AFI - Paper Airplanes (Makeshift Wings) lyrics
[AFI - Paper Airplanes Makeshift Wings lyrics]
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
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)
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
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
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)
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
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
I'd stop it, had you a heart (your heart)
I'd stop it, had you a heart (your heart)
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
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
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)
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
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
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)
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
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
I'd stop it, had you a heart (your heart)
I'd stop it, had you a heart (your heart)
From above, a rain of ashes descends
Like anathema, I 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
