Now The World
A.F.I.

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 a 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


I looked inside to find the one I sent away

I nearly froze when I stepped inside to find the flowers turned to gray

I closed my eyes and kissed them one last time

(I wanted this excoriation I thrive on this self mutilation)


Summer, a morning so pale alone when they found me

As I remained sleeping I heard them say

This summer created a boy of abject misery

He was designed by you


I looked inside to find the one I sent away

I nearly froze when I stepped inside to find the flowers turned to gray

I closed my eyes and kissed them one last time

(I wanted this excoriation I thrive on this self mutilation)


So like a lost child I will hide

And like a lost lie I will 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 cry with me?

Will you cry for me? Will you cry for me?

Or will you cry with me?


Will you cry for me?

I've been a lonely one

Will you cry for me?

I've had this whole world drained from me


Or will you die with me?

Will you cry for me?

Am I the only one?

Will you cry for me?


I've had this world drained from me, drained from me

Or will you die with me?


Summer, I painted a scene that lit the stars for me

Said, I can erase it for you dear
