Cover art for No Ressurection  lyrics by AFI

I wanted to save you Give breath that escaped you But you stayed down (stayed down) To resuscitate you Breathe my breath back into you You stayed out (stayed out)

(Davey felt her slipping away from him, he tried to pour himself into her, to bring her back from this stupor and this slow pulling away.)

I wanted to shake you To scream to awaken you You stayed down (stayed out)

(It was like she was in a trace, so unlike herself, where had she gone? Shake her and scream to bring her back)

In your slumber you saw everything Everything but me

Why must we stop? Why must we stop now? Why must you crush our glow? Don't you know that heaven is slow? Don't remake our heaven

( why are you doing this? Why are you destroying us? Heaven is slow meaning that creating a relationship takes time...don't remake our heaven....don't remake it with somebody else. Why when you already have it?)

I wanted to save us Wept words that escaped us But you stayed out (You shut them out) I fell down to face you To find you were wakeful And you'd forced me out, I'm nothing now

( Davey tried, he struggled to hold it all together..she would hear none of it, she had already discarded it all....she single handedly took the relationship and dissolved it and he was left in the wake stunned and crestfallen)

In your slumber you saved everything Everything but me

(In her peaceful trance lost she cut him out completely )

Why must we stop? Why must we stop now? Why must you crush our glow? Don't you know that heaven is slow? Don't remake our heaven

Why must we stop? Why must we stop now? Why must you crush our glow?

Don't you know that heaven is slow? Don't erase our heaven
