Vaxis II: A Window Of The Waking Mind (2022)




















The Embers Of Fire lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

We all go up in flames
Going out in style

We all go up in
We all go up in
We all go up in flames

We all go up in
We all go up in
We all go up in flames

Beautiful Losers lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

Your weight on my shoulders
At the top I break down, I call out
Young lovers, please help me
They see with no sound when I shout
But I'm here to attest
With no hope that somehow
Where there's a will, there's a way out

Hey, Kid
There's no shame
Or reason to doubt
For crying out loud
Run like they're out for your blood
When life feels like zero
Beautiful Losers, you're my hero
Never thought I'd be a hero

Am I better off left
A half-empty glass and a thirst unquenched?
Stand up and defend
All you are and all you weren't
In my empty eyes can I find the 'me'?
The more I lie, I find the truth I seek

Hey, Kid
There's no shame
Or reason to doubt
For crying out loud
Run like they're out for first blood
When you're left with zero
Beautiful Losers, you're my hero

Never thought, never thought
Never thought I'd be a hero
The wrong side of courage
In a toy box of phobias
Hook, line and sinker
Time will bind, time will undo

Hey, Kid
There's no shame
No reason to doubt
For crying out loud
Run like the dead have risen
When you're left with zero
Beautiful Losers, you're my hero
Hey!
You'll always be my hero
Beautiful Losers

Comatose lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

I don't want to feel
Fuck it, keep me comatose

Come on, save me
She tells me what she wants
That only you can have your way
I don't want to be here
Like a photograph remains
You and I at the end of a bad night

Oh, maybe this is a a war
I'm so full of bad ideas
And trust me, you don't want to hear them
Tell me everything
Now draw the line
Now draw the line

'Cause I'm so afraid
To let you know
I'm letting go
Oh, I'm such a mess baby, this game's over
A one-man prison and no one gets in
I start to finish but just sit and spin alone
Don't get too close
I don't want to feel
Fuck it, keep me comatose

There's no more maybes, this is absolute
So don't stop now, today's the day
I know it's not what you want
It's not what you wanna hear
But what's it really matter when you're lost
Go sing a song for all the lonely hearts
No more wasted years
You're free to be as crazy as you want
But you can't cross the line
You're borderline
You're borderline

'Cause I'm so afraid
To let you know
I'm letting go
Oh, I'm such a mess baby, this game's over
A one-man prison and no one gets in
I start to finish but just sit and spin alone
Don't get too close
I don't want to feel
Fuck it, keep me comatose

Honey, keep me comatose
I'm so afraid
Afraid of you
Out of this world
And into all of you
Remember, that

I'm so afraid
To let you know
I'm letting go
Oh, I'm such a mess baby, this game's over
A one-man prison and no one gets in
I start to finish but just sit and spin alone
Don't get too close
I don't want to feel
Fuck it, keep me comatose

Don't get too close
I don't want to feel
Fuck it, keep me comatose

Shoulders lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

Listen now that I've got your attention
Got to let you know
I hate to see you go now that you're gone
We can enjoy the show
When you find them laughing at you
There's no worse thing

Hey
My wicked eyes do see
That I'm the one
With the world on my shoulders

You're going out of your way
Just to keep me down
Maybe we weren't made for each other
And I'm just the one you can keep around

Maybe all things have their misconceptions
That's the life you chose
Everyone is laughing at you, out to get you
But change is the exception
Time to brave your life outside the shadow
When they keep laughing at you
Dare you got to say

Hey
My wicked eyes do see
That I'm the one
With the world on my shoulders

You're going out of your way
Just to keep me down
Maybe we weren't made for each other
And I'm just the one you can keep around

You're going out of your way
Just to keep me down
Maybe we weren't made for each other
And I'm just the one you can keep around

You're going out of your way
Yeah, you're kicking me down
Maybe we weren't made for each other
But there's way worse things to keep around

A Disappearing Act lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

He lives inside an existence that strays far beyond
The time perceived as normal, bends all limitation
A king among the binary waves conjoined
In our reality, perceived to be null and void
While I wait for him to show me a sign or be destroyed
I implore... go on walk all over me

I'm a long, long way from giving up
Call me old fashion, call me a fool
His eyes a shade from waking up
A boy lost in the pattern
Over and over repeat

How long have you waited here?
For someone to touch you
For someone to hear you scream?
It's okay to be afraid, I'm here with you

Will we allow
Ourselves a cure before it does harm?
How long before the mind it gets too weak
Before it fails to witness
Before it gets a fair chance to start?

