AFI

Raise high, monolithic, statues so fragile As they fall
I am, ever enthralled
Gaze lie and smirk in time
Your arrogance will suit you well
'Til fashion, is dispelled

AS WAVES OF PLASTIC FAME, go out of fashion
YOU'RE GOING OUT GOING OUT, forever unknown
THESE WAVES OF PLASTIC FAME, go out of fashion
YOU'RE GOING OUT GOING OUT, forever unknown, unknown

From above, a rain of ashes,(anathema)DESCENDS ON ANATHEMA
I will remain, forever will remain
From below, in my seclusion,(Paper wings)LOOK UP TO THE SKY TO SEE
See wings, AND WATCH THEM BURN

Without habitation, you'll never find a soul inside
No life, but nothing's died
No lights but quite the show, just as long as no one ever knows
All motion, is pantomime

AS WAVES OF PLASTIC FAME, go out of fashion
YOU'RE GOING OUT GOING OUT, forever unknown
THESE WAVES OF PLASTIC FAME, GO OUT OF FASHION
YOU'RE GOING OUT GOING OUT, forever unknown, unknown

From above, a rain of ashes,(anathema)DESCENDS ON ANATHEMA
I will remain, forever will remain
From below, in my seclusion,(Paper wings)LOOK UP TO THE SKY TO SEE
See wings, AND WATCH THEM BURN

Dancing in the rain of descending ash
Dancing on your grave, I'll see you (all falling)
Dancing in the rain of descending ash
Dancing in your dust, I'll see you (all falling)

STOP!

I'd stop it, had you a heart(YOUR,HEART)
I'd stop it, had you a heart(YOUR,HEART)


From above, a rain of ashes,(anathema)DESCENDS ON ANATHEMA
I will remain, forever will remain
From below, in my seclusion,(Paper wings)LOOK UP TO THE SKY TO SEE
See wings, AND WATCH THEM BURN

From above, a rain of ashes, DESCENDS ON ANATHEMA
I will remain, forever will remain
From below, in my seclusion,(Paper wings)LOOK UP TO THE SKY TO SEE
See wings, AND WATCH THEM BURN.

Walked away, heard them say
Poison hearts will never change
Walked away again

Turned away in disgrace
Felt the chill upon my face
Cooling from within

It's hard to notice gleaming from the sky
When you're staring at the cracks
It's hard to notice what is passing by
With eyes lowered

You walked away, heard them say
Poison hearts will never change
Walk away again

All the cracks they lead right to me
And all the cracks will crawl right through me
All the cracks, they lead right to me
And all the cracks will crawl right through me

And I fell apart

As I walked away, heard them say
Poison hearts will never change
Walked away again

Turned away in disgrace
Felt the chill upon my face
Cooling from within

What once did exist, now is meaningless
And doesn't it seem funny, how soon you did forget?
All the words have now lost their weight
But I remember, I remember

Desperation, devastation
All I truly know
Is isolation, self damnation
All light that I'd own was shed and worthless now

What I knew was wrong, one who lived is gone
Guess it was just an echo when you would sing my song
All the notes you'd forgotten now
You left abandoned, I remember

Desperation, devastation
All I truly know
Is isolation, self damnation
All light that I'd own was shed and worthless now

I can hate myself more, more than anyone
Will you join me?

I know you know that this tortures me
Have I created the suffering, show me
Or do you happily cut, further in?
To sever what's left inside, that binds me

Now all I feel is desperation, devastation
All I truly know
Is isolation, self damnation
All light that I'd own was shed and worthless now

Desperation, devastation
All I truly know
Is isolation, self damnation
All light that I'd own was shed and worthless, worthless now

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'd need me
This is what I thought, so think me naive
I'd 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

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

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

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 burned 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 burned away
Under the summer rain, burn
We burned away

Under the summer rain
I burned 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
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 burned away
Under the summer rain, burn
We burned away

Under the summer rain, burn
I burned away
Under the summer rain, burn
You turned away

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 to 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, ride that dirty ride

That is turning so fast now
I cannot, cannot hold on
But at this pace
Who would, oh, who'd want to?

