AFI – Over Exposure

AFI – Over Exposure

I have seen ten roses bleed,

seen new petals fall,

I have felt my soul tear.

I have felt nothing at all.

Watched what was vibrant

fade as shadows fall.

I can see it’s been done,

all that was pure has been eradicated.

I can see, it’s all done.

Nothing can erase the damage done.

I have seen ten liars love,

seen two lovers lie,

seen youth, blinded, smiling.

I have seen deceit handed down.

From the highest height, below the lowly.

I can see it’s been done,

all that was pure has been eradicated.

I can see, it’s all done.

Nothing can erase the damage done.

I have seen beasts bathed in glory,

tread across the angels as they crawl.

Take it all away.

Regress to nothing.

Can someone please take

these images from my mind?
