6 to 8 Lyrics by AFI

The Art of Drowning

2000

[Verse 1]
Six figures enter
They've come to destroy the world
They've called together
This storm almost every night
And I awake in another place
A familiar voice with a stranger's face speaks
I awake in another place
More unheard words

[Pre-Chorus]
What new friends will the day bring?
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
One for one thousand acquainted
Whoa, oh, oh
What new hope will the night bring?
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
When it all comes down you just throw the bones
Whoa

[Chorus]
On the way, I saw five hours of sleep
On the way, but your fire makes it all worth while
On the way, I wrote words for you to keep
On the way

[Pre-Chorus]
What new friends will the day bring?
One for one thousand acquainted
What new hope will the night bring?
When it all comes down you just throw the bones

[Chorus]
On the way, I saw five hours of sleep
On the way, but your fire makes it all worth while
On the way, I wrote words for you to keep
On the way

[Bridge]
I saw myself
Lost myself along the way
And you were by me

[Chorus]
On the way, I saw five hours of sleep
On the way, but your fire makes it all worth while
On the way, I wrote words for you to keep
On the way
