Lyrics

Synesthesia

Heartbreak incarnate

I'm nothing if not your memories

Heartbreak, please let me be

Your joy and your pain

Someday I will be

I'll be those common words spoken uniquely

Because I may, will forever be

Floating as you feel

Please let me haunt as scent on your pillow

Letters of past all tear-stained and wrinkled

Please let me haunt as scent on your pillow

Letters of past all tear-stained and wrinkled

Just say, say you will follow me

Follow me, invite me to your memory

Just sing, sing again follow me

Follow me, that long forgotten song

Heartbreak incarnate

I'm nothing if not your memories

Heartbreak, please let me be

Your joy and your pain

Someday I will be

I'll be that waking warmth from a fading dream

Because I will, I may at best

Float as you feel

Please let me haunt as scent on your pillow

Letters of past look distant and wrinkled

Please let me haunt as scent on your pillow

Letters of past look distant and wrinkled

Just say, say you will follow me

Follow me, invite me to your memory

Just sing, sing again follow me

Follow me, that long forgotten song

Let me be all the words

Let me be all the words

Let me be all the words

Let me be all the words

Let me be all the words echoing comfort

Let me be all the words that you'd unsay

Let me be all the words echoing comfort, comfort, comfort, comfort

Let me be all the words that you'd unsay, unsay, unsay, unsay

Let me be all the words echoing comfort

Let me be all the words that you'd unsay

Let me be all the words echoing comfort, comfort, comfort

Let me be all the words that you'd unsay, unsay, unsay, unsay

From Dork

AFI on Dork

Interpol, AFI and more are supporting Deftones for Outbreak Fest at All Points East 2026

More support acts have been confirmed for Deftones' headliner at Outbreak Fest at All Points East 2026, taking place at Victoria Park, London.

AFI: "To find comfort in a constant is a dangerous thing"

Three decades in, and AFI are more fearless, bold and evolved than ever before.

AFI: "This album's less warlike and more fearless"

Twenty-five years. Ten albums. A constant process of laying themselves bare in the music, where you can track the inner workings and feelings of a band...
