The song “Of Greetings And Goodbyes” is a part of Afi’s album of – Art Of Drowning (2000)

Lyrics for Of Greetings And Goodbyes

Now ending discreetly, just like a hidden sin,
as I go under please tuck me in.
Make me invisible.
This hidden explosion calls for a wandering cast with no direction.
Enter all monsters let us twist another fairy tale.
Go kill the lights, we’ll glow till morning comes.
I’ll say goodnight and bow to everyone.
Then we go under.
The beauties are sleeping as fruit just rots away.
Today go hungry.
Let it begin.
Make me invincible.
There was a weeping I carried down today, a sigh worth keeping.
Deep within divinity let’s star another secret show.
No need to worry it is just another monster.
No need to fear here in the secret show.
No need to worry I am just another monster.
In you, I’ll see me, in the secret show.

The song “Sacrifice Theory” is a part of Afi’s album of – Art Of Drowning (2000)

Lyrics for Sacrifice Theory

Hear one thousand screams.
Hear one thousand voices.
A solitary echo.
Feel one thousand pains,
But one is receiving a bloody invitation.

Do you want to feel the warmth?
To taste the life, to taste the life
I want to taste the life.
To taste the life, to taste the life flow.
Go, Go, Woah, Go

The song “Ever And A Day” is a part of Afi’s album of – Art Of Drowning (2000)

Lyrics for Ever And A Day

Lie in comfort of sweet calamity with nothing left to lose.
Lie in the darkness, I’m slowly drowned to sleep
nothing left to lose.
Three tears I’ve saved for you.
I’d retrace the steps that lead me here but nothing lives behind me.
So I lie in this field bathed in the light that loves me,
with nothing left to lose.
Three tears I’ve saved for you.
Will you be my beloved?
Will you help me to get through?
Will you be my destruction?
Will you help me to be through?

The song “The Nephilim” is a part of Afi’s album of – Art Of Drowning (2000)

Lyrics for The Nephilim

Swing through sadness, tears of joy.
Curse the sunlight.
Arsenic for the girls and boys.
Drink the madness, smoke so coy.
Smile injection.
Serum of a will destroyed.
The seasons change without me.
I remain in shadows growing wings.
The spirit song still surrounds me, in refrain, in shadows growing wings.
Like an angel with two broken wings, reach the sky again.
Like a devil, meant for better things, I will find my place on high.

The song “The Lost Souls” is a part of Afi’s album of – Art Of Drowning (2000)

Lyrics for The Lost Souls

If you can’t stand upon the water I will see you on the ocean floor.
When you blink do you only find the misery between the lines?
Then take my hand and walk with me.
Come to me, your sanctuary,
I’ll gladly accept the gift that I’ve been granted.
If you feel fine, then give it just a little time.
I’m sure you’ll contract my disease.

What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
Done

The song “Midnight Sun” is a part of Afi’s album of – Black Sails In The Sunset (1999)

Lyrics for Midnight Sun

What went down on the side of the road?
What I saw at the edge of the sea.
Only those elements time cannot wear,
and they follow.
What seeped out through the cracks in time,
what sucks out the color in me?
What awaits beyond infinity?

Like the dumb brutes, who in a secret lair
Lie wrapt in stupid slumber for a space…
Time creeps at so burdensome a pace.

The song “God Called In Sick Today” is a part of Afi’s album of – Black Sails In The Sunset (1999)

Lyrics for God Called In Sick Today

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 lines.
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.

The song “At A Glance” is a part of Afi’s album of – Black Sails In The Sunset (1999)

Lyrics for At A Glance

No haven now as I watch it pour from everywhere.
Just like the storm that has come out of thin air.
Gentle caresses, just as paper thin -frail and only- lack the strength to hold.
What if could go to sleep for days, would you count the hours,
or would your restlessness consume fading memories of me?
Fall into open arms that offer their protection.
Quick to deny that their open to deceit.
Long to believe that support will never cease. Bitter and lonely, those they’ve left before.
The vibrant heart so quickly growing old, the warmest eyes so quickly growing cold.
Just a glance for they don’t care to see what becomes of me.

The song “Weathered Tome” is a part of Afi’s album of – Black Sails In The Sunset (1999)

Lyrics for Weathered Tome

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.

The song “The Last Kiss” is a part of Afi’s album of – Black Sails In The Sunset (1999)

Lyrics for The Last Kiss

Hung in your room, swaying, hoping only that you’ll see.
All by myself, I’m alone in such poor company.
The deeper I think, the deeper I seem to sink, I can’t stop the insects that are feeding,
pull the needles from beneath my skin. I broke myself, shattered, tied a bow around every piece.
You’ll love the eyes. Have they always shown so vacantly? The more I show the less you’ll want to know.
I can’t stop the insects that are feeding, pull the needles from beneath my skin.
Now I’m on display. I am becoming. Hurt myself today. It’s all for you.
Do you like what I’m becoming? Cut myself today. It’s all for you.
I part the night, flashing, approaching as I watch you flee.
Pushed through your panes. Seems I’ve landed quite uncomfortably.
But as I pass through souls of broken glass I can’t stop the insects that are feeding.
Pull the needles from beneath my skin.

Now I’m on display. I am becoming. Hurt myself today. It’s all for you.
Do you like what I’m becoming? Cut myself today. It’s all for you.
It’s all for you.

The song “No Poetic Device” is a part of Afi’s album of – Black Sails In The Sunset (1999)

Lyrics for No Poetic Device

I’ve been dreaming.
I was lucid.
I was dreaming blood was seeping from my pores.
Who’d believe that it was all my own decision?
Cracked faces and medicated smiles.
Set fire to my home before I turned and walked back in.
For every needle open my chest and insert ten pins.
I just anticipate what awaits when I awake… break.
I die in my daydreams.
The gardens have all been overgrown.
I pushed my hand through the thorns to crush the final rose.
A deadly secret only I suffer to know.
I can’t eradicate what awaits when I awake… break.
I die in my day dreams.

The song “The Prayer Position” is a part of Afi’s album of – Black Sails In The Sunset (1999)

Lyrics for The Prayer Position

Now! Peel the skin back from the flesh. Steal the flesh back from the starving static minds.
From nature we must stray, to clarity we’ll climb.
Deadly impulse seems so natural, just look beyond it and we’ll find a brand new evolution.
Here begins a brand new line. And in the distance there’s a gathering, that no longer seems so far away.
Pushed to our knees so let us pray, and all together we’ll bring the real rain.
Watch all that’s wasted wash away, so let it come. Our will be done.
Stature retrieved, regain our form. Break free from instinct that’s left us all confined.
From nature we must stray to clarity we’ll climb. Tradition ingrained, now impermissible.
Now comes a call for all to find a brand new evolution. Here begins a brand new line.
I can’t help but fear, look to my species and tremble, to think that God is just…
And in the distance there’s a gathering that no longer seems so far away.

The song “Lower It” is a part of Afi’s album of – Black Sails In The Sunset (1999)

Lyrics for Lower It

An invitation excluding no one,
so you walk right in and destroy the fu*king place.
you’ve lost your right to be part of my family.
the family that welcomed you, you joined, and left in disgrace.
your flag was flaming (was flaming), your flag was flaming before it ever started flying.
your flag was burning, was burning down everyone in true salute.
sense of commitment. A sense of pride.
i heard you say that we shared a destiny.
now it is plain to see you’ve got no sense at all.
the name that once honored you disgraced and made a mockery.
your flag was flaming (was flaming), your flag was flaming before it ever started flying.
your flag was burning, was burning down everyone in true salute.
i could always see… i could always see the smoke from miles away.
i could always see the weakness in your eyes.
far away i feel the lies while the sky is burning.
your flag was flaming (was flaming), your flag was flaming before it ever started flying.
your flag was burning, was burning down everyone in true salute.
you will always be unwanted… unwanted.
you will always be unwanted… unwanted… unwanted.

