Lyrics Paper Airplanes (Makeshift Wings) - AFI

Paper Airplanes (Makeshift Wings)

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
YOU’RE GOING OUT GOING OUT, forever unknown, unknown
From above, a rain of ashes,(anathema)DESCENDS ANATHEMA
I will remain, forever will remain
From below, in my seclusion,(Paper wings) LOOK UP TO THE SKY TO SEE
See 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
Emotion, 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
YOU’RE GOING OUT GOING OUT, forever unknown, unknown
From above, a rain of ashes,(anathema)DESCENDS ANATHEMA
I will remain, forever will remain
From below, in my seclusion,(Paper wings) LOOK UP TO THE SKY TO SEE
See 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)
STOP!
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,(anathema)DESCENDS ANATHEMA
I will remain, forever will remain
From below, in my seclusion,(Paper wings) LOOK UP TO THE SKY TO SEE
See wings, AND WATCH THEM BURN
From above, a rain of ashes, DESCENDS ANATHEMA
I will remain, forever will remain
From below, in my seclusion,(Paper wings) LOOK UP TO THE SKY TO SEE
See wings, AND WATCH THEM BURN.
