"The Checkered Demon" lyrics - AFI
Too much to find
So much, so little time
So many images
Persist to shade my mind
Will I ever come around
Or will I just hit the ground?
Will I still be standing
When it all comes down?
[Chorus 1:]
(Why can't I)
Seem to sort it out?
(Why am I)
Always filled with doubt?
So many people everywhere
So self-absorbed without a care
Of their viral lives
I'd like to bleed them all
When all is drained, who shall hold?
When mindless bodies screw tortured souls
Will somebody be there
To catch me when I fall?
[Chorus 2:]
(Why can't I)
Seem to sort it out?
(Why am I)
Always filled with doubt?
(How could I)
Always be so blind?
(Why can't I)
Why can't I figure it out?
[Bridge:]
I could always hope for change
Could always hope to rearrange
But why not just abandon hope
And tear it all apart, now?
Too much to find
So much, so little time
So many images
Persist to shade my mind
Will I ever come around
Or will I just hit the ground?
Will I still be standing
When it all comes down?
