Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes by AFI - Album Lyrics & Tracks

4 ContributorsLet It Be Broke LyricsI live in truth, complacently, where's the threat you see in me?

Am I the cause of your self consciousness?

You scream at me cause I can't ignore the destructiveness that you support

Cause my life's contrary to yours

 

No soft words from my mouth

A glazed look in your eyes

I live in the world of reality

You comfort yourself with lies

 

I will release myself

I will detach myself from you

I will detach myself from your kind

 

I've seen your life, but I can't see how it is that you can be

So content in your own ignorance

It's been so dark for so long, now a new light has come along

Illuminating all, so shut your eyes

 

No soft words from my mouth

A glazed look in your eyes

I live in the world of reality

You comfort yourself with lies

 

I will release myself

I will detach myself from you

I will detach myself from your kind

 

 

I will release myself

I will detach myself from you

I will detach myself, I will defy

 

I won't tell you what you want to hear

I will show you what's real

What's real, what's real, what's real

 

I will, will defy

3 ContributorsLower Your Head And Take It In The Body LyricsDrowned in flames is where I can be found

My nose is broke from being smashed into the ground

What a waste, this place I call my home

 

Escape this place and break out on my own

I'm still reaching

Try to slap me down, but I'll still hold

 

In the fray is where I can be found

My head is bruised from always being knocked around

What a fight, this life I call my own

 

Escape this life and break out on my own

I'm still reaching

Try to slap me down, but I'll still hold

I'll hold

 

Escape this life and break out on my own

I'm still reaching

Try to slap me down, but I'll still hold

 

Escape this life and break out on my own

I'm still reaching

Try to slap me down, but I'll still hold

I'm still reaching

4 ContributorsTriple Zero LyricsIt burns, it burns

It burns my eyes and throat

I need, I need

I need no antidote

 

Gnawing and tearing at my insides

Seething, keeping me alive

Hatred poisons me through and through-

A sustenance keeping me true

 

It's not too late, it's not too late

It's not ever gonna be too late

It's not too late, it's not too late

 

Embrace your hate, embrace your hate

It's not ever gonna be too late

Embrace your hate, embrace your hate

 

The pain, the pain

The pain it crushes me

I gain, I gain

I gain animosity

 

Acid sweat and bloody tears

Through it all I persevere

Some sedate through indifference

But I withheld zero tolerance

 

 

It's not too late, it's not too late

It's not ever gonna be too late

It's not too late, it's not too late

 

Embrace your hate, embrace your hate

It's not ever gonna be too late

Embrace your hate, embrace your hate

 

It's not too late, it's not too late

It's not ever gonna be too late

It's not too late, it's not too late

 

Embrace your hate, embrace your hate

It's not ever gonna be too late

Embrace your hate, embrace your hate
