AFI
100 Words
This is the final night, boys
We are the cracks in diamond walls
I tried to illuminate but the shadows kill
I'm overshadowed. See how I blend in with nothing?
Now beautiful boys, let's destroy
We'll shine as the lucite breaks and falls
Raise the new glitter god with the golden tears - the tears that swallow
A smile that's touched so warms nothing

Yesterday I burnt the sky, looked to the ground and wrapped it around me
Still today I have so much to burn
Yesterday I longed to die, fell to the ground, and the ground caught me
Now today I question why I fell

Deities fell to decoys, tainting what's pure
Let's cleanse them all
Infinite life reclaimed, as the shadows kill they are overshadowed
We'll burn as they fade into nothing

So what can help me to understand, somehow, why it always pains me to breathe?
We're no longer confined because yesterday I burnt the sky
