 AFI (The Blood Album) Lyrics

Dark Snow

I wanted to take you, from those robes to feel the cold. Undressing the blessings, feels like my afterlife, my afterlife. I go on, yet on that night I went down with the lights. Somehow, over and over. I go on, they carried me out when the lights went out. Over, I'm over. I wanted to keep you, but I was told you'd grown too old. For someone, who stayed young by bleeding light. My afterlife, is black and cold. I go on, yet on that night I went down with the lights. Somehow, over and over. I go on, they carried me out when the lights went out. Over, I'm over. I go on, yet on that night I went down with the lights. Somehow, over and over. I go on, they carried me out when the lights went out. Over, I'm over. 

Still A Stranger

There is misunderstanding, that there's a bliss beneath it all. That every time it's never ending, there is a kiss to change us all. It's in the dark, it's in your photo. That keeps on falling from the wall, tell me it's better way up there. I need you, I need you, I need you to tell me. Does it feel the same, after healing fame. And all the strange, strange, strange behavior? Does it make it worse? They mispronounce the hurt, I feel so strange, I'm still a stranger. Is there the misunderstanding that there's a hit of healing light? Tell me the cuts finally stop showing, before we kiss, again, the night. Here in the dark, tripping your picture. I keep rehanging on the wall, I need you better way up there. I need you, I need you better. Does it feel the same, after healing fame. And all the strange, strange, strange behavior? Does it make it worse? They mispronounce the hurt, I feel so strange, I'm a still a stranger. Does it feel the same? Would I feel like you? Because I sill feel strange. Are you a stranger too? (I'm still a stranger) I wish it mattered more (I'm still a stranger) But I never will be you, I always feel so f******** strange. Are you a stranger too? I'm still a stranger, I'm still a stranger. (Are you a stranger?) Does it feel the same, after healing fame. And all the strange, strange, strange behavior? Does it make it worse? They mispronounce the hurt, I feel so strange. I'm still a stranger, I'm still a stranger, I'm still a stranger. 

Aurelia

Aurelia, the new wolves await. Aurelia, they brought you new chains. They're barking in the wrong key, they're barking in the wrong key. They're barking in the wrong key, and you sing along. Aurelia, dream animals wills. Are real enough to make the slow kill. They're barking in the wrong key, they're barking in the wrong key. They're barking in the wrong key, and you sing along. Can you see at night? We can see at night. Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh. Can you see at night? We can see at night. Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh. And we're barking in the wrong key, they're barking in the wrong key. They're barking in the wrong key, and you sing along. And you sing along, and you sing along. They're barking in the wrong key, and you sing along. 

Hidden Knives

I'll scratch a mystery just please continue, on with your crime. It's not that I don't mind, or if you prefer. I'll pen a murder, to pass your time. Your empty time, I left a little something on the altar for you. So poorly I've hidden knives, you will find them, you will find them. My hidden knives, so poorly I've hidden knives. You will find them, you'll find them. Then we'll put pen to page, there is no mystery in my cadence. I've penned the end over smarter lines, but we both prefer romantic murder. To erase time and my, my empty life. I left a little something on the table for you, so poorly I've hidden knives. You will find them, you will find them. My hidden knives, so poorly I've hidden knives. You will find them, you'll find them. Then we'll put pen to page, oh, you know me well. (Oh, you know me well) Oh, you know me well. (Oh, you know me well) Well enough to find (oh, you know me well) Surely sharpened knives, I left a little something on the table for you. So poorly I've hidden knives, you will find them, you will find them. My hidden knives, so poorly I've hidden knives. You will find them, you'll find them. Then we'll put pen to page. 

Get Hurt

Here in the world of words unspoken we've broken down, let's take that defective heart apart. Out of the light, a final showing. We're closing down and to get that faulty heart to start, follow me down the road. I'm promising I will be a good boy, I can't let you see, I can't let you see. I can't let you see me sleeping, I can't let you see, I may have to leave. I can't let you see me sleeping, here in the world of words unspoken we've broken down. And to get that faulty heart to start, enter this house of empty movements. We're losing, every faint sense of who we were, we are. Follow me to this room, promise me you will keep your eyes closed. I can't let you see, can't let you see. I can't let you see me sleeping, I can't let you see, I may have to leave. I can't let you see me sleeping, I can't let you see. I can't let you see me, I can't let you see me sleep. With my mouth agape, don't watch me too closely. I can't let you see, I can't let you see. I can't let you see me sleeping, I can't let you see old blood on my teeth. I can't let you see me sleeping, I can't let you see me sleeping, I can't let you see me sleeping. 

