AFI - Yurf Rendernmein Lyrics

Yurf Rendernmein Lyrics - A.f.i.

You keep on sayin' that you want to know me
But you never show me your true self.
How can you ever expect someone else to know you
When all you're going to do is just pretend
You're someone else?
You keep on sayin' that you want to show me that you're really different,
But you're just the same.
If you're really mindless, then there is no way that I can win, maybe
You're just one of them, Or maybe it's just a game.
You lie to yourself and remain alone.
I'm not exactly sure of your motivation.
I'm not exactly sure what you're tryin' to do.
All I'm really sure is that you're not too impressive
And you're wearing a mask that I can't see through.
Maybe you're not looking for acceptance,
Maybe you're striving for something more.
If it's status that you lust then why try to be one of us?
You're someone we'll never trust 'cause
We know the score.

AFI - Your Name Here Lyrics

Your Name Here Lyrics - A.f.i.

It's the same old situation, it seems it's coming around again.
I won't play the fool, I'm not screwing around.
I only play to win. I only want what I deserve so who are you
Trying to kid? You can call it like you see it,
But I call it like it is. I'm sick of shrugging off your petty little ways.
The names are always changing, in the end it's just a game.
We're running in a circle, a never ending chase.
You keep on stepping out of reach, but you never win the race.
No more waiting around, no more hanging around,
No more dragging me down.
Everything's so easy for you,
But I've struggled to get this far. I'm all alone in the fight.
What's wrong, who's right? I take it all to heart.
Your true colors start to show, you call yourself a friend.
The teams are drawn, you chose your side, you'll get yours in the end.
You play along to the same old song just as long as you can win.
When someone better comes along,
You're too cool to let them in.
So now I've got you wondering if I've got it in for you.
I'd like to tell you different, but I can't because it's true.

AFI - Words Spoke Before The Hidden Track Lyrics

Words Spoke Before The Hidden Track Lyrics - A.F.I.

(Gibson Casian)-- We held hands on the last night on earth. Our mouths filled with dust, we kissed in the fields and under trees, screaming like dogs, bleeding dark into the leaves. It was empty on the edge of town but we knew everyone floated along the bottom of the river. So we walked through the waste where the road curved into the sea and the shattered seasons lay, and the bitter smell of burning was on you like a disease. In our cancer of passion you said, "Death is a midnight runner."

(Davey Havok)-- The sky had come crashing down like the news of an intimate suicide. We picked up the shards and formed them into shapes of stars that wore like an antique wedding dress. The echoes of the past broke the hearts of the unborn as the ferris wheel silently slowed to a stop. The few insects skittered away in hopes of a better pastime. I kissed you at the apex of the maelstrom and asked if you would accompany me in a quick fall, but you made me realize that my ticket wasn't good for two. I rode alone.

(Hans Wold)-- You said, "The cinders are falling like snow." There is poetry in despair, and we sang with unrivaled beauty, bitter elegies of savagery and eloquence. Of blue and grey. Strange, we ran down desperate streets and carved our names in the flesh of the city. The sun has stagnated somewhere beyond the rim of the horizon and the darkness is a mystery of curves and lines. Still, we lay under the emptiness and drifted slowly outward, and somewhere in the wilderness we found salvation scratched into the earth like a message.

AFI - Who Said You Could Touch Me_ Lyrics

Who Said You Could Touch Me? Lyrics - A.f.i.

You don't know I am so,
You can not get close to me
And I don't know who you are,
So just leave me alone.
I know you can't believe
The anxiety you're causing me
And I know you can't believe
Your fake compassion I don't need.
Get away from me, You're standing too close.
Keep your hands off of me.
Keep away from me, Just leave me alone,
Who said you could touch me anyway?
Don't try to rub my shoulders
And don't try to hold my hand.
Don't try to give me a fucking hug.
You crawl on me as if I were your very best of friends.
I don't even know your name.
Get away from me, You're standing too close.
Keep your hands off of me.
Keep away from me, Just leave me alone,
Who said you could touch me anyway?
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. ah!

Who Said You Could Touch Me? [vinyl Only] Lyrics - A.F.I.

Who said you could touch me?
You don't know I am so, you can not get close to me and I don't know who you are,
so just leave me alone.
I know you can't believe the anxiety you're causing me
and I know you can't believe your fake compassion I don't need.

