[AFI - Now the World lyrics]
Summer, I painted a scene that
Lit the stars for me
Said, "I can erase it for you, dear"
That summer created those words that
Came to life in three
They were denied by you
Summer, I laid down below
The glitter-adorned night
And silently sparkled, my own way
Summer, I laid down by you
And shared my frail light
You gave the dark to me
(You gave the dark to me)
I looked inside (I) to find (wanted)
The one I sent away (this excoriation)
I nearly froze when I stepped inside (I)
To find (thrive on)
The flowers turned to gray
(this self-mutilation) i closed my eyes
And kissed them one last time
Summer, a morning, so pale
Alone when they found me
As I remained sleeping, I heard them say
"The summer created a boy of abject misery
He was designed by you"
(He was designed by you)
I looked inside (I) to find (wanted)
The one I sent away (this excoriation)
I nearly froze when I stepped inside (I)
To find (thrive on)
The flowers turned to gray
(this self-mutilation) i closed my eyes
And kissed them
So like a lost child
I will hide (now the world)
And like a lost lie
I will find (now the world)
Find a way to return to the ones who made me
Cover your eyes and we'll die together
Will you cry for me? Will you cry for me?
Or will you die with me?
Or will you cry for me?
Or will you cry for me?
Or will you die with me?
Will you cry for me?
(I've been a lonely one)
Will you cry for me?
(I've had this whole world)
Or will you die with me? (drained from me)
Will you cry for me? (am I the only one?)
Will you cry for me? (I've had this world)
Or will you die with me? (drained from me)
Drained from me
Summer, I painted a scene that
Lit the stars for me
Said, "I can erase it for you, dear"
Lit the stars for me
Said, "I can erase it for you, dear"
That summer created those words that
Came to life in three
They were denied by you
Summer, I laid down below
The glitter-adorned night
And silently sparkled, my own way
Summer, I laid down by you
And shared my frail light
You gave the dark to me
(You gave the dark to me)
I looked inside (I) to find (wanted)
The one I sent away (this excoriation)
I nearly froze when I stepped inside (I)
To find (thrive on)
The flowers turned to gray
(this self-mutilation) i closed my eyes
And kissed them one last time
Summer, a morning, so pale
Alone when they found me
As I remained sleeping, I heard them say
"The summer created a boy of abject misery

(He was designed by you)
I looked inside (I) to find (wanted)

Or will you die with me?
Or will you cry for me?
Or will you cry for me?
Or will you die with me?