Above The Bridge

It's too much to take, the thought of it all. Release me distraction. It's too much to take, the thought of my fall, shameful attraction. What happened to the place I'd hide? Who taught you how to sneak inside? It's too much to take, it's too much to take. I saw you step upon that bridge, I saw you walk across that bridge. I saw you float above that bridge, I saw you step upon that bridge. I saw you walk across that bridge, I saw you float above our bridge. And I've floated since that day, it's too much to take. The thought of it all, release me distraction. It's too much to take, the thought of my fall, shameful attraction. What happened to the place I'd hide? I taught you how to sneak inside, it's too much to take. It's too much to take, it's too much to take, it's too much to take. It's too. I saw you step upon that bridge, I saw you walk across that bridge, I saw you float above that bridge. I saw you step upon that bridge, I saw you walk across that bridge. I saw you float above our bridge, and I've floated since that day. I thought I saw the sky, I thought I saw the sky, I thought I saw the sky, behind your eyes. I thought I saw the sky, I thought I saw the sky, I thought I saw the sky. Behind your eyes. I saw you step upon that bridge, I saw you walk across that bridge, I saw you float above that bridge. I saw you step upon that bridge, I saw you walk across that bridge. I saw you float above our bridge, and I've floated since that day. 

So Beneath You

I don't believe that I can stay here, and watch them vilify my blood. I don't believe that you are with me, it's so beneath you, gazing up. I won't kneel, I won't bow. If you're there now. Strike me down, strike me down, strike me down, oh you've got nothing. There is none higher than his blood, and I won't serve anyone. No there is nothing above, and I don't serve anyone, anyone. There's nothing above. Deep in my heart, a disbeliever. Only inviting in the truth, you're in my heart, my disbeliever. As holy horror crushes you. I won't kneel, I won't bow. No one is there to. Strike me down, strike me down, strike me down. Except the faithful. There is none higher than his blood, and I won't serve anyone. No there is nothing above, and I don't serve anyone, anyone. I don't believe that I can stay here, and watch them vilify my blood. I don't believe that I can stay here, and watch them vilify your love, my love. I won't kneel, I won't bow. If you're there, God strike me down, strike me down. You won't. There is none higher than his blood, and I won't serve anyone. No there is nothing above, and I don't serve anyone, anyone. There's nothing above. 

Snow Cats

Am I coy enough? Not boy enough? You wanted me in this dress, or nothing else. You say I am, I am not scared enough. Prepared enough, you wanted me in distress. I've nothing left to fear, I am, I am here. I'll wait for you another night, (As you like) Dressed in Himalayan white, I'll wait for you some other night, (Dressed as you like) Dressed in Himalayan white. Am I loud too much? And proud too much? You wanted me in this stance, or on my back. You said I am, I am not red enough. In bed enough, I've given up on romance. I've nothing left for love, I am, I am here. I'll wait for you another night, (As you like) Dressed in Himalayan white, I'll wait for you some other night. (Dressed as you like) Dressed in Himalayan white, who's to say when the cats are away. What they say, what they say. We won't come back, who's to say when the cats are away. We won't come back, what they say, what they say. We won't come back, who's to say when the cats are away, we won't come back. What we say, what I say. I won't stay, I'll wait for you some other night. (Dressed as you like) Dressed in Himalayan white, I'll wait for you some other night. (As you like) Dressed in Himalayan white, I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you. (As you like) Dressed in Himalayan white. 

Dumb Kids

Up until the day you met the family, you'd never felt that pain begin to drain, oh. And up until the day you sold the family, you'd kept that fractured face from being shown. Let's play, turn to stone. Like you played with broken bones and now finally you can see me. Turn to stone. Up until the day you cracked the fountain, I'd never felt my life draining away, oh. Up until that day you tainted the water, you'd kept that average face from being shown. Let's play, turn to stone. Like you played with broken bones, and now finally you can see me. Turn to stone. Whoa, dumb kids, dumb kids. Were we only playing like dumb kids? Dumb kids, dumb kids. Let's play, turn to stone. Like you played with broken bones, and now finally you. Can see me, turn to stone. Were we only playing like dumb kids? Dumb kids. Were we only playing like dumb kids? Dumb kids, dumb kids. 

