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 fame are drying up)
You're going out, going out
(you're dying to become forever unknown, unkown)

From above a rain of ashes (descends on anthema)
An anthema I will remain, forever will remain
From below, in my seclusion
Look up to the sky to see
(paper made)
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
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 fame are drying up)
You're going out, going out
(you're dying to become forever unknown, unkown)

From above a rain of ashes (descends on anthema)
An anthema I will remain, forever will remain
From below, in my seclusion
Look up to the sky to see
(paper made)
see wings and watch them burn

Dancing in the rain of descending ash
Dancing on your grave, I'll see y'all (all falling)
Dancing in the rain of descending ash
Dancing in your dust, I'll see y'all (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 (descends on anthema)
An anthema I will remain, forever will remain
From below, in my seclusion
Look up to the sky to see
(paper made)
see wings and watch them burn

From above a rain of ashes (descends on anthema)
An anthema I will remain, forever will remain
From below, in my seclusion
Look up to the sky to see
(paper made)
see wings and watch them burn

Oh!, watch them
