Anger and Acrimony

This song was written right around the same time as "In a Perfect World." It has the air of earlier AFI (as opposed to IAPW being from the more "Sing the Sorrow" era). The anger and verocity of the lyrics. I was drinking straight gin then because I thought I was cool and had real problems, but this song was mainly about the fact that to make a move on a girl, I had to get drunk with her first. Psh, High School, what a crazy innocent time?!

One of my favorite lines in this song was "This war is waged over useless land." I couldn't win her heart and frankly, I didn't know if I wanted it or if it was all just 'useless'. Enjoy.

Anger and Acrimony

Consuming as my belligerent self takes over.
Assumptions of placidness
Militancy runs through these porrous veins
Quarrelsome, I reach for the burning desire
Out.

Aggressivly, I’m shut down.
Burst to life as to your surprised, blind self
This war is waged over useless land.
Land that will never be walked on again
Dead.

We are the calmless one.
Come and be shown the heavenly purgatory
We are the calmless one.
Ride down the rage to us.

They hear the tranquil building, as we are swept away.
Forming to a new molding, a new type of day.
