100 Words Lyrics by AFI

Sing the Sorrow (Deluxe)

2009

[Verse 1]
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?

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
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

[Chorus]
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
I fell

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

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

[Outro]
We're no longer confined because yesterday I burnt the sky
I fell
Because yesterday I...
