AFI
"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?
"Morningstar"
I saw a star beneath the stairs glowing
through the melting walls.
Who will be the first to begin their fall?
Or will we become one?
Am I the star beneath
the stairs?
Am I a ghost upon the stage?
Am I your anything?
I saw a star beneath the stairs glowing bright before
descent
and in the morning there is nothing left but what's inside of me.
Am I the star beneath the stairs?
Am
I a ghost upon the stage?
Am I your anything?
[x2]
And I don't want to die tonight; will you believe in
me?
And I don't want to fall into the light.
Will you wish upon?
Will you walk upon me?
I don't want to die tonight.
Will
you believe in me tonight?
Am I the star beneath the stairs?
Am I a ghost upon the stage?
Am I your anything?

"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 even 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 Days Of Phoenix"
I remember when I was told of story
of crushed velvet,
candle wax, and dried up flowers
The figure on the bed all dressed up in roses, calling
Beckoning
to sleep,
Offering a dream
words were as mystical as purring animals
The circle of rage
The ghosts on the
stage appeared
The time was so tangible, I'll never let it go
Ghost stories handed down, reached secret tunnels below
No
one could see me
I fell into yesterday
Our dreams seemed not far away
I want to, I want to, I want to stay
I
fell into fantasy
The words were as mystical as purring animals
The circle of rage
The ghosts on the stage appeared
The
time was so tangible, I'll never let it go
Ghost stories handed down, reached secret tunnels below
No one could see
me
I fell into yesterday.
Our dreams seemed not far away
I want to, I want to, I want to stay.
I fell into
fantasy
The girl on the wall always waited for me,
And she was always smiling
The teenage death boys
The teenage
death girls
And everyone was dancing
Nothing could touch us then
No one could change us then
Everyone was dancing
Nothing
could hurt us then
No one could see us then
Everyone was dancing
Everyone was dancing
No one could see me
I
fell into yesterday
Our dreams seemed not far away
I want to, I want to, I want to stay
I fell into fantasy
Our
dreams seemed not far away
Our dreams seemed not far away
Our dreams seemed not far away
I fell into fantasy

Lyrics cont....
Juliana theory
"Duane Joseph"
Tell your mom you need a day off
so we can
play out in the rain
we'll catch a ride to the mall
go down to the arcarde
cause that's where all the cool kids play
tell
your mom you need a day off
cause I dont feel like school today
we'll ride our boards down the hill
and to the playground
where
everythings ok
tell your mom we will be home late
cause building cabins in the woods is hard work
You always
know that I'll be there
Cause summer time is coming near
My closest friend, you'll always be
You are a hometown kid
like me
Tell your mom to make us lunch now
cause we worked up an appetite
G.I. Joes and karate matches in the
back yard
where everything's alright
now I can see that things have changed
we've gone our seperate ways now
and
it's not you and me
anymore, whoa...
why can't it be the way it was
when they were us...
my closest friends
have turned and fled
you are a million miles away
and I guess I'll hold my breath
(there is no harm for hoping
for change)
and I guess I'll hold my breath
(there is no harm in hoping for change)
and I guess I'll hold my Breath
(there
is no harm in hoping for change)
And I guess I'll hold my breath...
Dashboard Confessionals
"Screaming Infidelities"
I'm missing your bed, I never
sleep
Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak
and this bottle of beast is taking me home.
I'm cuddling close
to blankets and sheets
But you're not alone and you're not discreet.
You make sure I know, who's taking you home.
I'm
reading your note over again.
There is not a word that I comprehend,
except when you signed it
"I will love you always
and forever"
As for now I'm gonna hear the saddest songs,
and sit alone and wonder,
how you're making out,
and
as for me I wish that I was anywhere
with anyone making out
I'm missing your laugh, how did it break?
And when
did your eyes begin to look fake?
I hope you're as happy as your pretending.
I'm cuddling close to blankets and sheets,
and I am alone, in my defeat.
I wish I knew you were safely at home.
I'm missing your bed, I never sleep.
Avoiding
the spots where we'd have to speak,
And this bottle of beast is taking me home.
Well as for now I'm gonna hear the
saddest songs,
and sit alone and wonder,
how your making out.
And as for me I wish that I was anywhere
with
anyone
making out.
Your hair, it's everywhere,
Screaming infidelities and taking its wear.
[x4]
"Again I Go Unnoticed"
So quiet
another wasted night,
the
television steals the conversation
exhale,
another wasted breath,
again it goes unnoticed.
Please tell me
you're just feeling tired
cause if it's more than that I feeel that I might break
out of touch, out of time.
Please
send me anything but signals that are mixed
casue I can't read your rolling eyes
out of touch, are we out of time?
Close
lipped
another goodnight kiss
is robbed of all it's passion,
your grip
another time, is slack
it leaves me
feeling empty.
I'll wait until tomorrow
maybe you'll feel better then
maybe we'll be better then
so what's
another day
when I can't bear these nights of thoughts
of going on without you
this mood of yours is temporary
it
seems worth the wait
to see your smile again
out of the corner of your eye
won't be the only way you'll look at me
then.