All the same, I remain
The one to 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
My name

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

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

"I will wait for you"
She said, "endlessly"
"I will wait for you"
So spoke misery

And I will bite
Straight through
As I wait for you, dear
Endlessly

One at a time,
Constants becomes surreal
One at a time,
Heart attacks are concealed
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 till 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 till 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...
Oh Oh Oh
I'll let you break it up
Oh Oh Oh
If you don't wake me up
Oh Oh Oh
But if you tear it
Oh Oh Oh
We can't repair it
Oh Oh Oh
So please don't wake me
Oh Oh Oh
Till someone cares,
Now no one cares...cares

I'll let you tear it up
If you don't wake me up
Cause it's apparent
That you don't care and
It's nothing to me
Cause I don't care
Now no one cares

I, I came here by day,
But I left here in darkness
And found you, found you on the way.

But 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 you 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

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!

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, lost in the arms of our misery
Oh, we dance in misery, and we dance on, and we dance on
Swept off our feet by our 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 separate
As breath to breath, as I suffocate

Oh, we dance in misery, and we dance on, and we dance on
Oh, we dance in misery, lost in the arms of our misery
Oh, we dance in misery, and we dance on, and we dance on
Swept off our feet by our 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, lost in the arms of our misery
Oh, we dance in misery, and we dance on, and we dance on
Swept off our feet by our misery, we're swept into the shadows

I cannot leave here, I cannot stay
Forever haunted, more than afraid
Asphyxiate on words I would say
I'm drawn to a blackened sky as I turn blue

There are no flowers, no, not this time
There will be no angels gracing the lines
Just these stark words I find

I'd show a smile but I'm too weak
I'd share with you, could I only speak
Just how much this hurts me

I cannot stay here, I cannot leave
Just like all I loved, I'm make believe
Imagined heart, I disappear
Seems no one will appear here and make me real

There are no flowers, no, not this time
There will be no angels gracing the lines
Just these stark words I find

I'd show a smile but I'm too weak
I'd share with you, could I only speak
Just how much this hurts me

I'd tell you how it haunts me
I'd tell you how it haunts me
Cuts through my day and sinks into my dreams

I'd tell you how it haunts me
Cuts through my day and sinks into my dreams
You don't care that it haunts me

There are no flowers, no, not this time
There will be no angels gracing the lines
Just these stark words I find

I'd show a smile but I'm too weak
I'd share with you, could I only speak
Just how much this hurts me

Just how much you...

Of late, it's harder just to go outside
To leave this dead space, with hatred so alive

Writhing with sickness
Thrown into banality
I decay, killed by the weakness
But forced to return

Turn it off

I watch the stars as they fall from the sky
I held a fallen star and it wept for me, dying
I feel the fallen stars encircle me
Now as they cry

Out there, so quickly, grows malignant tribes
Post-human extinction excels unrecognized

Feeling surrounded
So bored with mortality
I decay, all of this hatred
Is fucking real

Turn it on

I watch the stars as they fall from the sky
I held a fallen star and it wept for me, dying
I feel the fallen stars encircle me
Now as they cry

It won't be all right
Despite what they say
Just watch the stars tonight as they
As they disappear, disintegrate

And I disintegrate
Cause this hate is fucking real
And I hope to shade the world
As stars go out and I disintegrate

It won't be all right
Despite what they say
Just look to the sky
As stars go out

Hope unknown, sometimes just waking is surreal
I pass right through the nameless ones
I know that hope's unknown, sometimes the water feels so real
As I walk through it fills my lungs, my god I'm drowning

This day never seems to end
This pain, never
This day never seems to end
This rage I cannot let go

I hear them calling my name
I feel them gnawing out holes
All throughout my flawless soul

I hear them calling my name
I feel them gnawing out holes
All throughout my flawless soul

So alone, sometimes I swear that I can hear
The taunting of the voiceless ones
I fear that I alone fear those who finally ceased to feel
That they're alone inside this place, I am the misplaced