Get away from me, You're standing too close.
Keep your hands off of me.
Keep away from me, Just leave me alone, who said you could touch me anyway?

Don't try to rub my shoulders and don't try to hold my hand.
Don't try to give me a fucking hug.
You crawl.

Get away from me, You're standing too close.
Keep your hands off of me.
Keep away from me, Just leave me alone, who said you could touch me anyway?

AFI - Who Knew_ Lyrics

Who Knew? Lyrics - A.f.i.

Every single notion burned indelibly.
Every motion leaving scars behind.
All sincere emotion received skeptically
With no preparation for life eternal.
Every tear that's fallen brings one thousand floods.
Paper cuts are leaving blood behind.
All the silent laughter ringing piercingly.
I blink making my eyes mine.
Words in their worthlessness,
They should be weighted down,
But do I truly wish their cessation?
Fly.

AFI - Where We Used To Play Lyrics

Where We Used To Play Lyrics - A.F.I.

I might seem a bit peculiar
A bit not right
For though I try, I remain a stranger - not of this time.

I swear I'm almost there
Though I've been wandering for days.
I may be chasing ghost trains hoping they'll arrive
Where we used to play.
I may be hopping ghost trains for they terminate
Where we used to play in those days.

I know I'm with strangers I recognize and I realize my own disowned me. Were never mine.

I swear I'm almost there.

This is right where we used to play.

I may be chasing ghost trains hoping they'll arrive
Where we used to play.
I may be hopping ghost trains for they terminate
Where we used to play in those days.

I never will let it go until I find the place I called mine.
I never was truly meant for this time.

Whatever I Do Lyrics - A.F.I.

Can't accept me for what I am
They'll do whatever they fucking can to make life hell for me
Destroy what I believe
They don't give a shit what they do

They try to stop me, whatever I do
They try to stop me, whatever I do

It means nothing to them
They'll do whatever they fucking can to make life hell for me
Destroy what I believe
They don't give a shit what they do

They try to stop me, whatever I do
They try to stop me, whatever I do

AFI - We've Got The Knife Lyrics

We've Got The Knife Lyrics - A.F.I.

You've got your pretty face
You've got disarming eyes
You've got such social grace
I've got such pretty spies
I found you lost, misplaced
I loved that lovely guise

I said I'd try my luck and you said
"Well you don't, you don't have to try."

I forgot that night
What you said that night
"I had the most exquisite time."
Well you got that right
But it's not the whole story
I want it all
I court the loveliest of crimes
Say it, as if it were true
We've got the knife you left behind
Play it just like you do
I wanna hear you mean it
When you say I'm not next in line.
I court the loveliest of crimes
Save it cuz we've got the knife

You've got your pretty face
You've got your stunning glow
You've got exquisite taste
I've got the marks to show

You said you'd shoot the stars
But bullets make you blush
Turns out you like to play
Play with knives
And I hear that it gives you a rush

Well we've got the knife
Yeah we've got the knife
I've got the knife you left behind
Well we've got the knife
Now I want the whole story
I want it all
I court the loveliest of crimes
Say it, as if it were true
We've got the knife you left behind.
Play it just like you do
I wanna hear you mean it
When you say I'm not next in line.
I court the loveliest of crimes
Save it cuz we've got the knife

I thought you looked familiar
I'd seen your face long before that night
Now I wait, for you were no stranger
No stranger to taking a life

I court the loveliest of crimes
Say it, as if it were true
We've got the knife you left behind.
Play it just like you do
I wanna hear you mean it
When you say I'm not next in line.
I court the loveliest of crimes
Save it cuz we've got the knife

AFI - Wester Lyrics

Wester Lyrics - A.f.i.

I can feel you waiting for me as 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,
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.
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.
Beneath a dream, lost in a dream tonight.
Smile.

AFI - Weathered Tome Lyrics

Weathered Tome Lyrics - A.f.i.

