Paper Airplanes (Makeshift Wings)
AFI · Sing the Sorrow [2003]
Raise high monolithic statues so fragile as they fall
I am ever enthralled
Gaze lie and smirk time
Your arrogance will suit you well
'Til fashion is dispelled
As waves of plactic fame go out of fashion
Your going out, going out forever unknown
These waves of perfect flame go out of fashion
Your going down, going down forever unknown.
Unknown
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 nothings 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
Your going out, going out forever unknown
These waves of plastic fame go out of fashion
Your going down, going down forever unknown
Unknown
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
Dancin in the rain of descending ash
Dancin on your grave
I'll see you
Dancin in the rain of descending ash
Dancin in your dust
I'll see you
I'd stop it, had you a heart.
I'd stop it, had you a heart.
From above a rain of ashes descends.
Anathema, I will remain (forever will remain)
From below in my seclusion

And watch them burn