The song “Clove Smoke Catharsis” is a part of Afi’s album of – Black Sails In The Sunset (1999)

Lyrics for Clove Smoke Catharsis

Lean against the night and laugh as I try to scale the walls.
Ingnored futility fills the air. You’re only there to watch me fall…
If only pure sweetness was offered, why’s this bitter taste left in my mouth?
If I could catch my breath just to exhale, I’d know that I held it in to long…
From above comes a faint smile, a new vantage such a view. Familiarity know disowned.
Just sit and stare as I walk away.

The song “Narrative Of Soul Against Soul” is a part of Afi’s album of – Black Sails In The Sunset (1999)

Lyrics for Narrative Of Soul Against Soul

[To the wounded:]
I have seen the self image they’ve forced you to reduce to shattered glass,
with the only remaining value lying in its jagged edges.
But the few who warrant waking for await their recognition.
No fear of death but with fear of life, your weakness kills everyone.
So live. Angels for everyone. For no lack of searching I can’t seem to find one.
Angels in everyone. What of all their promises? Can’t seem to find much more than lies.
Angels in anyone. A permanent solution to a temporary problem.
Before I’d lay me down to rest, I’d throw away everything to live.

The song “Malleus Maleficarum” is a part of Afi’s album of – Black Sails In The Sunset (1999)

Lyrics for Malleus Maleficarum

Open my eyes as I submerge and I won’t deny what I’ve been since birth.
I’ll die drowned by your standards.
Breathe in the life of the summmer’s death as the orange and red breathe their first breath,
so welcome as they’re burning through. We all begin to burn.
Autumn’s flame dance’s in my eyes Set alight for all we’ve learned.
My ashes falling. My skin is singed but it heals my heart and with glowing pride I’ll wear my scars.
I’m honored by your hatred. Leaves fall we arise again, and the end impending, it will begin.
So welcome as it’s burning through. Ashes fall and I’m rising up again.
Ashes fall. Ashes fall. Ashes fall as we all arise.

The song “Exsanguination” is a part of Afi’s album of – Black Sails In The Sunset (1999)

Lyrics for Exsanguination

Welcome the whole new pain and take comfort in what you’ve become.
I waved as I passed myself along the way.
I have arrived so unashamed but my reflection no longer seems the same.
It seems much dimmer now… it seems so dim. Just stumble and fall into a world that’s over crowded.
And you will find me. Won’t recognize me; and I won’t recognize myself.
I’ve arrived so unashamed, but all my senses no longer seem the same.
I can sense everything. My sight’s so clear.
In an instant, my life just slipped away, I fought for life, the whole time you were holding me down.
You watched me dying. Holding me down, you brought my rebirth.

The song “Porphyria Cutanea Tarda” is a part of Afi’s album of – Black Sails In The Sunset (1999)

Lyrics for Porphyria Cutanea Tarda

I know… It’s here we retreat, for where else could we go?
To great disbelief there is somewhere we belong.
In negative space supposed flaws go unseen, but our strength is shown.
In darkness together we’re bringing the light. In darkness together we are forming.
The fire tomorrow is born of the night, in darkness together we ignite.
From all we’ve been shunned but we found a new home.
To great discontent it is greatness that we own.
In luminous eyes, reflections of fear absolute…
All hate what we’ve become. In darkness together we’re bringing the light.
In darkness together we are forming. The fire tomorrow is born of the night, in darkness together we ignite.
Through our will we bring fear. Left to burn beneath the sun.
We are one. When daylight forms blinding walls where do we go?
Days arid are scorching all. When daylight forms blinding, binding walls where do we go?
The darkness calls.

The song “Strength Through Wounding” is a part of Afi’s album of – Black Sails In The Sunset (1999)

Lyrics for Strength Through Wounding

Through our bleeding, we are one.
Through the darkness breaks the light.
Through the light unending pain.
Deify the wretched ones till the darkness comes again.

The song “Totalimmortal” is a part of Afi’s album of – All Hallow’s (1999)

Lyrics for Totalimmortal

Hope unknown. Sometimes just waking is surreal.
I walk 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.
The rage I can not let go.

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.
Now every face, it looks familiar…
then every face would melt away until…
now everyone, do you know, I know your deception?

The song “The Boy Who Destroyed The World” is a part of Afi’s album of – All Hallow’s (1999)

Lyrics for The Boy Who Destroyed The World

Once there was boy who had vibrant glow, but as it goes, someone took it from him.
One day through the rain I heard him meekly moan, he said
“Will you wrap your arms around me as I’m falling?”
Remember when Remember when Remember when we were all so beautiful? Never
Again Never Again But since then we’ve lost our glow.

They said it hurt their eyes, but he would never know that they were claiming
regret as their own…
their own dissipated.

The song “Halloween” is a part of Afi’s album of – All Hallow’s (1999)

Lyrics for Halloween

Bonfires burning bright
Pumpkin faces in the night
I remember halloween
Dead Cats hanging from poles
Little Dead are out in droves
I remember Halloween
Brown Leafed Vertigo
Where skeletal life is known
I remember Halloween
This day anything goes
Burning bodies hanging from poles
I remember Halloween

Candy apples and razor blades
Little dead are soon in graves
I remember Halloween
This day anything goes
Burning bodies hanging from poles
I remember Halloween

The song “Fall Children” is a part of Afi’s album of – All Hallow’s (1999)

Lyrics for Fall Children

As the cries start to penetrate still air, this day we celebrate.
The wait now ends.
From four corners smoke plums into reddened sky.
In the face of latern light, my destiny flies.
This day so hallowed, from here to forever its will I will follow.
Tonight will come to life.
Deadened branches stirred by whispers in the wind.
Fall children fill the streets at dusk, at last, it all will begin.

The song “The Hanging Garden” is a part of Afi’s album of – A Fire Inside (1998)

Lyrics for The Hanging Garden

Creatures kissing in the rain,
shapeless in the dark again.
In the hanging garden, please don’t speak.
In the hanging garden, no one sleeps.
In the hanging garden.
In the hanging garden.
Catching haloes on the moon,
gives my hands the shapes of angels.
In the heat of the night, the animals scream.
In the heat of the night, walking into a dream…
Fall, fall, fall, fall into the walls.
Jump, jump out of time.
Fall, fall, fall, fall out of the sky.
Cover my face as the animals cry,
in the hanging garden.
In the hanging garden.
Creatures kissing in the rain,
shapeless in the dark again.
In a hanging garden, change the past.
In a hanging garden, wearing furs and masks…
Fall, fall, fall, fall into the walls.
Jump, jump out of time.
Fall, fall, fall, fall out of the sky.
Cover my face as the animals die.
In the hanging garden.
as the animals die.
Cover my face as the animals die.
In the hanging garden.
In the hanging garden.
In the hanging garden.
In the hanging garden.
In the hanging garden.

The song “Over Exposure” is a part of Afi’s album of – A Fire Inside (1998)

Lyrics for Over Exposure

I have seen ten roses bleed,
seen new petals fall,
I have felt my soul tear.
I have felt nothing at all.
Watched what was vibrant
fade as shadows fall.
I can see it’s been done,
all that was pure has been eradicated.
I can see, it’s all done.
Nothing can erase the damage done.
I have seen ten liars love,
seen two lovers lie,
seen youth, blinded, smiling.
I have seen deceit handed down.
From the highest height, below the lowly.
I can see it’s been done,
all that was pure has been eradicated.
I can see, it’s all done.
Nothing can erase the damage done.
I have seen beasts bathed in glory,
tread across the angels as they crawl.
Take it all away.
Regress to nothing.
Can someone please take
these images from my mind?

