AFI – This Time Imperfect Lyrics 16 years ago
This song is probably talking about religion.
"There'll be no angels gracing these lines
Just these stark words I find" as shown in the great dissappointment, Davey's probably atheist, so this is his way of saying that life's lines are graced, not with angels, but with death. You find the truth at the end, "stark words", But find no happiness,"No angels gracing these lines".

"I cannot leave here, I cannot stay"
I can't stand the way the world is, but I can't let go of my life.
"Forever haunted, more than afraid"
Being faced with the cruelty of the world and the nothingness of death terrifies me to no end. I cannot let go.
"Asphyxiate on words I would say"
I can't so easily pretend I'm not scared, I can't say what I normally would so quickly or without thought.
"Forever darkened
Now as I turn blue"
I am burdened with my depression as I try to move on. I fall into sadness as I try to escape the darkness, to turn me depressed.
"There are no flowers
No not this time"
Life has nothing for me, I have nothing to keep me.
"There'll be no angels
Gracing the lines"
There's no heaven, nothing for me in death.
"Just these stark words I find"
I only see indecision, I can't decide life or death.
"I'd show a smile
But I'm too weak"
I can't lie about my pain anymore, the burden is to hard to bear.
"I'd share with you
Could I only speak
Just how much this hurts me"
I can't speak of my pain; I can't comprehend my own pain, let alone tell you. I know, however, that this pain is too much to bear.

Basically, the point is that the song seems to me like it's about suicide.

Also, it could be a code for a gay love song
Firstly, no gender specifications
Secondly, in Japan they refer to homosexuals as Blue Sexuals
Thirdly, "It's in the special way we fuck" meaning the do it abnormall, anal sex
Just a thought, though, so please do NOT bash my idea!!

I think that this song is talking about love, in a twisted sense. It's like he's saying " Our love is like an addiction" with what he says.
