The Embrace - AFI

Watching it crumble

Might have eased the hurt

Feeling it disappear

Only made it worse

Pulling it piece by piece

Slashing up ribbons could dismiss

To slowly disintegrate

Could have been the perfect gift

May you feel this, while you sleep

Push the poisonous thorns in you

May you feel this while you wake

Bear your poisonous thorns

Walk into traffic

Running with open knives

Searching for mercy here

That I’m too weak to find

To take my deepest breath

I walk into the raging sea

To drown out this emptiness

It’s all you have left for me

May you feel this, while you sleep

Push the poisonous thorns in you

May you feel this while you wake

Bear your poisonous thorns

I hope you feel this

I hope that you can feel this

As it’s fading the darkness shifts (the darkness shifts)

This may be the perfect gift

May you feel this, while you sleep

Push the poisonous thorns in you

May you feel this while you wake

Bear your poisonous thorns

May you feel this, may you feel this while you wake

May you feel this, may you feel this while you wake
