But Home Is Nowhere (Demo Version)
A.f.i

Twenty-six years and seems like I've just begun


To understand my, my intimate is no one


When the director sold the show, who bought its last rites?


They cut the cast, the music, and the lights




This is my line, this is eternal


How did I ever end up here?


Discarnate, preternatural


My prayers to disappear


Absent of grace, marked as infernal


Ungranted in dead time left me disowned


To this nature, so unnatural


I remain alone




Twenty-six years end, still speaking in these tongues


Such revelations while understood by no one


When the new actor stole the show, who questioned his grace?


Please clear this house of ill-acquired taste




This is my line, this is eternal


How did I ever end up here?


Discarnate, preternatural


My prayers to disappear


Absent of grace, marked as infernal


Ungranted in dead time left me disowned


To this nature, so unnatural


I remain alone




Give me something, give me something


Give me something, give me something


Give me something, give me something real




I lay strewn across the floor, can't solve this puzzle


Everyday another small piece can't be found


I lay strewn across the floor, pieced up in sorrow


The pieces are lost, these pieces don't fit


Pieced together incomplete and empty




This is my line, this is eternal


How did I ever end up here?


Discarnate, preternatural


My prayers to disappear


Absent of grace, marked as infernal


Ungranted in dead time left me disowned


To this nature, so unnatural


I remain alone




This is my line, this is eternal


How did I end up here?


Discarnate, preternatural


My prayers to disappear


Absent of grace, marked as infernal


Ungranted in dead time left me disowned


To this nature, so unnatural


I remain alone






We held hands on the last night on earth


Our mouths filled with dust.


We kissed in the fields


And under trees


Screaming like dogs,


Bleeding dark into leaves.




It was empty on the edge of town


But we knew everyone floated along the bottom of the river.


So we walk through the waste


where the road curved into the sea.


And the shattered seasons lay


and the bitter smell of Burning was on you like a disease


In our cancer of passion you said


Death is a midnight runner.




the sky came crashing down


like the news of an intimate suicide


we picked up the shards


and formed them into shapes of stars


that wore like an antique wedding dress


The echoes of the past broke the hearts of the unborn


as the ferris wheel silently slowed to a stop.






the few insects skittered away


in hopes of a better pastime


i kissed you at the apex of the maelstrom and asked


if you would accompany me in a quick fall


but you made me realize


that my ticket wasn't good for two...


i rode alone






You said the cinders are falling like snow.


there is poetry in despair


And we sang with unrivaled beauty.


bitter elegies of savagery and eloquence.


Of blue and grey.


Strange, we ran down desperate streets and carved our names in


the flesh of the city.




The sun was stagnated somewhere beyond the rim of the horizon


and the darkness is a mystery of curves and lines.


Still, we lay under the emptiness and drifted slowly outward,


and somewhere in the wilderness we found salvation scratched


into the earth like a message.






I cannot leave here, I cannot stay.


Forever haunted, more than afraid.


Asphyxiate on words I would say.


I'm drawn to a blackened sky as I turn blue.




There are no flowers


No, not this time.


There'll be no angels gracing the line.


Just these stark words I find.




I'd show a smile,


But I'm too weak.


I'd share with you,


Could I only speak,


Just how much this hurts me.




I cannot stay here, I cannot leave.


Just like all I've loved,


I'm make believe.


Imagine heart, I disappear


seems no one will appear here and make me real.




There are no flowers


No, not this time.


There'll be no angels gracing the lines.


Just these stark words I find.




I'd show a smile,


But I'm too weak.


I'd share with you,


Could I only speak,


Just how much this hurts me.




I'd tell you how it haunts me


I'd tell you how it haunts me


(Cuts through my day and sinks into my dreams)


I'd tell you how it haunts me


(Cuts through my day and sinks into my dreams)


You don't care that it haunts me...Oh




There are no flowers


No, not this time.


There'll be no angels gracing the lines.


Just these stark words I find.




I'd show a smile,


But I'm too weak.


I'd share with you,


Could I only speak,


Just how much this hurts me.




Just how much this hurts me.


Just how much you…