This pain, never
This day never seems to end
This rage I cannot let go

I hear them calling my name
I feel them gnawing out holes
All throughout my flawless soul

I hear them calling my name
I feel them gnawing out holes
All throughout my flawless soul

Now every face looks familiar
Found every face would melt away until now
Everyone, do you know?
I know your deception

Now every face looks familiar
Found every face would melt away until now
Everyone, do you know?
I know your deception

I hear them calling my name
I feel them gnawing out holes
All throughout my flawless soul

I hear them calling my name
I feel them gnawing out holes
All throughout my flawless soul

Warn your warmth to turn away
Here it's December every day
Press your lips to the sculptures and surely you'll stay
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 warmth from years before

She exhales vanilla lace
I barely dreamt her yesterday, 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 warmth from years before

Love like winter

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 warmth from years before

Let's admire the pattern forming, murderous filigree
I'm caught in the twisting of the vine
Go ascend with ivy climbing, ignore and leave for me
The headstone crumbling behind

I can't help my laughter as she cries
My soul brings tears to angelic eyes

Let's amend the classic story, close it so beautifully
I'll let animosity unwind
Steal away the darkened pages hidden so shamefully
I'll still feel the violence of the lies

I can't stand my laughter as they cry
My soul brings tears to angelic eyes
And miles away my mother cries
Omnipotence, nurturing malevolence

Hey Miss Murder, can I?
Hey Miss Murder, can I?
Make beauty stay if I
Take my life?

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?

Dreams of his crash won't pass
Oh, how they all adored him
Beauty will last when spiraled down

The stars that mystified
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?

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
Who would ever let us put our filthy hands upon it?

Hey Miss Murder, can I?
Hey Miss Murder, can I?
Make beauty stay if I
Take my life?

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, one of us

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, 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
Hope to destroy the outside
It will alleviate, elevate me

Like water flowing into lungs
I'm flowing through these days
Like morphine cuts through, through deadened 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

I know what died that night
It can never be brought back to life
Once again, I know

I know I died that night
And I'll never be brought back to life
Once again, I know

I know I died that night
And I'll never be brought back to life
Once again, I know

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, beat by beat
You can hear when the heart stops, I saved the pieces
When it broke, and ground them all to dust

I, I came here by day,
But I left here in darkness
And found you, found you on the way.

But 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 you 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

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!

Will you join me in this dance, this dance of misery?

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, lost in the arms of our misery
Oh, we dance in misery, and we dance on, and we dance on
Swept off our feet by our misery, we're swept into the shadows

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

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

As they disappear, disintegrate

And I disintegrate
Cause this hate is fucking real
And I hope to shade the world
As stars go out and I disintegrate

It won't be all right
Despite what they say
Just look to the sky
As stars go out

I can remember a place I used to go
Chrysanthemums of white, they seemed so beautiful
I can remember, I searched for the amaranth
I'd shut my eyes to see

Oh, how I smiled then, so near the cherished ones
I knew they would appear, saw not a single one
Oh, how I smiled then, waiting so patiently
I'd make a wish and bleed

While I waited I was wasting away
While I waited I was wasting away

I can remember, dreamt them so vividly
Soft creatures draped in white, light kisses gracing me
I can remember when I first realized
Dreams were the only place to see them

While I waited I was wasting away
While I waited I was wasting away
While I waited I was wasting away
Hope was wasting away, faith was wasting away, I was wasting away

I never, never wanted this, always wanted to believe
I never, never wanted this, how could I have become?
I never, never wanted this, from the start I'd been deceived
I never, never wanted this, how could I have become?