The song “3 1/2” is a part of Afi’s album of – A Fire Inside (1998)

Lyrics for 3 1/2

why am i this way?
tell me why?
why am i this way?
why?
open wounds in the palms of my hands,
festering through infections time.
I feel so faint as my life spills over you.
back step over glass as I repent.
I fear I cannot prevent myself
from spilling your life all over me.
go! I’m so sick, so sick of myself.
Mother, say you’ll pray for me.
I’m so sick, so sick of myself.
I’m premature in my decay.
I’m so sick, so sick of myself.
Mother, say you’ll pray for me.
I’m so sick, so sick of myself.
Shards of glass swimming in my eyes.
A small voice in the back of my mind
that’s whispering words I never want to hear.
I pray that you won’t hesitate,
as you watch me degenerate, to reach
in my wounds and extract all of my fear.
yeah! I’m so sick, so sick of myself.
Mother, say you’ll pray for me.
I’m so sick, so sick of myself.
I’m premature in my decay.
I’m so sick, so sick of myself.
Mother, say you’ll pray for me.
I’m so sick, so sick of myself.
My suffocation, asphyxiation.
I’ve been choking on my own blood.
My suffocation, asphyxiation.
I’ve been choking on my own blood.
I’m so sick, so sick of myself.
Mother, say you’ll pray for me.

Well I got something to say,
I killed your baby today,
And it, doesn’t matter much to me,
as long as it’s dead.

Go!

The song “Triple Zero” is a part of Afi’s album of – Shut Your Mouth And Open Your Eyes (1997)

Lyrics for Triple Zero

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.

The song “The Devil Loves You” is a part of Afi’s album of – Shut Your Mouth And Open Your Eyes (1997)

Lyrics for The Devil Loves You

Do you understand what I’m trying to say? Have you ever felt?
Ever felt this way? Tainted with rage you can’t
drain away or it will cost you your life. I couldn’t care more.
Do you ever absorb what shouldn’t be touched? Have you ever
cared? Ever cared this much?
Do you think it is I who is out of touch, or are you too scared to think at all?
I couldn’t care more.
As your friends fall does it tear your heart?
Do tears fill your eyes as your world falls apart?
Do you notice at all,
or are you sailing sublime? Am I completely alone?

The song “Today’s Lesson” is a part of Afi’s album of – Shut Your Mouth And Open Your Eyes (1997)

Here is your lesson for today, you better listen up real fu*king good!

My world is wonderful and no one could ever, ever hurt me.

That’s why, right now I love you
Soo fu*k you.

The song “Salt For Your Wounds” is a part of Afi’s album of – Shut Your Mouth And Open Your Eyes (1997)

Lyrics for Salt For Your Wounds

There’s a tear in my heart where the blood ran out.
There’s a tear in my heart where the love ran out. I thought
we worked, pushed toward the same ends,
I’ll never be so quick to trust again.
Disenchanted, disgusted, I regret that I trusted.
I put my faith.
My faith in you, you poisoned me through and through.
I though we both shared the same injuries.
Now I’ve found it’s you who injures me.
My heart is cracked from being left out in the cold.
I know you’ll pay for what you’ve taken – tenfold.
Disenchanted, disgusted, I regret that I trusted.
I put my faith.
My faith in them, they twisted the knife further in.

The song “Three Second Notice” is a part of Afi’s album of – Shut Your Mouth And Open Your Eyes (1997)

Lyrics for Three Second Notice

Submission- My back hurts from bowing down.
Attraction – Was once so strong now can’t be found.
Affection – One gift i wish you would return.
Frustration – as i accede.
i do not deserve your frigidness, such callousness, yet i persist.
What’s wrong with me?
I told you “you can’t be replaced”, you showed me I’m disposable.
Spit in my face, as I submit, so I quit!

The song “The New Patron Saints And Angels” is a part of Afi’s album of – Shut Your Mouth And Open Your Eyes (1997)

Lyrics for The New Patron Saints And Angels

I’ve seen the light that emanates from you,
and it makes me feel proud, a voice of reason above the muffling crowds.
Such will to live and you’ve got so much to give, long lost sincerity.
Lost in a world that’s been scorched to black.
Lost in myself until I finally find.
A guide in you, and gratitude is mine, I admire the way you shine.
Stare down the day from which others shield their eyes,
with complete clarity, and no trace of apathy.
So positive, and your heart you freely give, long lost vivacity.
Lost in a world that’s been scorched to black.
Lost in myself until I finally find.
A guide in you, and gratitude is mine, I admire the way you shine.

The song “Coin Return” is a part of Afi’s album of – Shut Your Mouth And Open Your Eyes (1997)

Lyrics for Coin Return

I have slipped and I have fallen so far down I can’t get out.
Overwhelmed by my doubt.
Things I said I’d never do I’ve done.
Those I said I’d never be I’ve become.
I have broken – I’m still breaking – cracked and wrecked, beyond repair.
I can see that no one cares. Forgotten.
Recalled. Smacks me in the face every time I fall.
I cannot disregard, with each new fall I hit twice as hard.
Would you be there for me? I would.
I would be there for you. I would.
Would you look up to see?
I would. falling forward and looking up.

The song “Lower Your Head And Take It In The Body” is a part of Afi’s album of – Shut Your Mouth And Open Your Eyes (1997)

Lyrics for Lower Your Head And Take It In The Body

Drowned in flames is where I can be found,
my nose broke from being smashed into the ground.
What a waste, this place I call my home.
Escape this place and break out on my own! I’m still reaching.
Try to slap me down, but I’ll still
hold. In the fray is where I can be found.
My head is bruised from always being knocked around.
What a fight, this life I call my own!
Escape this life, and break out on my own! I’m still reaching!
Try to slap me down, but I’ll still hold.
I’ll hold my own.

The song “Third Season” is a part of Afi’s album of – Shut Your Mouth And Open Your Eyes (1997)

Lyrics for Third Season

It’s gonna take you by surprise as it rises.
Can you feel the pulse?
Can you feel the heat rising from below?
Can you feel the energy gaining strength, oh so slowly?
But i’ll wait…i’ll wait…till the seasons change.
i’ll wait…i’ll wait… till the fall comes.
And i’ll give you a mirthless laugh.
Can you see the signs?
Can you see the changing of the winds?
Can you sense the stillness in the air?
Calm will remain…oh so shortly.
But i’ll wait…till the seasons change.
i’ll wait…till the fall comes.

The song “Let It Be Broke” is a part of Afi’s album of – Shut Your Mouth And Open Your Eyes (1997)

Lyrics for Let It Be Broke

I live in truth, complacently.
Where’s the threat you see in me?
Am I the cause of your self consciousness?
You scream at me
’cause I can’t ignore the destructiveness that you support,
’cause my life’s contrary to yours.
No soft words from my mouth.
A glazed look in your eyes.
I live in the world of reality, you comfort yourself with lies.
I will release myself, I will detach myself from you.
I will detach myself from your kind.
I’ve seen your life but I can’t see how it is
that you can be so content in your own ignorance.
Its been so dark for so long now a new light has come along,
illuminating all, so shut your eyes.
I won’t tell you what you want to hear,
I will show you what’s real. i will, will defy.

