AFI Interview, The Lyrics

Forever waiting for disaster

What David calls servant and master,
will you play it, too?
As this displacement begs for water,
swimming, bathing, drowning in Sorrow,

Scream with me

I crawl across this cracked expansion.
I'll be buried soon
beneath the sand with pure intentions,
wanting something, someone to follow

For a change I'll *refrain*
from hiding all of me from you.
Here's my lullaby
Pray for rain, lose your name
And watch all your dreams fall through.
Hush now, don't you cry.

I swoon upon my knees come crashing
Will you bury me?
Today, this small favor I'm asking
Hold me. You may drop me tomorrow.

For a change, I'll *refrain*
From hiding all of me from you.
Here's my lullaby
Pray for rain, lose your name
And watch all your dreams fall through

For a change, I'll *refrain*
From hiding all of me from you
Pray for rain, lose your name
And watch all your dreams fall through
It's my lullaby,
Hush now, don't you cry.

Calm down. Come now, cold resides with me.
I flee to decemberunderground.
As you exhale, I breathe in and sink into the water underground
and I'll grow pale without you.