I never, never wanted this, I always wanted to believe
I never, never wanted this
I never, never wanted this, from the start I'd been deceived
I never, never wanted this

Inside a crumbling effigy
But you promised
So dies all innocence
But you promised me

While I waited I was wasting away
While I waited I was wasting away
While I waited I was wasting away
Hope was wasting away, faith was wasting away, I was wasting away

Raise high monolithic statues so fragile as they fall
I am ever enthralled
Gaze, lie and smirk in time, your arrogance will suit you well
'Til fashion is dispelled

As waves of plastic fame go out of fashion
You're going out, going out forever unknown
These waves of plastic fame go out of fashion
(These waves of plastic fame are drying up and I smile)
You're going out, going out forever unknown
(Because you're dying to become forever unknown, unkown)

From above a rain of ashes descends
Anathema I will remain, forever will remain
From below, in my seclusion
Look up to the sky to see paper wings and watch them burn

Without habitation, you'll never find a soul inside
No life, but nothing's died
No lights, but quite the show (Just as long as no one ever
knows
All motion is pantomime)

As waves of plastic fame go out of fashion
You're going out, going out forever unknown
These waves of plastic fame go out of fashion
(These waves of plastic fame are drying up and I smile)
You're going out, going out forever unknown
(Because you're dying to become forever unknown, unkown)

From above a rain of ashes descends
Anathema I will remain, forever will remain
From below, in my seclusion
Look up to the sky to see paper wings and watch them burn

Dancing in the rain of descending ash
Dancing on your grave, I'll see you all falling
Dancing in the rain of descending ash
Dancing in your dust, I'll see you all falling
I'd stop it, had you a heart (your heart)
I'd stop it, had you a heart (your heart)

From above a rain of ashes descends
Anathema I will remain, forever will remain
From below, in my seclusion
Look up to the sky to see paper wings and watch them burn

Calling tears from deep inside, oh you're so exquisite
And in the mirror, all midnight eyes
Oh, if I could remain, but it's just a visit
All midnight eyes read vacancy

Twisted, twisting

To the lovely dancing lights, I begged, may I cut in?
But they never stopped playing their song
Of a joyous song they sing, I've heard whispers
On a freezing note, I resonate

Just like romantic verses, just like a joyous end
Just like a memory, it twists me
Just like romantic verses, just like a joyous end
Twist, twisting me

You land as lightly as the new snow, cinematic
Onto the melting boy, and melt away
You light as gently, you're so cinematic
Bathed in your radiance, I melt

In the glitter, in the dark, sunk into velvet
Praying this will never end
In the shadow of a star, in static pallor
I realized I never began

Just like romantic verses, just like a joyous end
Just like a memory, it twists me
Just like romantic verses, just like a joyous end
Twist, twisting me

You land as lightly as the new snow, cinematic
Onto the melting boy, and melt away
You light as gently, you're so cinematic
Bathed in your radiance, I melt

All the colors upon leaving, all will turn to grey
All the colors upon leaving, all will turn to grey

All grey, all the colors
All grey, upon leaving
All grey, all will turn to grey

Twisting me

You land as lightly as the new snow, cinematic
Onto the melting boy, and melt away
You light as gently, you're so cinematic
Bathed in your radiance

You land as lightly as the new snow, cinematic
You land as lightly as the new snow, and melt away
You land as lightly as the new snow, cinematic
Bathed in your radiance, I melt

Twenty-six years and seems like I've just begun
To understand my
My intimate is no one
When the director sold the show, who
Bought its last rites?
They cut the cast, the music and the lights

This is my line, this is eternal
How did I ever end up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
My prayers to disappear

Absent of grace, marked as infernal
Ungranted in dead time left me disowned
To this nature so unnatural
I remain alone

Twenty-six years end, still speaking in these tongues
Such revelations, while understood by no one
When the new actor stole the show, who
Questioned his grace?
Please clear this house of ill-acquired taste

This is my line, this is eternal
How did I ever end up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
My prayers to disappear

Absent of grace, marked as infernal
Ungranted in dead time and left me disowned
To this nature so unnatural
I remain alone

Give me
Something
Give me
Something
Give me
Something
Give me
Something
Give me
Something
Give me
Something real

I lay strewn
Across the floor
Can't solve
This puzzle
Everyday, another small piece
Can't be found
Oh

I lay strewn
Across the floor
Pieced up
In sorrow
The pieces are lost, the pieces don't fit
Pieced together incomplete
And empty

This is my line, this is eternal
How did I ever end up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
My prayers to disappear

