A.F.I. Album

[No lyrics]

(If you can't stand) upon the water
I will see you on the ocean floor.
(When you blink) do you only find
The misery between the lines?
Then take my hand and walk with me.
Come to me, your sanctuary.
I'll gladly accept the gift that I've been granted.
(If you) feel fine, then give it just a little time
I'm sure you'll contract my disease.

Chorus:
(Look what you've done to me now)
You've made me perfect.
(Look what you've done to me now)

If you can't stand upon the earth
Then I will see you on the other side.
(When you blink) do you only find
The misery weighs down your eyes?
Then take my side and sleep with me.

Chorus

Take my hand, I'll be everything to you.
Take my hand, I'll take everything from you.
I will seep under your skin. I will.
I will hold onto your heart. I will.

Chorus (2X)
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
DONE!

Swing through sadness
Tears of joy
Curse the sunlight
Arsenic for the girls and boys.
Drink the madness
Smoke so coy
Smile injection
Serum of a will destroyed
Serum of a will-
Serum of a will destroyed

The seasons change-change without me.
I remain ...
In shadows growing wings.
The spirit song still surrounds me
In refrain ...
In shadows growing wings.

[ x2 ]

Like an angel with two broken wings - woa
Reach to the sky again. - woa
Like a devil meant for better things -woa
I will find my place on high

The seasons change-change without me.
I remain ...
In shadows growing wings.
The spirit song still surrounds me
In refrain ...
In shadows growing wings.

Lie in the comfort, of sweet calamity, with nothing left to lose.
lie in the darkness,
I'm slowly drawn to sleep with nothing left to lose.
Three tears I've saved for you.

I'd retrace the steps that lead me here but nothing lives, behind me.
So I lie in this field bathed in the light that loves me,
with nothing left to lose.
Three tears I've saved for you.

Will you be my...be my beloved?
Will you help...help me to get through?
Will you be my...be my destruction?
Will you help... help me to be through?

Will you be my...be my beloved?
Will you help...help me to get through?
Will you be my...be my destruction?
Will you help ... three tears I've saved for you.

Hear one thousand screams.
Hear one thousand voices.
A solitary echo.
Feel one thousand pains,
but one is receiving a bloody invitation.

Do you want to feel the warmth?
Do you want to taste life flow?

Feel one thousand lost sinking into soft skin.
Ingest rejuvenation.
One to consume,
one to renew.
Demanded invitation.

Do you want to feel the warmth?
Do you want to taste life flow?

I offer grace,
I offer blood.
I offer everything till (my heart) is crystal clear.
I offer everything till (my heart) is crystal clear.

Do you want to feel the warmth?
I wanna taste life flow.
I want to taste the life to taste the life flow.

Now ending discreetly
Just like a hidden sin
As I go under please tuck me in
Make me invisible
This hidden explosion calls for a wandering cast with no direction
Enter all monsters let us twist another fairy tale

Go kill the lights, we'll glow 'til morning comes
I'll say goodnight and bow to everyone
Then we go under

The beauties are sleeping as fruit just rots away
Today go hungry
Let it begin
Make me invincible
There was a weeping I carried down today, a sigh worth keeping
Deep within divinity let's start another secret show

Go kill the lights, we'll glow 'til morning comes
I'll say goodnight and bow to everyone

No need to worry it is just another monster
No need to fear here in the secret show
No need to worry I am just another monster
In you, I'll see me, in the secret show

Go kill the lights, we'll glow 'til morning comes
I'll say goodnight and bow to everyone
(X2)

Overwhelmed with deep repulsion
For sights seen so commonly
Now I have come to be the walking enmity
Assimilate into a culture
Of post-morality
From what I've seen I hate humanity

Rot with repulsion
I'll write the world a brand new song

Look upon your bleak creation
But is it truly me
That's come to be the human blasphemy?

I'll set the world on fire
And in the burning light
I I'll write my first love song
And I will feel warm

Hide your eyes
In heaven in the lies
Believe relieve
I'll end the world tonight

Overwhelmed with deep repulsion
For sights seen so commonly
Now I have come to be the walking enmity
For humanity the human blasphemy
I'll end the world tonight

again and again they blend into one, my
father the morning pushes through my moonlight love, so what's sleep,
sleep,
sleep.
whoaa..
i'm tired, so tired, so tired..
but it seems that there's someone here with me

we are the wakeful, wry and watchful, we're awaiting
deathless ones
we are the wakeful, wry and watchful, we're awaiting
deathless ones

a story at three with the shrillest of cries, my
mind fights with the sparkles in the corner of my eyes, so what's sleep,
sleep,
sleep.
whoaa..
i'm tired, so tired, so tired...
but it seems that there's someone here with me

