Cover art for Carcinogen Crush lyrics by AFI

Speechless Read the words between your lines In isolation Silence separates of what design I heard you speak Words I know you didn’t write But I believe you, believe them 'Cause you spoke them again in my dreams last night

I swear to you I’m not the one I swear so I’ll become Your only...

Take a bow You’ve performed exquisitely Though the millions scream I know you’ll see Each subtlety’s understood by me

I I would be as devout As the high school sweetheart That I never had, I s-s-s-s-s-s-swear!

I swear to you I’m not the one I swear so I’ll become Your only... So if you are confined to me I swear that you will be So lonely...

Your airs of grace, your airs of grace will fill me Your airs of grace, your airs of grace will fill me Your airs of grace, your airs of grace will fill me Your airs of grace, your airs of grace just kill me

Oh!

I swear to you I’m not the one I swear so I’ll become Your only So if you are confined to me I swear you will be So lonely...

Dream-like Dream-like

... at first i thought that this song was about someone decieving themselves and that if that person continues to believe that they are in love then they will just end up being really lonely because there is really nothing there but now i'm starting to wonder if maybe it's a message to the fans or something, like davey saying that too many people are convinced that his songs are just for them and that he's singing just to them in the crowd and that is clearly not the case, so he's saying that some fans need to let go and realise that he isn't really singing just to/for them, which is sort of the same concept only on a larger scale really... but i could be wrong, that's just how i'm interpreting it...