The song “PH Low” is a part of Afi’s album of – Shut Your Mouth And Open Your Eyes (1997)

Lyrics for PH Low

So quickly draining away.
If you could only hear all the things you used to say.
Consumed now by what you knew
was poisonous, quenching your thirst for life (for life.)
Will you die for me?
Will you live for me?
Kill aspirations away.
Embrace a dream that was a nightmare only yesterday.
True friends forgotten and all hopes been traded in,
exchanged for what.
For what?
All at once, all is lost.
All is lost.

The song “A Single Second” is a part of Afi’s album of – Shut Your Mouth And Open Your Eyes (1997)

Lyrics for A Single Second

Oh my God! My God this can’t be happening!
God tell me, tell me this isn’t real!
I can’t believe all that I have
foreseen is finally happening.
I cannot for a single second stand the way I feel.
I always knew. I always saw it coming.
Enveloped now, encased by my worst fear.
I’ve never felt the nausea of longing to feel nothing,
I never wanted to cease to
exist, just disappear. Fear memories are all that lie ahead.
Never have I felt so lost. Memories dull my senses.
Fear tragedy is all that lies ahead.
Never have I felt so dead.
Once felt so warm, now I’m fu*king freezing.
I am the once embraced abandoned one.
I raised my eyes up to the light in hopes of finding healing;
no relief was mine, I was burnt, by the sun.

The song “Three Reasons” is a part of Afi’s album of – Shut Your Mouth And Open Your Eyes (1997)

Lyrics for Three Reasons

Where were you? Say you were gone?
Well, ask me and I’ll swear you were there all along.
Another place? Another state?
At any rate, I can’t relate.
There’s no two ways, you’re a disgrace.
Drown down your fear, suffocate every spark of clarity.
Your weakness: sickens me, saddens me, strengthens me.
There’s no way to free responsibility.
Who’s to blame? Who’s in the wrong?
The truth from which you hide – it was you all along.
You were there, you didn’t care,
and your heart and mind were self impaired.
Now, all that’s left is our despair.

The song “Keeping Out Of Direct Sunlight (An Introduction)” is a part of Afi’s album of – Shut Your Mouth And Open Your Eyes (1997)

Lyrics for Keeping Out Of Direct Sunlight (An Introduction)

We are the ones with the radiating eyes.
We are the Ones who have a fire inside.
We are the ones only we can recognize.
We’ve been rejected (we’ve been rejected)-
Suffered the ignorance, suffered the selfishness,
been pushed so far down now comes our time to surface.
Turn from the light, that made them all go blind.
We’ve been protected (we’ve been protected)
ALL ARISE TO WHAT WE BRING,
OUTSTRETCHED HANDS, UNFOLDED WINGS.
We’ve hurt ourselves, and I feel the sting of
broken hearts and burning wings…

Lyrics for Love Is A Many Splendored Thing

Ah!
You think you’ve got the looks,
you think you’ve got the fashion.
You thought you’d have me wanting more,
but don’t like my reaction.
You think you’re really something.
You’re nothing to me now.
You thought you’d keep me coming
without ever thinking how.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.
You think you’re really special.
You think I think you’re best.
You think you’re really something?
You’re no better than the rest.
You’ve got everything you wanted.
Don’t let yourself be fooled.
You thought that you could play the game,
but I just changed the rules.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.
you!
Why do I hate you.
You think you’ve got the looks,
you think you’ve got the fashion.
You thought you’d have me wanting more,
but don’t like my reaction.
You think you’re really something.
You’re nothing to me now.
You thought you’d keep me coming
without ever thinking how.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you.

The song “Rolling Balls” is a part of Afi’s album of – Very Proud Of Ya (1996)

Lyrics for Rolling Balls

Bowling is my life and it has always been my dream
to be a member of the local bowling team, but I’m not very good.
The guys won’t accept me, I guess I try the girls team
and lose a part of my anatomy then balls will roll.
I think I want to be…
Balls will roll, I think it’s time,
it’s time for me to be a girl.
It’s a very big decision, it’s going to change my life.
I’ll have to make all new friends, I’m gonna lose my wife.
But that’s okay with me. There’s something in my soul.
It doesn’t matter who’s the better man, it the man who gets to bowl.
Balls will roll. I think I want to be…
Balls will roll, I think it’s time, it’s time for me to be a girl.
Go! I’ve made my decision, I’m gonna make the change.
There will be rolling balls, I’m gonna play my game.
It’s gonna be so great. It’s gonna be the best,
besides, I’ve always told myself I look good in a dress.
I’m gonna cut ‘em off, I’m gonna cut ‘em off, I’m gonna cut ‘em off.
I’ll never have to cough.
Now I’ve made my change and I’ve fulfilled my dream.
I’m now a member of the women’s bowling team.
I hope I throw a strike, cause I’ll never score again.
My first game is tomorrow, I will go to play and then…
Balls will roll. I think I want to be…
Balls will roll, I think it’s time, it’s time for me to be.

Lyrics for 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 fu*king 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!

The song “Modern Epic” is a part of Afi’s album of – Very Proud Of Ya (1996)

Lyrics for Modern Epic

Yeah I can see it coming.
I’ve seen it all before.
I’ve seen it once or twice
and now I hear it call to board.
This train is moving fast
but how long is it gonna last.
I guess that we’ll find out
as well go in through the out door.
Don’t, don’t ever let go.
Don’t, don’t ever let go.
Is this the start?
Is this the end?
New faces ask, “what’s happening?”
I bite my tongue and hold my breath
and tell them, “the same old thing.”
I don’t know what’s going on,
but I don’t wanna do it wrong.
Don’t wanna contradict myself
with all the words I sing.
Don’t, don’t ever let go.
Don’t, don’t ever let go.
Let’s go! Don’t, don’t ever let go.
Don’t, don’t ever let go.
Don’t ever let go.
Don’t ever let go.

The song “Yurf Rendenmein” is a part of Afi’s album of – Very Proud Of Ya (1996)

Lyrics for Yurf Rendenmein

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 that you’re someone else?
You keep on sayin’ that you want to show me
that you’re really different, but your 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. You lie to yourself. You lie to yourself and remain alone.
You lie to yourself. You lie to yourself. You lie to yourself and remain alone.
Remain alone. 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 wearin’ 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.
You lie to yourself. You lie to yourself. You lie to yourself and remain alone.
You lie to yourself. You lie to yourself. You lie to yourself and remain alone.
Remain alone. You remain alone. Oh!
I can’t see through. I can’t see you. I can’t see through. I can’t see you.

The song “Shatty Fatmas” is a part of Afi’s album of – Very Proud Of Ya (1996)

Lyrics for Shatty Fatmas

Don’t care to hear what you heard.
I won’t believe a single word.
Don’t care to hear what you say.
I won’t believe it anyway.
You relay fiction, facts you avoid.
You’re just like a fu*king tabloid,
you can never seem to get your information straight.
Tell me something I don’t know.
Your information’s fu*king faux.
Don’t you have somewhere to go?
Your mouth is quick, your mind is slow.
Don’t want to know what you know.
I just want you to fu*king go.
Don’t want to know what you believe.
I just wish that you would leave.
You try to cajz everyday, I wish that you would get away.
You can never seem to get your information straight.
Tell me something I don’t know.
Your information’s fu*king faux.
Don’t you have somewhere to go?
Your mouth is quick, your mind is slow.
Go! When you try to hang around,
I’d really like to push you down.
When you try to understand,
I don’t really think that you can.
You relay fiction, facts you avoid.
You’re just like a fu*king tabloid,
you can never seem to get your information straight.
Tell me something I don’t know.
Your information’s fu*king faux.
Don’t you have somewhere to go?
Your mouth is quick, your mind is slow.

