The Lost Souls by: AFI
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.
Look what you've done to me now, you've made me perfect.
If you can't stand upon the earth then I will meet you on the other side.
When you blink do you only find the misery weighs down your eyes?
Then take my hand and sleep with me.
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.
The Despair Factor by: AFI
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. Do I hear the hollow sound, footsteps resounding on this frozen ground, or the familiar disappointment of the echoes of my own? Somehow I ended up here in between, where there is always the comfort of knowing I'll never be seen 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.
Morningstar by: AFI
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 a ghost upon the stage? Am I your anything? I saw a star beneath the stairs glowing bright before descent and in the morning there is nothing left but what's inside of me. 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?...
The Boy Who Destroyed The World by: AFI
Once there was a boy who had a vibrant glow, but as it goes, someone took it from him. One day through the rain i heard him meekly moan, he said, "will you wrap your arms around me, as i'm falling?" Remember when, remember when we were all so beautiful? But since then we've lost our glow. They said it hurt their eyes but he would never know that they were filled with regret as their own dissipated. He said "i now feel more desperately alone, even though they wrapped their arms around me as i'd fallen." They said it hurt their eyes, but he would never know that they were claiming regret as their own...as their own dissipated.
3 1/2 by: AFI
Open wounds in the palms of my hands,
festering through infectious time.
I feel so faint as my life spills over you.
Backstep over glass as I repent.
I fear I cannot prevent myself
from spilling your life all over me.
I'm so sick, so sick of myself.
Mother, say you'll pray for me.
I'm so sick, so sick of myself.
I'm premature in my decay.
Shards of glass swimming in my eyes.
A small voice in the back of my mind
that's whispering words I never want to hear.
I pray that you won't hesitate, as you watch me degenerate,
to reach in my wounds and extract all of my fear.
My suffocation, asphyxiation.
I've been choking on my own blood.
A Single Second by: AFI
Oh my God! My God this can't be happening!
God tell me, tell me this isn't real!
I can't believe all that I have foreseen is finally happening.
I cannot for a single second stand the way I feel.
I always knew, I always saw it coming.
Enveloped now, encased by my worst fear.
I've never felt the nausea of longing to feel nothing,
I never wanted to cease to exist, just disappear.
Fear memories are all that lie ahead.
Never have I felt so lost.
Memories dull my senses.
Fear tragedy is all that lies ahead.
Never have I felt so dead.
Once felt so warm, now I'm fucking freezing.
I am the once embraced abandoned one.
I raised my eyes up to the light in hopes of finding healing;
No relief was mine, I was burnt, by the sun.
Coin Return by: AFI
I have slipped and I have fallen,
so far down I can't get out.
Overwhelmed by my doubt.
Things I said I'd never do I've done.
Those I said I'd never be I've become.
I have broken - I'm still breaking -
Cracked and wrecked, beyond repair.
I can see that no one cares.
Forgotten.
Recalled.
Smacks me in the face
every time I fall.
I cannot disregard,
with each new fall
I hit twice as hard.
Would you be there for me? I would.
I would be there for you. I would.
Would you look up to see? I would.
Falling forward and looking up.
Salt For Your Wounds by: AFI
There's a tear in my heart where the blood ran out.
There's a tear in my heart where the love ran out.
I thought we worked, pushed toward the same ends,
I'll never be so quick to trust again.
Disenchanted, disgusted,
I regret that I trusted.
I put my faith. My faith in you,
you poisoned me through and through.
I though we both shared the same injuries.
Now I've found it's you who injures me.
My heart is cracked from being left out in the cold.
I know you'll pay for what you've taken - tenfold.
Disenchanted, disgusted,
I regret that I trusted.
I put my faith. My faith in them,
they twisted the knife further in.
