I Am Trying Very Hard To Be Here - AFI

Before you came what was your name?

Did you look like me?

No one’s from here, no one my dear

Not even the trees

So change your name

Just keep your face

We’re temporary anyway

Before you came

We played this game

In our masquerade

Flash, flash, car crash

We’re no fixtures

Quick, now, quick

Take our picture

Flash, flash, car crash

We’re no fixtures

What was your past?

When was the last time

That you recall someone you knew

Was someone who asked nothing of you?

So lose your past

I’m sure you’ll find

It’s in the way all the time

Before you’re through

You’re someone who

Looks a lot like you

Flash, flash, car crash

We’re no fixtures

Quick, now, quick

Take our picture

Flash, flash, car crash

We’re no fixtures

We can’t, can’t remember the seasons

We chant in the man made snow

We can’t, can’t recall the feelings

We cannot show

Flash, flash, car crash

We’re no fixtures

Quick, now, quick

Take our picture

Flash, flash, car crash

We’re no fixtures

Flash, flash, car crash

We’re no fixtures

Quick, now, quick

Take our picture

Flash, flash, car crash

We’re no fixtures
