Afi - Paper Airplanes (Makeshift Wings) lyrics

rate me

Raise high monolithic statues so fragile as they fall

I am ever enthralled

Gaze, lie and smirk in time, your arrogance will suit you well

'Til fashion is dispelled

As waves of plastic fame go out of fashion

You're going out, going out forever unknown

These waves of plastic fame go out of fashion

(These waves of plastic fame are drying up and I smile)

You're going out, going out forever unknown

(Because you're dying to become forever unknown, unkown)

From above a rain of ashes descends

Anathema I will remain, forever will remain

From below, in my seclusion

Look up to the sky to see paper wings and watch them burn

Without habitation, you'll never find a soul inside

No life, but nothing's died

No lights, but quite the show (Just as long as no one ever knows

All motion is pantomime)

As waves of plastic fame go out of fashion

You're going out, going out forever unknown

These waves of plastic fame go out of fashion

(These waves of plastic fame are drying up and I smile)

You're going out, going out forever unknown

(Because you're dying to become forever unknown, unkown)

From above a rain of ashes descends

Anathema I will remain, forever will remain

From below, in my seclusion

Look up to the sky to see paper wings and watch them burn

Dancing in the rain of descending ash

Dancing on your grave, I'll see you all falling

Dancing in the rain of descending ash

Dancing in your dust, I'll see you all falling

I'd stop it, had you a heart (your heart)

I'd stop it, had you a heart (your heart)

From above a rain of ashes descends

Anathema I will remain, forever will remain

From below, in my seclusion

Look up to the sky to see paper wings and watch them burn