I'm a long, long way from giving up
Call me old fashion, call me a fool
His eyes a shade from waking up
A boy lost in the pattern
Over and over repeat

How long have you waited here?
For someone to touch you
For someone to hear you scream?
It's okay to be afraid, I'm here with you

A world in limbo waiting opening up
A world in limbo waiting to open for us
A world in limbo waiting opening up
A world in limbo waiting

A world in limbo waiting opening up
A world in limbo waiting to open for us
A world in limbo waiting opening up
A world in limbo waiting

How long have you waited here?
For someone to touch you
For someone to hear you scream?

It's okay to be afraid, I'm here with you
My love, we'll make it
My hands you can leave or take them
We're strong enough to face this fear
Now watch time disappear

Time disappear

Love Murder One lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

If you see me bleeding, leave me alone
Don't want you in my world throwing stones
This glass house isn't yours to call home
So we're done... game's over
Love murder one

Have we come to an understanding
Let's agree to disagree
Circumventing resolutions
And all they seem to lack
Yet keep us coming back

Oh, when I drink from your cauldron
I see through your witching eyes
The more it reveals that we're broken
In a love not meant to last it only lives to die

If you see me bleeding, leave me alone
Don't want you in my world throwing stones
This glass house isn't yours to call home
So we're done... game's over
Love murder one

I'll confess what your heart is feeling
In a Hallmark card of your fears
Tonight, you'll make your toast
Oh, to better days when all had seemed so right

I hear your heartbeat thumping
Screaming, "Honey, don't let me go"
I know you're up to something
I know you want to stay but I'm already gone

If you see me bleeding, leave me alone
Don't want you in my world throwing stones
This glass house isn't yours to call home
So we're done... game's over
Love murder one

If you see me, believe me, it's killing me slow
Don't care to live in this world anymore
Lights out, how do you call this fun?
Oh, we're done, game's over
Love murder one

I don't know how to tell you we're done
I don't know how to tell you it's over
But things have got to change
You must believe it
Oh, are you blind, do you, do you not see it?

If you see me bleeding, leave me alone
Don't want you in my world throwing stones
This glass house isn't yours to call home
Oh, we're done... the game's over
Love murder one

If you see me, believe me, it's killing me slow
Don't want to live in this world anymore
Lights out, how do you call this fun?
Oh, we're done, game's over
Love murder one

Game's over
Love murder one

Blood lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

Is there anyone in there?
Desired or left with all despair?
It feels so hard to need
A soul the world may never see

It won't matter to us
If you wake up my love
If you take my burning hand
Follow me into the fires of the sun
Oh, they fear what they don't know
And they'll be afraid of you for sure
'Cause you're my blood
You're my blood

Your eyes swim beneath
The uncertain and what's normally perceived
Do you know that I'm here?
It's true, the silence bores of a time before

It won't matter to us
If you wake up my love
If you take my burning hand
Follow me into the fires of the sun
Oh, they fear what they don't know
And they'll be afraid of you for sure
'Cause you're my blood
'Cause you're my blood

It won't matter to us
If you wake up my love
If you take my burning hand
Follow me into the fires
Oh, they fear what they don't know
And they'll be afraid of you for sure
'Cause you're my blood
You're my blood
Boy, you're my blood

The Liars Club lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

Liars
It's the fear that wakes us up
The truth that things are such a mess
Far beyond repair

Your mind outta service
Hard to find the words worth saying
What we do to deserve this
Everything seems broken when you look at it that way
Oh, it's a disease
And there ain't no cure
Oh, the truth is such a bore

Oh, do you want me to lie?
'Cause I could do it, baby, I could do it
Lie to you
Please ask me to
'Cause life feels so much better
When we just avoid the truth
Baby are you okay
To lie with me?