The song “Take The Test” is a part of Afi’s album of – Very Proud Of Ya (1996)

Lyrics for Take The Test

When it comes the time that you have recognized your line
and you realize the path that you will travel through your life.
be sure that what you want is exactly what you’re trying to get,
or you’ll be speeding toward a cliff without realizing that…
Before you know, the haze makes you slow.
Ignore your future, forget your past.
before you know, cars start to crash.
There are so many choices, the opportunities abound.
Just be sure to keep things straight and be sure to stand your ground.
Let nothing shade your vision, even fight to keep it clear.
Let no one change what’s right for you, for when you start to veer.
Before you know, the haze makes you slow.
Ignore your future, forget your past.
before you know, cars start to crash.
Before you know, the haze makes you slow.
Ignore your future, forget your past.
before you know, cars start to crash.
Cars start to crash.
Before you know, the haze makes you slow.
Ignore your future, forget your past.
before you know, cars start to crash (Cars start to crash).

The song “Consult My Lover” is a part of Afi’s album of – Very Proud Of Ya (1996)

Lyrics for Consult My Lover

You’ve got something to say, or so you say to me, then you receive a blank stare.
You’ve got something to say of importance and gosh, that’s really good to hear.
I’m proud of you, so proud of you, I’m proud of you, I’m very proud of you.
I’m proud of you, so proud of you, I’m proud of you, I’m very proud of you.
You’ve got some S.P. Something to show to me. Well, I have seen it before.
I can’t compete, I can’t impress you. I guess I’ll show you the door.
I’m proud of you, so proud of you, I’m proud of you, I’m very proud of you.
I’m proud of you, so proud of you, I’m proud of you, I’m very proud of you.
I’m proud of you, so proud of you, I’m proud of you, I’m very proud of you.
I’m proud of you, so proud of you, I’m proud of you, I’m very proud of you.

The song “Charles Atlas” is a part of Afi’s album of – Very Proud Of Ya (1996)

Lyrics for Charles Atlas

You’ve seen it all a thousand times (you’ve seen it all a thousand times),
you’ve heard it all before (you’ve heard it all before).
You’ve danced the steps, you wrote the rhymes.
So passe, too many times, but you’re hollow at the core.
Two generations passed you by (two generations passed you by).
You think there’s nothing left (you think there’s nothing left).
But look around and you will see what our world has grown to be.
We are the now, not the past.
Can’t you even try to see the strength with which we’ve built ourselves to be.
I know that you will never be able to destroy what it’s meant to me.
You’ve never seen the likes of us (you’ve never seen the likes of us).
We are your novelty (we are your novelty).
A brand new trend with mass appeal, don’t like the truth, don’t like what’s real.
You’re jumping into something you’ll never understand.
You think that it’s a passing phase (you think that it’s a passing phase).
It’s our entire life (it’s our entire life).
You revel in rebellious ways, rebellion that the media made.
When you change your channel, we’ll smash your t.v.
Can’t you even try to see the strength with which we’ve built ourselves to be.
I know that you will never be able to destroy what it’s meant to me.
Can’t you even try to see the strength with which we’ve built ourselves to be.
I know that you will never be able to destroy what it’s meant to me.

The song “Fishbowl” is a part of Afi’s album of – Very Proud Of Ya (1996)

Lyrics for Fishbowl

I’m here today, just like every yesterday.
Heavy heat, and the sheets stick to my skin.
Can’t get away from nothingness.
I try to get up, but I have to give into the force that is keeping me down.
I overcome gravity, I look outside.
A cat cries out, trapped upon a window sill,
but its crying’s drowned out by my screaming inside.
What will it take? I wonder what it’s like exposed outside,
would I be safe? When will it break.
Try to look out, I see reflection I just want to break.
Sirens moan. They’re forever crying… someone’s probably dying.
The sound sticks inside my head. Talk to myself, I’m company,
but who is to say if nothing is said?
Two windows stare back at me.
Three stories high and nothing is new.
I may sit, but someday I’ll stand.
I’ll muster up the will and fire myself through.
What will it take? I wonder what it’s like exposed outside,
would I be safe? When will it break.
Try to look out, I see reflection I just want to break.
What will it take? I wonder what it’s like exposed outside,
would I be safe? When will it break.
Try to look out, I see reflection I just want to break.

The song “Aspirin Free” is a part of Afi’s album of – Very Proud Of Ya (1996)

Lyrics for Aspirin Free

There’s no hope of helping us, we’ve only just begun.
We’re youth eternal, nothing more to become.
A thousand lights are burning bright.
Give day a darkened light.
Always burning from both ends.
We’re proud of reputations we all own.
Together forever. Rejected but never alone.
Together forever.
I’d purify the world with one primal scream, but no one would listen.
Keep dark secrets to myself, because no one else will talk to me.
It’s hard for me to comprehend, they couldn’t understand
all the thoughts going through our heads.
With a smile they tore us up, now look what we’ve become.
Finally we are numb. We’re proud of reputations we all own.
Together forever. Together forever alone.
Together forever.
I’d purify the world with one primal scream, but no one would listen.
Keep dark secrets to myself, because no one else will talk to me.
I’d purify the world with one primal scream, but no one would listen.
Keep dark secrets to myself, because no one else will talk to me.
No need to. No! No need to feel.
I’ve got a nothingness and that’s all that’s real.
No need to cut the numbness inside.
No need to. No! No need to hear.
What you’ve got to say means nothing at all.
I’ve got no distance left to fall.
I’d purify the world with one primal scream, but no one would listen.
Keep dark secrets to myself, because no one else will talk to me.

The song “Soap-Box Derby” is a part of Afi’s album of – Very Proud Of Ya (1996)

Lyrics for Soap-Box Derby

I’m not angry, I’m just amused at your quest for attention through your self abuse.
The only response that you get for your plea is sorely less than sympathy.
What reason is there to be alive? When the word is against you how can you survive?
All your friends are apathetic at best, and your entire life is a total mess.
Give it a fu*kin’ rest.
You can’t, you can’t feel me.
I feel I’m scarred so deep.
No one could ever need me.
Could you please leave me alone?
I’m sorry to hear that your world’s sinking fast and you’ve lost your stable ground
and I’m sorry to add to your disappointment, but I won’t be brought down.
I’m not angry, I’m just amused at all the dramatics you love to use,
but one thing I have noticed that is strange to me is that not happy unless you’re unhappy.
you’re not content until you’re brought down,
and you’re always so alone because you can’t be found.
You’re soul is black and you’re filled with hate.
Home much more can you possibly take?
Give me a fu*kin’ break.
You can’t, you can’t feel me.
I feel I’m scarred so deep.
No one could ever need me.
Could you please leave me alone?
You can’t, you can’t feel me.
I feel I’m scarred so deep.
No one could ever need me.
Could you please leave me alone?
I’m sorry to hear that your world’s sinking fast and you’ve lost your stable ground
and I’m sorry to add to your disappointment, but I won’t be brought down.