Absent of grace, marked as infernal
Ungranted in dead time and left me disowned
In this nature so unnatural
I remain alone

This is my line, this is eternal
How did I
End up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
My prayers to disappear

Absent of grace, marked as infernal
Ungranted in dead time and left me disowned
To this nature so unnatural
I remain alone

Hey Miss Murder, can I Hey Miss Murder, can I Make beauty stay if I take my life? Woah 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? Dreams of his crash won’t pass Oh, how they all adored him. Beauty will last when spiraled down. The stars that mystified He left them all behind. And how his children cry He left us all behind. Hey Miss Murder, can I Hey Miss Murder, can I Make beauty stay if I take my life? 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 flowing 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 their filthy hands upon it? Hey Miss Murder, can I Hey Miss Murder, can I Make beauty stay if I take my life? Hey Miss Murder, can I Hey Miss Murder, can I Make beauty stay if I take my life?

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 burned 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 burned away
Under the summer rain, burn
We burned away

Under the summer rain
I burned 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
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 burned away
Under the summer rain, burn
We burned away

Under the summer rain, burn
I burned away
Under the summer rain, burn
You turned away

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 favor I'm 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
I flee to, I flee to decemberunderground, as you exhale
I breathe in and sink into the water underground
And I'll grow pale without you

Warn your warmth to turn away Here it's December, everyday Press your lips to the sculptures And surely you'll stay (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 (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 Oh Oh Love like winter winter 3 4 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

Every night devise new heights in genocide
Lover, I am loveless
All my friends and I toast health and suicide
Lover, I am lonely

Were you holding hands when
My palms bled?

Oh, I will be all right, 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 till, till the faceless die
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 future's bright without me
Spend some time walking the line
Spend some time walking the line

So stay sweetly numb
Remain lifeless, love
So stay sweetly numb
Maintain lifeless love

Stay sweetly numb
Remain lifeless, love

Were you holding hands when
My palms bled?

Oh, I will be all right, just use me, just use me
The future's bright without me
Spend some time walking the line
Spend some time walking the line

One at a time, constants become surreal
One at a time, heart attacks are concealed
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 till someone cares
Now no one cares

One at a time, I watched 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 till 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?

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 till someone cares
Now no one cares

I'll let you tear it up, if you don't wake me up
Cause it's apparent that you don't care and
It's sunk into me, cause I don't care
Now no one cares

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 wrists while restraining
You blushed and smiled and said you would stay
One more time steal my breath, I'll feed you the sky, I will show you how.
Steal the glamor 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

All our hearts

"We all wanna 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 and death. Hold me, and tell me "We'll burn like stars. We'll burn as we fall. Watch as city lights dance for us."

City lights, like rain, dance and explode
Fall upon debutantes
Reeling from nights that kiss and control
All of our broken hearts

Five AM 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, they remember
Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut you up
Cut you up

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

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? (Every time that I)
Yes, I fall (Every time 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? (Every time that I)
Yes, I fall (Every time 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
Time, time, time
We're no one

I fall, I fall

Do you fall too? (Every time that I)
Yes, I fall (Every time that I)
Do you want to (Try to pacify)
Fall into me? (fall into me, fall into me)

Into me

We are no one

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

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

"I will wait for you"
She said, "endlessly"
"I will wait for you"
So spoke misery

And I will bite
Straight through
As I wait for you, dear
Endlessly

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 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 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.

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 spotlit 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

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 you knees to drive
I'll hide these words
They're only yours to find
You pressed your mouth to mine and said they'd call us stars
Then 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

Everything is 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
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 I even speak
I'd warn that you should leave
Before you 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
Oh
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 cannot breathe.
(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
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.

(I cannot breathe)
I cannot breathe.
(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
(For the last lie
And the heartbreak
For the first time)
I could not take
Til I made you

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

For the last lie
And the heartbreak
For the first time
I could not take
(For the last lie
And the heartbreak
For the first time)
I could not take
Til I made you cry
Til I made you cry
Til I made you
Cry
Oh
Til I made you cry

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 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 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