Deep in disgrace, with empty retreats
Farther than it seems to be
The older I creak the pain in my body
Longing for the days of my teens
Well, I guess I'll accept this garbage
Death behind the wheel with my momma steering
Jealousy here in the backseat

Oh, do you want me to lie?
'Cause I could do it, baby, I could do it
Lie to you
I'm begging you
'Cause life feels so much better
When we just avoid the truth
Baby are you okay
To lie with me?

Baby, are you okay?
Oh are you okay with it?
Baby, are you okay?
Okay with it?
'Cause I can do it baby
Oh, 'cause I can do it
Oh, 'cause I can do it

Oh, do you want me to lie?
'Cause I could do it, baby, I could do it
Lie to you
Please ask me to
'Cause life feels so much better
When we just avoid the truth
Baby are you okay
To lie with me?
'Cause I could do it, baby, I could do it
Lie to you
I'm begging you
'Cause I'd feel so much better
When we just avoid the truth
Baby are you okay
To lie with me?

Bad Man lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

I'm not here to spread your business
I'm just here to keep things cool
Oh, no you ain't got nothing to lose
No, what you got to prove?
Heaven and Hell be damned
If you're made to choose
Oh, it won't matter who's to blame or at fault
Honey, just know I'll be there when you want

When you need a bad man
A bad—mama, watch your mouth
They'll think twice about messing with you
You need a bad man
A bad—mama, call him out
Evil is as evil do
Better believe I'm in no mood

Go on calling for your mother
Good boy follows all the rules
Oh, what you got to prove?
When you're well beyond your use
Never felt so much alive
As I do when I'm here with you
When you need a bad man
A bad—mama, watch your mouth
They'll think twice about messing with you

You need a bad man, maybe
A bad—call him out
Evil is as evil do
Better believe I'm in no mood

Oh you need a bad man
Give you a bad man
Give you a bad man
A bad—mama, watch your mouth
They'll think twice about messing with you
You need a bad man
A bad—go on, call him out
Evil is as evil do

You need a bad man, maybe
A bad—mama, watch your mouth
They'll think twice about messing with you
You need a bad man
A bad—go on, call him out
Evil is as evil do
Better believe I'm in no mood

Our Love lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

Our love won't surrender to the odds up against us, no
But there's something about this I know we can't miss
Let's take a chance on forever

I'm reliving all those days you loved so well
Totally open, I became the one you fell
For worse or better, I would never dishonor
Give you all the ammo that you want, you deserve so

I'll be better once the arrow hits heart
Give you the wedding that you want
You are so out of my league
Out of my league
Oh, I'll be your guide when you wanna get lost
I'll be the sword at your side at all cost

Our love won't surrender to the odds up against us, no
But there's something about this, I know we can't miss
Let's take a chance on forever

Our love won't surrender to the odds up against us, no
But there's something about this, I know we can't miss
Let's do this now or we'll never

Ladders Of Supremacy lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

Oh, we've only got one chance at this
The severity unmerciful, as the tension sits
As the world comes into view
Our biggest fears they seem to all come true

So how we gonna handle this?
When the punch lands, boy, it's all about your fall
Go on swallow your defeat

Stay!
Down, boy! See ya got clowned boy
You got heart but sorry just ain't meant to be
Another one down the Ladders of Supremacy

The time has come for us
Accept all you've become
All your chances burned to ash
The end's begun
Here we watch as time moves on
Away from all the things we could have done

So how we gonna handle this?
When the punch lands, boy, it's all about how you fall
Go on swallow your defeat

Stay!
Down, boy! See ya got clowned, boy
You got heart, but sorry, just ain't meant to be
Another one down the Ladders of Supremacy

Evil does as evil do
All you want they took... from you
So, that's how it goes
Because who you are
Take a look
You knew you never had a chance
You never had a chance to be loved

No matter how hard you want to play
You'll always have one foot in the grave
You just want to live, but you were born to lose, to lose
Now get up from the gravel
And dust off your shoulders
Because, now it's your chance to prove

Climbing up the ladders of their supremacy
Was it everything you had dreamed?
Did you make your mark?
Or did you let them stand between?
Between you and everything

Rise, Naianasha (Cut The Cord) lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

Hell wakes you up choking
And you feel so afraid
Help is this my place
Searching to find what to say
Am I okay