The song “This Secret Ninja” is a part of Afi’s album of – Very Proud Of Ya (1996)

Lyrics for This Secret Ninja

Just like cellophane, you try to cling so tight to me,
but your attempt’s in vain. You’ve less sincerity than the plastic.
Paper in the rain. The print appears so bright to me.
The words remain. I hold it to the light, I see right through.
So eager to say, “hello”, but you don’t know me.
You just know what you see. Pay the price to see the show but you don’t own me.
Before you knew would you have felt the same?
Just when I’m inspired, you drain the drive right outta me,
and even when I’m tired you push me to perform for your amusement.
Just like raging fire, you burn what’s left inside of me and to fulfill your desire,
I’d give you light till I burned out.
So eager to say, “hello”, but you don’t know me.
You just know what you see. Pay the price to see the show but you don’t own me.
Before you knew would you have felt the same?
No!
Just when you start to smile, I look into your eyes
and see your veiled denial to express any real emotion.
Just wait around a while, you’ll lose what you once had for me.
I’ll be out of style, I’ll be discarded with the warmth you once feigned.
So eager to say, “hello”, but you don’t know me.
You just know what you see. Pay the price to see the show but you don’t own me.
Before you knew would you have felt the same?

The song “Theory Of Revolution” is a part of Afi’s album of – Very Proud Of Ya (1996)

Lyrics for Theory Of Revolution

Don’t want to think about it, but I see it every day.
Corrupted innocence just doesn’t seem to fade away.
Spoiled so young, you know it’s bound to last,
but when you’re living in the city, you’ve gotta grow up fast.
And it makes me sick.
God, it makes me sick.
And it makes me sick.
God, it makes me sick.
Don’t want to think about it, but I see it every day.
If you want to buy affluence, your soul you’ll have to pay.
Wasting away the prime of your life,
but it’s been done that way for years, so you know it must be all right.
And it makes me sick.
God, it makes me sick.
And it makes me sick.
God, it makes me sick.
It’s just not right!
Don’t wanna think about it, but I see it every day.
With every sip and every shot, mind and bodies fade away.
Friends are all gone, and memories don’t last,
but when you’ve fallen off the wagon, you seem to fall so damn fast.

The song “Advances In Modern Technology” is a part of Afi’s album of – Very Proud Of Ya (1996)

Lyrics for Advances In Modern Technology

Every night I walk the streets, awake while everyone else sleeps.
I’m giving unease to anyone I meet.
My generosity can never run out, because I give a gift from what’s within myself.
No hope at all. Take nothing from nothing and you’ll have nothing left.
I can’t recall. I can’t recall a moment in my life when life was at it’s best.
Everyone avoids my stare and no one cares to ever dare to look into the eyes of what they most fear.
And they’re taught to fear, to fear no evil.
And they know no fear, they’ve learned to love themselves.
No hope at all. Take nothing from nothing and you’ll have nothing left.
I can’t recall. I can’t recall a moment in my life when life was at it’s best.
Forever unlucky, cause I’ll own tomorrow. Forever unwanted, outcast today.
I’m not mislead, I’ve got no one to follow. Everywhere to go, no place to stay.
No hope at all. Take nothing from nothing and you’ll have nothing left.
I can’t recall. I can’t recall a moment in my life when life was at it’s best.

The song “Perfect Fit” is a part of Afi’s album of – Very Proud Of Ya (1996)

Lyrics for Perfect Fit

What was it I was thinking, or was I even thinking at all?
When I think of what I thought back then, then I’m ashamed,
and I’m appalled that I gave up all I was so easily.
Living your life is not for me.
I won’t be sedated, I won’t be sedated!
Give me a little taste and I know I won’t want more.
I won’t be sedated, stability is overrated.
Give me the disorder I adore.
What was it you were thinking, or were you even thinking at all?
When I think of what you thought of me, I take offense,
and I’m appalled that you could discount all I love so easily.
Living your life is not for me.
I won’t be sedated, I won’t be sedated!
Give me a little taste and I know I won’t want more.
I won’t be sedated, stability is overrated.
Give me the disorder I adore.
I can’t be a part, be a part, I can’t be a part.
I can’t be a part, be a part of your modern world.
I’ve gotta be apart, be apart, I’ve gotta be apart.
I’ve gotta be apart. I don’t grasp the values that you hold.
I can’t be a part, be a part, I can’t be a part.
I can’t be a part, be a part of your modern world.
I’ve gotta be apart, be apart, I’ve gotta be apart.
I’ve gotta be apart. I don’t grasp the values that you hold.
I can’t be a part, be a part, I can’t be a part.
I can’t be a part, be a part of your modern world.
I’ve gotta be apart, be apart, I’ve gotta be apart.
I’ve gotta be apart. I don’t grasp your values!

The song “Cult Status” is a part of Afi’s album of – Very Proud Of Ya (1996)

Lyrics for Cult Status

I’ll turn you on and switch you right off.
I’ll make sure you like what you see.
Forget all that you once believed.
Now you will believe in me.
Do you believe you make the choice, decide what you hold most dear?
In all opinions that you voice, it’s my voice that they all hear.
I’ll take your ideas and your values, I’ll make you turn them all around.
I’ll break you individuality, I’ll take you down.
I’ll seal shut your open eyes.
I’ll give you a taste of the bland.
Intoxicated you take me in.
You’ll never feel the touch of my hand.
I’ll take your ideas and your values, I’ll make you turn them all around.
I’ll break you individuality, I’ll take you down.
I’ll turn you on and switch you right off. I’ll soothe your troubled mind.
You’ll never have to think again, it’s just a matter of lost time.
I’ll take your ideas and your values, I’ll make you turn them all around.
I’ll break you individuality, I’ll take you down.
I’ll take you down. I’ll take you down.

The song “Wake-Up Call” is a part of Afi’s album of – Very Proud Of Ya (1996)

Lyrics for Wake-Up Call

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.

The song “File 13” is a part of Afi’s album of – Very Proud Of Ya (1996)

Lyrics for File 13

I sleep until there is no light.
I’m wide awake all through the night.
Dinner may suck but I’ll take a bite, I do whatever I can.
My muscles stiffen through the day.
Discomfort never goes away.
Someone should throw me away. I feel like a garbage can.
Throw me away, I’ve got no use.
Throw me away, I’m nothing to lose.
Throw me away, I feel like shit.
I am useless. I know I know nothing at all.
I’d take a stand, but I know I’d fall.
I’d run head-down into a wall and watch my blood run faster.
Girls laugh and pass me on the street.
I spook out everyone I meet.
I’ve got pink toenails on my feet, I’m such a fu*king master.
Throw me away, I’ve got no use.
Throw me away, I’m nothing to lose.
Throw me away, I feel like shit.
I am useless. I never seem to feel well.
I always seem to look like hell.
It seems like everyone can tell my mind is going numb.
My mom thinks I wear women’s clothes.
I get dogged on at all the shows.
It seems that everybody knows I look like a fu*king bum.
Throw me away, I’ve got no use.
Throw me away, I’m nothing to lose.
Throw me away, I feel like shit. I am useless.

The song “He Who Laughs Last…” is a part of Afi’s album of – Very Proud Of Ya (1996)

Lyrics for He Who Laughs Last…

No trust can be given freely, it’s a valuable commodity,
but obviously this is something you’ve never learned.
Faith is something that you put in friends, and had I excess morals to lend,
I’d let you borrow them, but my trust you haven’t earned.
We’ve got a problem? First of all there is no “we”, I’m detached from you completely.
I’ve got a problem. You tell lies to my friends and think it won’t get back to me.
No bond can ever seem to make a stable fit in our relationship,
but one thing that never comes between us is honesty.
When you have something to say, you always seem to find a way to avoid the truth or instead, avoid me.
We’ve got a problem? First of all there is no “we”, I’m detached from you completely.
I’ve got a problem. You tell lies to my friends and think it won’t get back to me.
Straight up is how you’ll see me stand, but it is never in your plans to be straight forward,
so instead, you use deceit.
Now I would like to take apart what you’ve been breaking from the start.
I’ll remain intact, I won’t be broken in defeat.
We’ve got a problem? First of all there is no “we”, I’m detached from you completely.
I’ve got a problem. You tell lies to my friends and think it won’t get back to me.
No trust!