We are the wakeful, wry and watchful, we're awaiting
deathless ones
we are the wakeful, wry and watchful, we're awaiting
deathless ones
we are the wakeful, wry and watchful, we're awaiting
deathless ones
we are the wakeful, wry and watchful, we're awaiting
the deathless ones

i hear the mourning choir
sing to me
their elegy
i hear the mourning choir
sing to me
their elegy
(sing to me...)
i hear the mourning choir (so beautiful)
(sing to me...)
their elegy (beauty)
(sing to me...)
i hear the mourning choir (ah, they sing to me)
(sing to me...)
their elegy (requiem)
i hear the mourning choir
sing to me
their elegy

we are the wakeful, wry and watchful, we're awaiting
deathless ones
we are the wakeful, wry and watchful, we're awaiting
deathless ones
we are the wakeful, wry and watchful, we're awaiting
deathless ones
we are the wakeful, wry and watchful, we're awating
the deathless ones

I remember when I was told
of story of crushed velvet, candle wax, and dried up flowers.
The figure on the bed all dressed up in roses,
calling beckoning to sleep offering a dream.
The words were as mystical as purring animals.
The circle of rage the ghosts on the stage appeared.
The time was so tangible I'll never let it go.
Ghost stories handed down, reached secret tunnels below.
No one could see me.
I fell into yesterday.
Our dreams seemed not far away.
I want to stay.
I fell into fantasy.
The girl on the wall always waited for me and she was always smiling.
The teenage death boys, the teenage death girls..
and everyone was dancing.
Nothing could touch us then
no one could change us then,
and everyone was dancing.
Nothing could hurt us then,
no one could see us then,
and everyone was dancing.
Everyone was dancing.

I feel it washing over me, the slow poisonous tide.
Pins and needles dance on me. Sickness undefined.
Now I'm afraid to face the sky. Please someone hear my haunted cries.
Please them waken me. (X4)

With eyes sewn shut I still can see (I end up somewhere)
All that is surrounding me (Somewhere between)na
Between a dream (I end up nomewhere)
And motionless reality, will I forever life?

I feel it binding so smoothly. I see myself below.
I feel it gnawing, eating me. Poisonous and slow.
My mind it speeds. My voice has died.
God let me make the faintest cry.
Please them waken me. (X4)

With eyes sewn shut I still can see (I end up somewhere)
All that is surrounding me (Somewhere between)
Between a dream (I end up nowhere)
And motionless reality, will I forever life?

Binded by my hands, by my legs, by my eyes, by my mouth, by everything.
Opened up and for the taking, just one touch and I'll be yours.
Opened up wide for the breaking. Just one touch and I'll be yours.
What's on the other side, behind the mirror?
To try, I cry, to break the static keeping me here in between.
What's on the other side of the mirror?
To try, I cry, to break the static keeping me here in between.

Let's tap your heart so we can paint the walls and see
if anybody likes the tone or the pain.
The hungry eyes waiting for life flash.
Now they're gonna see it. Now they're gonna see it.
Open your veins so we can make a pool and bathe
and see if anyone complains of the stain.

Let's strip you down so we can see your old scars.
Now you're gonna feel it. Now you're gonna feel it.

Show me how to shine now!

Have you turned, turned to dust? (I saw an insect learn to fly.)
Have you ever seen the kingdom of the flys? (Its form was scorned.)
Have you lost the sense of touch? (I saw it stay in sovereignty.)
Have you ever turned to dust?

Let's lift you up so we can see how fast you fall.
We always thought that you could fly;
now you'll crawl.
The lack of loyalty you thought you once felt
Now you're gonna feel it. Now you're gonna feel it.

Show me how to shine now.

Have you turned, turned to dust? (I saw an insect learn to fly.)
Have you ever seen the kingdom of the flys? (Its form was scorned.)
Have you lost the sense of touch? (I saw it stay in sovereignty.)
Have you ever turned to dust?

Now show me... Now show me... Now show me... how to shine.
Now show me (how)... Now show me (how)... Now show me (how)... how to shine.
Now show me (how)... Now show me (how)... Now show me (how)... how to shine.

Have you turned, turned to dust? (I saw an insect learn to fly.)
Have you ever seen the kingdom of the flys? (Its form was scorned.)
Have you lost the sense of touch? (I saw it stay in sovereignty.)
Have you ever turned to dust?

I can feel you waiting for me when the sun retreats to the hills and I,
beneath the blanket of a burning sky, wrap myself within.
Embraced by dead leaves
as the rain leaves trails of black down my face,
and I creep through the twilight to that hidden place
beyond the lonely.

