These are all excerpts from songs that I love...specific lyrics that ring a certain truth and a certain feel. I love them all. This is why I am so obsessed with music- I wish I could express myself as well as these people do. I know there are a lot by AFI, but Davey is an AMAZING lyricist! His lyrics really strike a chord with me. Enjoy!
you didn't kiss me
how can I fall asleep?
you didn't wish me very well
to say the least
do you miss me?
if you said so
should I believe you?
you didn't kiss me
hate your laugh
hate your lies
hate the chance I took on you
hate the past
in your eyes
hate the war you put me though
hate myself
for believing
this could come to anything at all
- You Didn't Kiss Me by Amanda Kravat and Mary Me Jane
another circle I can run around.
another dark corner I can get lost in.
all fall down.
-Twenty One by Amanda Kravat and Mary Me Jane
Can't bear to face the truth
So sick he cannot move
And when it hurts he takes it out on you
And lately I'm not the only one
I say never trust anyone
Always the one who has to drag her down
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around
The trick is to keep breathing (x2)
She knows the human heart
And how to read the stars
Now everything's about to fall apart
I won't be the one who's going to let you down
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around
I won't be the one who's going to let you down
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around
The trick is to keep breathing
-The Trick Is To Keep Breathing by Garbage
I tell you how I feel, but you don't care
I say tell me the truth, but you don't dare
You say love is a hell you cannot bear
And I say gimme mine back and then go there - for all I care
I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream
You got your head in the clouds and you're not at all what you seem
This mind, this body, and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways
So don't forget what I told you, don't come around, I got my own hell to raise
-Sleep to Dream by Fiona Apple
For a change, I'll refrain from hiding all of me from you
- The Interview by AFI
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.
-Love Like Winter by AFI
Will the flood behind me put out the fire inside me?
-The Missing Frame by AFI
Part your lips a bit more, I'll swallow your fear....You blushed and smile and said you would stay. One more time steal my breath, I'll feed you the sky.
-Kiss and Control by AFI
Am I beautiful? Am I useable?
-The Killing Lights by AFI
Bring your secrets to me. Just give me your hand 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? Yes, I fall. Do you want to fall into me? Every time that I try to pacify I fall. Silence can you hear me? Press me to your lips and I'll suck the poison out. Who will heal me? If you keep killing me how can I keep absolving? Your sins into me, begin the poisoning. Time, we're not waiting. Time, we're no one.
-37mm by AFI
Look what I've built. It shines so beautifully! Now watch as it destroys me.
-The Leaving Song Part II by AFI
Cold in life's throws. I'll fall asleep for you. Cold in life's throws. I only ask you turn away. Cold in life's throws. I'll fall asleep for you. Cold in life's throws. I only ask you turn as they seep into me, oh, my beautiful one now. Your sins into me. As a rapturous voice escapes, I will tremble a prayer and beg for forgiveness. Your sins into me.
-Silver and Cold by AFI
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.
-Death of Seasons by AFI
Just like romantic verses, just like a joyous end, just like a memory it twists me....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.
-This Celluloid Dream by AFI
Twenty-six years and seems like I've just begun to understand my intimate is no one... This is my line. This is eternal. How did I ever end up here? Discarnate. Preternatural...Twenty-six years end. Still speaking in these tongues. Such revelations while understood by no one...Give me something real.
-...But Home is Nowhere by AFI
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. 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.
-Prelude 12/21 by AFI