Lyrics for Key Lime Pie

KEY LIME PIE, infatuation that shouldn’t exist,
KEY LIME PIE, indulge and I am in your debt.
KEY LIME PIE, inspire me with foolish love,
KEY LIME PIE, your green filling makes me inept.

KEY LIME PIE, cheapest hooker I’ve ever had,
KEY LIME PIE, last slice gleaming, if you’re out I’m mad.
KEY LIME PIE, poke fun and laugh and jest,
KEY LIME PIE, don’t bother me digest, KEY LIME PIE.

The song “Self Pity” is a part of Afi’s album of – Answer That And Stay Fashionable (1995)

Lyrics for Self Pity

I’m always short on cash and my mind is in the trash,
can’t find a way to get my head outta my ass.
I’m gettin’ skinny as a bone ’cause I’m always stuck at home,
I’m livin’ my life all fu*ked up and alone.

So once again, alone in my room,
only apparent future is my unhappy and doom.
So I just whine, whine, whine, whine, whine, whine,
whine, whine, whine, all the fu*kin’ time.
And I whine, whine, whine, whine, whine, whine,
whine, whine, whine, all the fuc*in’ time.

The song “High School Football Hero” is a part of Afi’s album of – Answer That And Stay Fashionable (1995)

Lyrics for High School Football Hero

I wanna be a highschool football hero.
With an S.A.T. score less than zero. I wanna
try to drink my weight in beer-o. I wanna be a highschool football hero.
I wanna score a touchdown so I can score after the game.
I don’t care about my future ’cause it is just another day.
I’ll rush for forty yards and drink four forties later on. I’m done with
this brunette someone pass me another blonde.
Coach tells me to drink my milk and wash it down with ‘roids.
I’ve gotta get my rest so I can
party with the boys.
My brain is upside-down, so I’m just a little slow.
I’ll change my name to
Bubba so that everyone will know…

The song “Don’t Make Me Ill” is a part of Afi’s album of – Answer That And Stay Fashionable (1995)

Lyrics for Don’t Make Me Ill

Right now we’re got a reason to live, but it’s got nothing to do with you.
We’ve got a lot of places we’re gonna go,
a lot of things that we’re gonna do.
In your world we may be no
one, but what makes you think you’re someone?
We have got just what we need and we don’t need you.
No one.
I can tell where our future lies, and you can tell we’ve got nothing to hide.
The way things seem to me right now, everything will be just time.
We’re gonna do it our way.
We don’t need you to darken our day.
We’ve never given up before and this stand won’t be our first time.
No one’s gonna tell me, I’m gonna do it my way.
No one’s gonna tell me how to get it done.

The song “Ny-Quil” is a part of Afi’s album of – Answer That And Stay Fashionable (1995)

Lyrics for Ny-Quil

Sleep. I want to stay in bed all throughout the day, no one bother me.
I don’t wanna open my eyes.
I’ll lie here in my room. I have no need to see.
No one wake me, I just want to stay right bed.
No one move me, I just want to lie right here, right in my warm bed,
because I don’t want to see tomorrow.
Here I am so happy, so just leave me be.
I just want to stay.
I do not bother you, so don’t you touch me.
Get the fu*k away!

The song “Your Name Here” is a part of Afi’s album of – Answer That And Stay Fashionable (1995)

Lyrics for Your Name Here

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.

The song “Kung-Fu Devil” is a part of Afi’s album of – Answer That And Stay Fashionable (1995)

Lyrics for Kung-Fu Devil

It’s said and done, there is no turning back.
I’ve made my choice, now I’ve gotta face the facts.
Within myself, the hunger won’t be subdued,
because I can’t have my cake and eat it too.
I’m worn down from fighting with myself.
I’ll save my life and lose my mental health.
I’m wigging out, everything is turning round.
A bitter taste-no comfort can be found.
An emptiness wells inside of me, there’s no filling the void that will always be.
A self-control is all I have to hold.
It’s been too long.
Maybe I have been to bold.
When you’re by your own
conviction discipline can be your addiction.
I’m worn down from fighting with myself.
I’ll save my life and lose my mental health. I’ve gone
this far so I’ll keep trying.
Continue to fight, I hope that I don’t end up dying.

The song “Rizzo In The Box” is a part of Afi’s album of – Answer That And Stay Fashionable (1995)

Lyrics for Rizzo In The Box

I’m always around you to show you that I care, but I don’t know what for.
It seems
to me that you couldn’t care less so I’m not gonna do it anymore.
I see no reason why I’ve placed such a value on you,
but my thoughts have changed now,
I’ve opened my eyes and now I’m through.
Looking back at my short life, the few pleasures that I’ve found,
all your misconceptions pummel me to the ground.
Now, I look at your small life and it doesn’t mean a bit. I pick myself
up off the ground ’cause I don’t give a shit.
They say all good things come to an end, I wish this didn’t apply.
You were once someone I called my friend but that’s all changed now
and I don’t know why.
Things are very different now.
You’ve got nothing to say.
It’s sad when someone you know very well decides to fu*king die and go away.

The song “The Mother In Me” is a part of Afi’s album of – Answer That And Stay Fashionable (1995)

Lyrics for The Mother In Me

Caught in a world that’s plagued by something they call love.
A paradigm of illness
is the beast I have become.
The sights that I have seen could nearly bring me to my knees.
I’ve seen exactlty what it is I never want to be,
But I keep it deep inside myself.
It’s within me.
Keep it deep within yourself and sink with me.
Last night I had the misfortune to see it all first hand.
“Evacuate the premises” was the innate first command.
What drives the need for all of this?
And will I ever understand?
Has someone failed to tell me of this master plan?
But I keep it deep inside myself.
It’s within me.
Keep it deep within yourself and sink with me.

The song “Cereal Wars” is a part of Afi’s album of – Answer That And Stay Fashionable (1995)

Lyrics for Cereal Wars

Get up early in the morning, going to the store.
Post, Kellogs, General Mills?
It’s the cereal war.
Fucking store never has the monsters and they never get more.
Post, Kellogs, General Mills?
It’s the cereal war.
I hope sexual chocolate is in stock, it’s got a condom in the box.
I’ll try some cocoa puffs
today who the f**k is Sonny anyway?
Some say Dino’s are the best, they’ve got more marshmallows than the rest.
There’s not a lot of cocoa in Cocoa Krispies, and always stay away from
Wheaties.
Now it’s dinner time and I’m going back to the store.
I had some Erkles, liked ‘em a lot. It’s
the cereal war.
I wish I were Calvin or Hobbes, and then I could try Sugar Bombs.
The soggies will never get
Cap’n Crunch, I guess I’ll have Crunch Berries for lunch.
Breakfast cereals need to be sweet, that’s the only kind I’ll eat.
Give me sugar, not nuts and twigs!
Do I look like a f**kin’ squirrel to you?

The song “The Checkered Demon” is a part of Afi’s album of – Answer That And Stay Fashionable (1995)

Lyrics for The Checkered Demon

Too much to find, so much so little time.
So many images persist to shade my mind.
Will I ever come around or will I just hit the ground?
Will I still be standing when it all comes down?
Why can’t I seem to sort it out?
Why am I always filled with doubt
So many people everywhere,
so self-absorbed without a care of their viral lves.
I’d like to bleed them all, when all is drained who shall hold?
When mindless bodies screw tortured souls,
will somebody be there to catch me when I fall?
Why can’t I seem to sort it out.
Why am I always filled with doubt.
How could I always be so
blind? Why can’t I figure it out?
I could always hope for change, could always hope to rearrange.
But why not just abandon hope
and tear it all apart, now?

