AFI › Lyrics › This Celluloid Dream

Oh

Calling tears from deep inside
Oh, you're so exquisite
And in the mirror, all midnight eyes
Oh, if I could remain, but it's just a visit
All midnight eyes, read vacancy

Twisted
Twisted

To the lovely dancing lights
I begged, may I cut in?
But they never stopped, playing their song
Of a joyous song they sing
I've heard whispers
On a freezing note, I resonate

Just like romantic verses
Just like a joyous end
Just like a memory, it twists me

Just like romantic verses
Just like a joyous end, twisting me

You land as lightly as the new snow, cinematic
Onto the melting boy and melt away
You light as gently you're so, cinematic
Bathed in your radiance, I melt
Oh

In the glitter, in the dark
Sunk into velvet, praying this will never end
In the shadow of a star, in static pallor
I realized I never began

Just like romantic verses
Just like a joyous end
Just like a memory, it twists me

Just like romantic verses
Just like a joyous end, twisting me

You land as lightly as the new snow, cinematic
Onto the melting boy and melt away
You light as gently you're so, cinematic
Bathed in your radiance, I melt

All the colors upon leaving, all will turn to gray
All the colors upon leaving, all will turn to gray
All the colors upon leaving, all will turn to gray
All the colors upon leaving, all will turn to gray

Twisting me

You land as lightly as the new snow, cinematic
Onto the melting boy and melt away
You light as gently you're so, cinematic
Bathed in your radiance, I melt

You land as lightly as the new snow, cinematic
You land as lightly as the new snow, cinematic
Onto the melting boy and melt away
You light as gently you're so, cinematic
Bathed in your radiance, I melt
