Paper Airplanes Makeshift Wings
AFI
[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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
(Because you're dying to become forever unknown, unknown)

[Chorus]
From above, a rain of ashes descends
Like 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

[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
(Because you're dying to become forever unknown, unknown)

[Chorus]
From above, a rain of ashes descends
Like 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

[Bridge]
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

[Bridge 2]
I'd stop it, had you a heart (your heart)
I'd stop it, had you a heart (your heart)

[Chorus]
From above, a rain of ashes descends
Like 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
From above, a rain of ashes descends
Like 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