Pink Eyes

Not addicted to night, afraid of the morning. That I awake and feel like someone is here, but I'm laying right out, going darker and darker. When my skin peels away roses appear and I'll turn over, find me in the corner of the round room. Reaching into dawn to find night blooms. Beauty, how you blind! Give me a reason, without sight. I will ever find you, and how you blind! I know the reason, I can't stop touching my eyes. I'm allied to the night and warring the morning, I retreat into the dark if someone is near, you can lay me right out with the right kind of flower. When my senses slip away lilies appear. In the hot house, you'll find me. Staring at the end, again, in rapture. Beauty, how you blind! Give me a reason, without sight. I will ever find you, and how you blind! I know the reason I can't stop. I lick my fingers (lick my fingers) Make my tongue go numb (make my tongue go numb) I chew you from beneath my nails, (make my tongue go numb) Put your petals in my mouth, put your petals in my mouth. Beauty, how you blind! Give me a reason, without sight. I will ever find you, and how you blind! I know the reason, I can't stop touching my eyes. 

Feed From The Floor

Dust on dust in a new room, first impressions of the sun. Burnt the skin, now are buried. We've been staring up too long. Eyes gone dry, no more tears. Salt and shame upon my tongue, dust on dust, drying flowers. We've been coming here too long, here in the golden mirror, watch every word you say. Shatter and find a way, to cut like golden days. Flesh on flesh on the dry earth, our reflections are the same. Wearing dust, match the desert. Past is captured as it's made. In your image, like an actress. Lying to protect her age, dust on lens, dying flowers. We shall not return again. Here in the golden mirror, watch every word you say. Shatter and find a way, to cut like golden days. Watching as I fade, fading as I'm watching every word I say. Loving how I fade, fading like a flower knowing that the rain. That the rain may fall, too late, it can't revive my dying flowers. Oh, the rain may fall. Too late, this is our final hour. Here in the golden mirror, watch every word you say. Shatter and find a way, to cut like golden days. You're watching as I fade, fading as I'm watching every word I say. Loving how I fade, fading like a flower, knowing that the rain. Here in the golden mirror, watch every word you say. Shatter and find a way, to cut like golden days. 

White Offerings

If I were only, if I were only here. I'd try, I'd try to give you. Paper birds I made, but every one did fly. Never to return again, white offerings are all I bring. Welcome to white room, white room. White offerings are all I bring. I welcome you, I offer you this white room. If I were only, if I were only here. I'd try, I'd try to gift you. Paper birds I bring, and you'd set fire to my sky. Oh, but I will offer you. White offerings are all I bring, welcome to white room, white room. White offerings are all I bring, I welcome you, I offer you this white room. I can feel your color changing, I can feel your color changing, I can feel your color changing. I can feel it change, ah. White offerings, are all I bring. Welcome to white room, white room. White offerings are all I bring, I welcome you, I offer you this white room. White, white room. White room. White offerings are all I bring, I offer you this white room. 

She Speaks The Language

If you'd tell me it's real, I can make an appeal. To the controlling fragile child, let me speak. He won't make sense, until we reach the consequence. It's voluntary like you smile, as he quakes. Now I know, this must be love. Now I know, now I know. This, must be love. Now I know, this must be love. This must be love, oh. When you dared me to feel, when I made that appeal. To the incorrigible child, you stuffed his mouth with dirty rags. And tied his head within a bag, pitch black and silken like your smile. He's silent. Now I know, this must be love. Now I know (oh) now I know. This, this must be love. Now I know. Little drops upon my cuffs, (Little drops upon my cuffs) Let me know this must be love. Red, red, drops upon my cuffs. (Red, red, drops upon my cuffs) Let me know this must be love, now I know this must be. This must be love. Now I know, this must be love. Now I know (oh) Now I know. This, this must be love. Now I know this must be love. Little drops upon my cuffs. (Little drops upon my cuffs) This must be love. Red, red, drops upon my cuffs. (Red, red, drops upon my cuffs) This must be love. Let me know this must be love. Now I know this must be, this must be love. 

The Wind That Carries Me Away

Wrap the sky in your arms, hold it to your heart. Turn the dust to diamonds, and here we finally part. And here we finally part, and here we finally part. And the wind that brought me down, cannot stay. And the wind that carried me, carries me away, carries me away. Crush the dust in your head, hold it to your heart. Promises mean nothing until we finally part, and here we finally part. And the wind that brought me down, cannot stay. And the wind that carried me out, carries me away, carries me. And the blood (blood) runs (runs) Further into blind eyes. And the blood (blood) runs (runs) Faster than we can. And the wind that brought me down, cannot stay. And the wind that carried me out, carries me away, carries me away. Carries me away.