I'll meet you tonight in the whispers when no one's around.
Nothing can stop us now.
Tonight in the whispers where we won't be found.
nothing can stop us now.

I can feel you dreaming of me and the time when our steps are retraced
and I creep through the twilight to that hidden place,
beyond the lonely,
I'll meet you.

Tonight in the whispers when no one's around.
Nothing can stop us now.
Tonight in the whispers where we won't be found.
nothing can stop us now. (X2)

I can feel you dreaming of me.
I can feel you dreaming.
I can feel you dreaming of me.
Beneath a dream, beneath the dream.
(One World Away) I can feel you dreaming of me.
(We were just One World Away) I can feel you dreaming.
(In silent rapture let us stray) I can feel you dreaming of me.
(One World Away) Lost in a dream. Lost in a dream.

Tonight in the whispers when no one's around. Nothing can stop us now.
Tonight in the whispers where we wont' be found. Nothing can stop us now.
Tonight in the whispers when no one's around. Nothing can stop us now.
Tonight in the whispers where we wont' be found. Nothing can stop us.

Six figures enter;
they've come to destroy the world.
They've called together this storm almost every night.
I awake in another place.
A familiar voice with a stranger's face speaks
I awake in another place
more unheard words.

What new friends will the day bring?
(Whoa)
One for one thousand acquainted.
(Whoa)
What new home will the night bring?
(Whoa)
When it all comes down you just throw the bones.

On the way,
I saw five hours of sleep
On the way,
But your fire makes it all worth while.
On the way there,
I wrote words for you to keep.
On the way,

What new friends will ther day bring?
(Whoa)
One for a thousand aquainted
(Whoa)
What new hope will the night bring?
(Whoa)
when it all comes down you just throw the bones

On the way,
I saw five hours of sleep
On the way,
But your fire makes it all worth while.
On the way,
I wrote words for you to keep.
On the way.

I saw myself
Lost myself along the way
and you remind me

On the way,
I saw five hours of sleep
on the way,
But your fire makes it all worth while
on the way,
I wrote words for you to keep
On the way

Along the path where the stream is talking
I breathe the mist and continue walking
The wood it whispers in a language of it's own
As a sigh escaped my lips
I feel the light caress of fingertips
that steal away the breath and leave me on my own

Waiting by the stairs, Waiting, I despair
Waiting by the stairs, Waiting, by the...
(my whole life is a dark room,
one, big, dark, room)

Do I hear the hollow sound
footsteps resounding on this frozen ground
or the familiar disappointment of the echoes of my own?

Waiting by the stairs, Waiting, I despair
Waiting by the stairs, Waiting, by the stairs
Waiting by the stairs, Waiting, I despair
Waiting by the stairs, Waiting, by the stairs

For redeption, for election, for the times when i did say;
for the extacsy, for the champion day, whats the point of my fragility?

Somehow I ended up here in between,
where there is always the comfort
of knowing I'll never be seen
when I fall
when I fall
I wait for just one touch
and I fall
Weightless, endless, faithless, I'll adore you.
A single touch before I fade.
Painless let me pass through.
Weightless, endless, faithless, I'll adore you.
A single touch before I fade.
Painless let me pass through.

I saw a star beneath the stairs
Glowing through the melting walls.
Who will be the first to begin their fall?
Or will we become one?

Am I the star beneath the stairs?
Am I the ghost upon the stage?
Am I your anything?

I saw a star beneath the stairs
Glowing bright before descent,
And in the morning there was nothing left
But what’s inside of me.

Am I the star beneath the stairs?
Am I the ghost upon the stage?
Am I your anything?

Am I the star beneath the stairs?
Am I the ghost upon the stage?
Am I your anything?

And I don't
Want to
Die tonight
Will you believe in me?
And I don't
Want to
Fall into the light.
Will you wish upon?
Will you walk upon me?
I don’t want to die tonight.
Will you believe in me tonight?

Am I the star beneath the stairs?
Am I the ghost upon the stage?
Am I your anything?

Am I the star beneath the stairs?
Am I the ghost upon the stage?
Am I your anything?

I can't think and I can't speak
My mind is not my own
Feeling like my will is weak
Cannot find the strength to go on
I've Battled - I've fucking battled, man
I've Battled - I've battled, yeah
I've Battled - I've fucking battled, man
I've Battled you

I can't think and I can't speak
My mind is not my own
Feeling like my will is weak
Cannot find the strength to go on
I've Battled - I've fucking battled, man
I've Battled - I've battled, yeah
I've Battled - I've fucking battled, man
I've Battled you
