite.

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.

How I regret what I must do
But you 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
Oh, 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
We had found
Sacred ground
Oh we had found
Sacred ground
I'll burn 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

Tell me who
Will hear
Your voice
Your song
When the smoke
Has cleared
And the lights
Have gone
Tell me who appears when I'm gone

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

I thought you sang
So tastefully
I see, I was wrong
Your serenade turns to filth when I leave
So please, cut the love song
(Cut the love song)
Cut the love song

Don't move
Don't do anything
What we captured got away
Slipped from us

Don't speak, don't
Dont 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
I know

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 ever stay

Oh
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

They'll say
"Relax, you'll be fine"
(All we love goes away)
Oh
They'll take
All you let them find
(All we love goes away)
It was mine

It was mine

You won't see them right away
But you'll hear them singing
Hold me closely
But don't say anything
They've come to take me away
And won't leave until I'm gone
Oh

Don't say anything
Don't say anything
They won't leave until I'm gone
I'm gone

Give me this,
Before I slip
Before I sink.
Because I think,
I think
I may have found
The short way down.

Just give me something cold and clear
The love spent here.
As I had feared
Means nothing dear,
I prayed to reason I'll forget
I'll trade what's left.

Just give me something
Cut the devout
Bring it to us
Get the blood out
Bound by this flesh
I alone
Am the devout
Cutting into us
Get the blood out
Desecrate till we die alone

I will defy the past disquise,
But please pretend we're still alive
If it gives you hope a song and drown
I'm taking the short way down

Just give me something
Cut the devout
Bring it to us
Get the blood out
Bound by this flesh
I alone
Am the devout
Cutting into us
Get the blood out
Desecrate till we die alone

Give me something I can take
Can take to make the memories fade
Poison gives
Remember this
I never was meant for this day.

Cut the devout
Bring it to us
Get the blood out
Bound by this flesh
I alone
Am the devout
Cutting into us
Get the blood out
Desecrate till we die alone

Cut the devout
Bring it to us
Get the blood out
Bound by this flesh
I alone
Am the devout
Cutting into us
Get the blood out
Desecrate till we die alone

We die alone.
We die alone.

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
I'd try my luck and you said
"Well you don't
You don’t have to try"

(I forgot that night)
(What you said that night)
"I had the most exquisite time"
(Well you got that right)
But it’s 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 I'm not next in line
(I court the loveliest of crimes)
Save it, 'cause we’ve 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 you'd 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 we've got the knife)
(Yeah we've got the knife)
I've got the knife you left behind
(Well we've got the knife)
Now I want 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 I'm not next in line
(I court the loveliest of crimes)
Save it, 'cause we've got the knife

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
To taking a life

Oh
(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 I’m not next in line
(I court the loveliest of crimes)
Save it, 'cause we’ve got the knife
We've got the knife
We've got the knife

I
I might
Seem a bit peculiar
A bit not right
For though
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 before they terminate
Where we used to play
In those days

I
Know I'm
With strangers
I recognize
And I
I realize
My own disowned me
Well never mind

I swear I'm almost there (almost)
This is right where we used to play
I may be chasing ghost trains hoping they'll arrive
Where we used to play, oh
I may be hopping ghost trains before they terminate
Where we used to play

I
I never will let it go
Until I find that place I
Called mine
Oh, I
I never will let it go
I never was truly meant for
This time

(I
I might
Seem a bit peculiar)
A bit not right

I may be chasing ghost trains hoping they'll arrive
Where we used to play, oh
I may be hopping ghost trains before they terminate
Where we used to play
In those days
Where we used to play
In those days
Where we used to play
In those days

In those days
In those days
In those days
In those days
In those days
In those...

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
I fell

Deities fell to decoys
Tainting what's pure, Let's
Cleanse them all

Infinite life reclaimed, as the shadows kill they're overshadowed
We'll burn as they fade into 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

So what can help me
To understand, somehow
Why it always pains me to breathe?
Pains me to breathe
We're no longer confined
Because yesterday I
I burnt the sky
We're no longer confined
Because yesterday I
I burnt the sky

Oh
(Yesterday I burnt the sky)
Looked to the ground and wrapped it around me
(Still today I) Have so much to burn, to burn, to burn
(Yesterday I longed to die) (We're no longer confined)
Fell to the ground, and the ground caught me (Because yesterday I)
(Now today I) question why I fell (I burnt the sky)
I fell (We're no longer confined)
(Because yesterday I)
I fell (I burnt the sky)
I fell

Because yesterday I

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

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
