A.F.I. (AFI): "3 1/2" Lyrics

Why am i this way?

Tell me why?

Why am i this way?

WHY???

Open wounds in the palms of my hands

festering through infectious time

I feel so faint as my life spills over you

Backstep over glass as I repent

I fear I cannot prevent myself

from spilling your life all over me

{I'm so sick, so sick of myself

(1)Mother, say you'll pray for me

(2)I'm premature in my decay

(3)Mother, say you'll pray for me} (x3)

Shards of glass swimming in my eyes

A small voice in the back of my mind that's whispering words

I never want to hear

I pray that you won't hesitate

as you watch me degenerate

to reach in my wounds and extract all of my fear

{I'm so sick, so sick of myself

(1)Mother, say you'll pray for me

(2)I'm premature in my decay

(3)Mother, say you'll pray for me} (x3)

{My suffocation, asphyxiation

I've been choking on my own blood} (x2)

I'm so sick, so sick of myself

Mother, say you'll pray for me