They're coming 'round again. I've returned and they've been waiting.
Their aged offererings received and returned, passed through wet eyes.
I tremble as I feel them rolling in for, my sins, the old ghosts know.
So chilling as I feel them mourn within my soul. As the mourning grows.
Unfold before me. Turn back the page again.
Twenty four hours spent wishing that the day was never ending.
Shadows of glory shading my heart again.
Recall the summer when I left my heart to cool beneath the shadows I'm coming 'round again.
I've returned and no one's waiting.
I strain my eyes to see but it's so hard to read the old tags on the fallen walls.

AFI - Wake Up Call Lyrics

Wake Up Call Lyrics - A.f.i.

If I had my way I'd wish them away,
But I can't find the magic inside of me.
I'll give my best, cause I can give no more,
But your problems aren't solved so easily.
I'm not someone that you should run to.
I've been, Often, as broken as you,
More often than you'd like me to.
If I could heal all the pain that you feel,
I'd gladly cure all that ails you inside.
Unfortunately, I have no degree and I can not anesthetize.
I'm not someone that you should run to.
I've been, Often, as broken as you,
More often than you'd like me to.
Whoa!
I wish that I could help you.
Whoa!
I can't even help myself.
Whoa!
It seems you need a saving grace and a savior's something I'm not.
Right! whoa!
I wish that I could help you.
Whoa!
I can't even help myself.
Whoa!
It seems you need a saving grace and a savior's something I'm not.

AFI - Veronica Sawyer Smokes Lyrics

Veronica Sawyer Smokes Lyrics - A.F.I.

Oh my story is not the oldest of it's kind.
I was too touched to see you clearly,
Far too young to realize I had loved so dearly you,
Who's world I had designed,
But the sweet smoke came with mirrors
And it brought tears to my wide eyes.
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.

AFI - Values Here Lyrics

Values Here Lyrics - A.f.i.

[Originally by Dag Nasty]

What'd you say
When I said we'll be here through tomorrow
In my heart and in my head
Fear of failure
Fear of reprimand
Two big problems
I've never had
I never doubted what I had inside...what I have inside
Values here in my heart
And we'll be here through tomorrow
Every day's a brand new start
Fear of failure
Fear of reprimand
Two big problems I've never had
I never doubted what you had inside...what you have inside
Fear of failure
Fear of reprimand
Two big problems I've never had
I never doubted what we had inside...what we have inside

Two Of A Kind Lyrics - A.f.i.

Hangin' out and lingerin' around, cause you know where
I'll be found and I don't know how you do it.
This obsession I must admit has me shaken up a bit.
My solidarity now only comes in pairs.
I'd like to see you before you see me.
I'd like to see you leave.
Showered by torrential praise, why it is I can't explain.
Attempts to leave yeild no avail.
For me I don't know what's in store.
All I want is nothing more.
I don't deserve what I get, I have nothing to return.

AFI - Triple Zero Lyrics

Triple Zero Lyrics - A.f.i.

It burns! It burns! It burns my eyes and throat, but I need no antidote.
Gnawing and tearing at my insides -
Seething, keeping me alive - hatred poisons me through and through -
A sustenance - keeping me true. It's not too late.
It's never gonna be too late.
Embrace your hate. The pain! The pain!
The pain it crushes me. I gain animosity. Acid sweat and
Bloody tears, through it all I preserve.
Some sedate through indifference but I withheld zero tolerance.

AFI - Transference Lyrics

Transference Lyrics - A.F.I.

No room for doubt, accusations one to ten,
You've got my number, you've got my number
No wasting time, now, you've got me dialed
I'm one hundred eleven less than perfection

Pride has faltered now you're left crawling (keep your disease)
Sealed lips will not cease the calling (your disease)
Pride has faltered now you're left crawling (no shame)
Sealed lips will not cease the calling

Pathetic eyes, complimenting what's inside,
I've got your number, I've got your number
So appalled as I watch you purge
Now see if your fiction reads salvation

Pride has faltered now you're left crawling (keep your disease)
Sealed lips will not cease the calling (your disease)
Pride has faltered now you're left crawling (no shame)
Sealed lips will not cease the calling

No room for doubt, no pity is deserved
You've got my number, you've got my number
Coincidence, you've assessed correct
I'm one hundred eleven less than perfection

Pride has faltered now you're left crawling (keep your disease)
Sealed lips will not cease the calling (your disease)
Pride has faltered now you're left crawling (no shame)
Sealed lips will not cease the calling