The song “Brownie Bottom Sundae” is a part of Afi’s album of – Answer That And Stay Fashionable (1995)

Lyrics for Brownie Bottom Sundae

Into the dark is where you’re draggin me
and into your dark is where I never want to
be. I know I’m not alone and I really want to leave.
Into the dark is where you want to watch me bleed.
I’m feeling kinda trapped, I gotta go.
I’m feelin’ kinda trapped don’t you know. I’m feelin
kinda trapped I gotta go.
I gotta go.
I’m being dragged down, for how long, I don’t know.
I’m being dragged down and I rise up way
too slow. I know I don’t belong here and I think I ought to go.
I hope that I can leave here, leave here with my soul.

The song “I Wanna Get A Mohawk (But Mom Won’t Let Me Get One)” is a part of Afi’s album of – Answer That And Stay Fashionable (1995)

Lyrics for I Wanna Get A Mohawk (But Mom Won’t Let Me Get One)

I may be ten years old but I still know what’s up.
I wear my Cramps shirt almost
every single day. I want to sag my pants.
I want to pogo dance, but Mom won’t let me so I might just run away.
I wanna ride my skate. I wanna stay out late.
I wanna mohawk but mom won’t let me get one.
I wanna go to shows.
Don’t wanna pierce my nose.
I wanna get a mohawk but mom won’t let me get one.
I may be in fourth grade, but I know what’s going on.
I listen to the Misfits almost every single day.
Don’t want to take a nap, I want a TV tat,
but Mom won’t let me so I might just disobey.

The song “Yurf Rendernmein” is a part of Afi’s album of – Answer That And Stay Fashionable (1995)

Lyrics for Yurf Rendernmein

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.

The song “Half-Empty Bottle” is a part of Afi’s album of – Answer That And Stay Fashionable (1995)

Lyrics for Half-Empty Bottle

The ends don’t always justify the means,
but I know what it takes to get what I
need, I’ve got the cure when passive protest just won’t do…just flick my
Bic as I hold it to the fuse.
Smash it up.
Break it down.
Bring it down, down to the ground.
Tear it up.
Burn it down.
Burn
it down, down to the ground.
How long have we waited for the day when they tighten their grips
and we slip away?
The sound of breaking glass drives me back up.
It makes me whole, when I’ve been down on my luck.

The song “Two Of A Kind” is a part of Afi’s album of – Answer That And Stay Fashionable (1995)

Lyrics for Two Of A Kind

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.

Lyrics for Yo Mamma

I met a little girl who was so high class (totally)
I was as lonely as can be she had a beautiful
She was lonely
She showed me her tattoo it was right there On her breast
Somewhere in a city in the middle of the West

In the morning as I gingerly tipped toed
Down the stairs, I had this deja voodoo
That maybe I already had been there
Then it all came back to me that night back in 1973
It must have been yo mama Lord have mercy on me

Lyrics for Won’t Let You Down

Wont let you down
This time around
Wont let you down
Wont let you downnnnn

Wont let you I’ll bet you
Wont let you down
This time around
Wont let you down
Wont let you I’ll bet you
Wont let you downnnnn

Lyrics for What Kind Of Love Are You On?

You say one thing then you do another
You’ve got it all wrong so you blame it on your mother
You’re kickin’ the dog cause you can’t get the cat
You know it ain’t cool but you like it like that

I wanna know… what kind of love are you on?
I wanna know… what kind of love are you on?
I’ve gotta know… what kind of love are you on?

Lyrics for Wham Bam

I got a hole in my heart
Lord I gotta do some patchin’
Got the seven year itch, girl,
We gotta do some scratchin’

Yea, the train kept a rollin’
Screamin’ all night long – Do it! do it!
We’re gettin’ down and dirty – do it! do it!

Lyrics for Wayne’s World Theme

“Let’s do it”
“All right, here we go”
“One, two, a-one two three”

“Thank you, good night, god bless you
And don’t forget to wear a rubber”
“Aurora rocks, Aurora rocks, goodnight, pary on”

Lyrics for Walk On Water

Lyrics for Theme From Spider Man

Spider-man, Spider-man
Does whatever a spider can
Spins a web, any size
Catches thieves, just like flies
Look out! Here comes the Spider-man!

Spider-man, Spider-man
Friendly neighborhood Spider-man
Wealth and fame, he’s ignored
Action is his reward
To him, life is a great big bang-up
Wherever there’s a hang-up
You’ll find the Spider-man!

Lyrics for Sudona Sunrise

I was a city boy
Cought up in a city way
A nitty gritty boy
Stayin’ out all night
And always gettin blown away

There ain’t no breeze to cool the heat of love

Lyrics for Smokestack Lightning

Hey smokestack lightning
Can’t you hear me callin’
Can’t you hear me callin’
Callin’ your name

[Repeat]

Lyrics for Scream In Pain

It’s sleepy sickness
That knows me well
It’s all around me
My mind can tell

Yayaya…

Lyrics for Rockin’ Pneumonia And The Boogie Woogie Flu

I wanna jump but I’m afraid I’ll fall
I wanna holler but the jones’ too small
Young man really got the hold to it too
I got the Rockin’ Pneumonia And The Boogie Woogie Flu

I wanna scream, I wanna scream
Young man really got a hold on it too
I got the Rockin’ Pneumonia, what’s the matter with you?

Lyrics for Rocket 88

Yea I think I know
I really hate it when it gets too slow
I gotta try and keep myself amused
I love the way my rocket purrs
I like it best when I see blurs
You gotta love to watch me light my fuse

So no more up against the wall
Just come with me and watch the earth get small
I swear you never will come down at all
So if you like it in your face
I’ll rub your nose into outer space
And turn into a red hot fireball

Lyrics for Red House

There’s a Red House over yonder
That’s where my baby stays
There’s a Red house over yonder
That’s where my baby stays
I ain’t been home to see my baby
Seems like 99 and one half days

Over the hill
‘Cause if my baby don’t
Love me no more
I know her sister will

Lyrics for Once Is Enough

Been lucked out
Broke a woman’s heart
With only myself to blame
Fate ran its course
I suffered a loss
I learned a lesso in pain

Once Is Enough, it’s one time too many
Changes are rough, oh, Once Is Enough
Changes are rough, oh, Once Is Enough

Lyrics for Mother Popcorn

Here boom boom boom boom here..ga

Thank you!
The King! Something by the King!
Well you know the King!

Lyrics for Melt Down

The streets were cold and barren
The nights were dark and dank
And the sky, hadn’t had a rain cloud in it for 25 years….
The buildings were dead and the alleys
Stunk from things that used to live there
Ahhh that wasn’t the city I remembered

There’s a Meltdown in the sky
There’s a new day comin’ and I don’t know why
There’s a fear that gets me high
And the cold night numbs as the Jet Black clouds roll on by….

Lyrics for Love Me Two Times

Oh yeah
Love me two time baby
Love me twice today
Love me two times girl
I’m goin’ away
Love me two times girl
Once for tomorrow
Once just for today

Love me two times
I’m goin’ away
[Repeat]

Lyrics for Love Me Like A Bird Dog

Savin’ all your money
For a rainy day limousine
Teenage baby send you
Full friction magazine
I don’t know how she do it

Love Me Like a Bird Dog
Never learn to fly
Ask me no questions
I’ll tell you no lies
