100 Words (From Sing the Sorrow Sessions 2003) Songtext

von AFI

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
