Just like cellophane,
you try to cling so tight to me,
but your attempt's in vain.
You've less sincerity than the plastic.
Paper in rain.
The print appears so bright to me.
The words remain.
I hold it to the light, I see right through.
So eager to say, "hello", but you don't know me.
You just know what you see.
Pay the price to see the show but you don't own me.
Before you knew would you have felt the same?
Just when I'm inspired, you drain the drive right outta me,
and even when I'm tired you push me to perform for you amusement.
Just like raging fire, you burn what's left inside of me and to fulfill your desire,
I'd give you light till I burned out.
Just when you start to smile,
I look into your eyes and see your veiled denial to express any real emotion.
Just wait around a while,
you'll lose what you once had for me.
I'll be out of style, I'll be discarded with the warmth you once feigned.

AFI (acronimo di A Fire Inside) è una band punk rock statunitense formatasi in California nel 1991. I membri fondatori sono il vocalist Davey Havoc, il chitarrista Mark Stopholese, il batterista Adam Carson e il bassista Vic Chalker, che fu poi sostituito da Geoff Kresge e successivamente da Hunter Burgan. AFI ha attraversato diverse fasi musicali, iniziando con un sound hardcore punk per poi evolvere verso sonorità più dark e melodrammatiche influenzate dal gothic rock e dall'industrial. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "Miss Murder", "The Leaving Song Pt. II" e "Silver and Cold". L'album *Sing the Sorrow* (2003) è considerato uno dei loro lavori più importanti, grazie al successo di singoli come "Girl's Not Grey" e "Death of Seasons".
