An invitation. Excluding no one. So walk right in and destroy the fucking place. You've lost your right to be part of my family. The family that welcomed you. You joined and left in disgrace Your flag was flaming. Before it ever started flying. Your flag was burning Burning down everyone in true salute. Sense of commitment. A sense of pride. I heard you say that we shared a destiny. Now it's plain to see you've got no sense at all. The name that once honored. You disgraced and made a mockery I could always see. The smoke from miles away. I could always see. The weakness in your eyes. Far away I feel the lies. While the sky is burning. You will always be unwanted.

I think this song is obviously about someone being accpeted into a close group, then being exiled after he brings them disgrace and ruin.
I'd have to agree with you. I'm not a huge fan of this song, but it does have amazing lyrics.
I beleive this song to be about either Mark of Geoff, members of the AFI "family" that then left and then left AFI in shambles until someone could come and fill their place.
Yeah, this song is rumoured to be about Markus Stopholese, now a cycler!

If it were written in 2004, it could have been about President Chimp Bush.
It's definitely about Mark since Geoff is still very close with the guys to this day.
i love the bass at the beginning of the song, it sounds real cool.
ju
mark and geoff were still playing on this album...it does say thanks to Hunter and Jade towards the end of the lyrics sheet...maybe they got kicked out and then the place was taken by one of them seeing as they did play on the following album (jade and hunter) Who knows?
this is from the black sails ep?
jade and hunter played on black sails in the sunset!
Yeah this one was from the Black Sails era, which means both Mark and Geoff were already gone, so it could conceivably be about either of them. But as someone mentioned, Geoff is still close with them; he joined Tiger Army, and Tiger Army and AFI are very close.
Well this song has some ridiculous bass.. that's all I can really say.
