AFI - The Embrace Lyrics






Watching it crumble
Might have eased the hurt
Feeling it disappear
Only made it worse

Pulling it piece by piece
Slicing up ribbons could dismiss
To slowly disintegrate
Could have been the perfect gift

May you feel this, while you sleep
Push the poisonous thorns in you
May you feel this while you wake
Bear your poisonous thorns

Walk into traffic
Running with open knives
Searching for mercy here
That I'm too weak to find

To take my deepest breath
I walk into the raging sea
To drown out this emptiness
It's all you have left for me

May you feel this, while you sleep
Push the poisonous thorns in you
May you feel this while you wake
Bear your poisonous thorns

I hope you feel this
I hope that you can feel this
As it's fading the darkness shifts (the darkness shifts)
This may be the perfect gift

May you feel this, while you sleep
Push the poisonous thorns in you
May you feel this while you wake
Bear your poisonous thorns

May you feel this, may you feel this while you wake
May you feel this, may you feel this while you wake

  5. A.... L....

    2019? Afi "embrace"???

  6. D.... ....

    When you're here as a long time fan of AFI, not because of The Mortal Instruments~

    On another note I love this song

  7. S.... G....

    I don’t know who tf magnus bane is but I’ve been listening to AFI for almost 20 years and this song is amazing. Jades music gets more and more atmospheric and better and better all the time. AFI is one of the things in life that I always can look forward to. Hope they continue to make music for a long time.

    S.... G....

    Stonehouse Guitars Jade is so dynamic and one article 10+ years ago described him as a “technically astute” guitar player. He’s so selective with what he plays, that it benefits the whole song. Incredible composer and overall musician; his flair shines in his guitar solos, but most importantly as a songwriter who opened countless avenues for AFI, from a band to artists.

  8. T.... B....

    Hauntingly beautiful

  9. C.... K....

    Some Malec shippers? 😂😍

  10. A.... P....

    AFI's best song yet

  21. R.... M....

    When you're malec af

    R.... M....

    +Rebecca Morgenstern I really felt that the movie didn't do Malec justice. I thought that not enough time was dedicated to their relationship and the actors playing them were awful. This song made things better, though.

    R.... M....

    +Rebecca Morgenstern same

  22. R.... L....

    Love this song! It's so badass!! Absolutely perfect for that scene in City of Bones!!

  23. J.... H....

    Theme song for the new James Bond film

  24. M.... M....

    I heard this in the background if Magnus party while watching City of Bones. It was just so good I had to look it up c: It's really good. Definitely going to be listening to more of their songs ;D

    M.... M....

    @Meghan Mccutcheon I love the Mortal Instruments books but disliked the City of Bones movie. However, I loved hearing new AFI songs in it and am glad that the movie may have brought people to The Mortal Instruments and especially AFI. Cassandra Clare is actually a friend of mine and has said that the end credits were the only part of the movie that she was pleased with, and requested AFI to put some of their songs in City of Bones.

    M.... M....

    +Witness Me Still better than the TV series, though. I don't know why, but The Mortal Instruments is up there with the Fantastic Four for the most inexplicably hard to adapt material. I thought anyone could do a great Mortal Instruments movie/show. I was wrong.

    M.... M....

    Meghan Mccutcheon took me forever to find it lol

  25. L.... P....

    I MEANT HIM. THE ONE WITH THE BLUE EYES - > deep in love with this, and ofc Magnus Bane. <3 [Also the books :3 ]

  38. f.... ....

    Love how thick and distorted that bass is. 

  39. T.... R....

    I have a big problem with this song. It's too damn short!

  40. N.... ....

    Love this song!  AFI have changed so much!  Sounds like it could have been on Sing The Sorrow (IMO their best album).  If it takes a movie to get people into AFI, then so be it- at least more of the world will know who they are!  Much love, from a DFer. :-) X

    It's different from their other albums but I like it. It's funny Davy havok was dissappointed in the album tho because of how dark it is or that it's expected of them.

  67. A.... B....

    @ingo four

    You are totally right! When i heard this it kind of reminded me of Deftones in some ways but with the classi AFI twist to it. I am absolutely amazed with this album i think it has to be their best one yet. I am stoked for thus music video (whenever it comes out)



    Sorry about the previous comment hit the post button way to soon on ny phone :/ hahaha

  68. D.... C....

    May just be me, but I feel like this song has an oldschool nine inch nails vibe to it...but better. Epic album. Verging on avantgarde at times even. Leave it to AFI.

  69. R.... J....

    This song is epic!!! The bass is freaky cool, and the contrast davey puts in the vocals is unbelievable. This is one of my favorites from burials, thank you for posting it so I could share it.

  70. P.... ....

    Nope, just for AFI.

  71. O.... p....