The fear boy you own it
Guilty you find an angel in your arms
She's plucking her wings
She laughs while you go replace them
But there's something in your way
The mark that you missed
Caution you throw
Lost in the dark
Begging to go
And I'm going to tell ya
Tell all
There's a change of the guard
So you play your part
Assuming you know where to start
As pieces start coming apart
She'll stitch those wings to your heart

But it's not what you wanted
She looks deep in your eyes
She sees all your flaws
And pulls you together
Say what you want
Cause you are
Go on now let Heaven know
The beautiful boy that you are

Call me and I'll be there
When you need your great
Your great destroyer
Oh my baby boy
Don't you cry it's you and I
In a do or die
Overboard
Now cut the cord

Remember that blank space
Where static invades
All that you've succumbed
A dead mind once trapped in a change
In the dissaving grace

As you live out all outcomes
The forever you want
Is the never you'll get when you learn
That you're going to be so alone
Oh when your mother and I go
But you've go to believe
You've got to be strong for her

Call me and I'll be there
When you need your great
Your great destroyer
Oh my baby boy
Don't you cry it's you and I
In a do or die
Overboard
Now cut the cord

Silence your tongue
Divide your lives
And gift us all your love
Your day has come
Open your mind
And do what must be done

Call me and I'll be there
I'll be your great
Your great destroyer
Oh my baby boy
Don't you cry it's you and I
Do or die

Call me and I'll be there
When you need your great
Your great destroyer
Oh my baby boy
Don't you cry it's you and I
In a do or die
Overboard
Now cut the cord

Over and out there
You'll meet your great (I'm your great destroyer)
Your great destroyer (I'm your great destroyer)
Oh my baby boy
Don't you cry it's you and I
In a do or die
Overboard
Now cut the cord
Cut the cord
Cut the cord
Cut the cord

Window Of The Waking Mind lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

Time

Time has a funny way of playing jokes on you...
While you're waiting for what you think you know
Will happen next is never what you could've come to expect
And so it goes
And so it goes

Deep inside his eyes I see myself
As I wonder who he'll turn out to be
Is that a question that needs answering...
Right now?

And so concludes this chapter
As my parents unravel the entangled threads of my reality
Not of design but by accident
My perception in question
As I leave the infinite for the present
And rise...
A Window of the Waking Mind

Here's a simple story
And I hope I tell it well
Of a boy locked in a place
His mind, the very cell
Imprisoned with his wild visions
Of every time in space
There's no one in this world quite like him

The thing that complicates it
Is his parents and who they are
The law they're made to run from
Beyond the House of the Stars
The birth must be in secret
So no prying eyes can see
There's no one of this world quite like him

Our pride and joy
Are you there?
Are you in there, safe and sound?
Tell us what you need, so we can help you
We don't know what to do
We don't know what to do

Patronizing doctors
With their diagnostic leads
Carry on your query
It's blood, the boy, he bleeds
But you can't see him like you
So a monster he must be
There's no one in this world quite like him

Vaxis... Son...
Do you hear us?
Do you feel us?
Son!

Vaxis
Vaxis
Vaxis...
Vaxis, can you see us with your eyes?
Vaxis, can you hear us with your ears?
Is this right to calculate his moments?
To find what's normal... is being normal
What's right?
What's right?
Can you feel it?
No!
Can you hear it?
No!

Time
I'll take you home
This child of ours
I'll take you home
With all my love
I'll give you the world
And keep no secrets from you
So life gets tough
But it's no excuse or your fault
My brightest star
Shine your light on us all
Am I wrong or did he save me?
Shine your love on all this crazy

Who says you got to rush to get old?
Figure it all out or you'll be left in the cold
Little one, let them
Don't follow, just set them free
You can do it on your time
So you know I'll be watching you
Armed to the teeth
Don't you go poking
While the lion, he sleeps
My boy, it's okay to cry

I'm telling you...time!
Who says you got to rush to get old?
Figure it all out or you'll be left in the cold
Little one, let them
Don't follow, just set them free
You can do it on your time
So you know I'll be watching you
Armed to the teeth
Don't you go poking
While the lion, he sleeps
My boy, it's okay to cry
Time!

Vaxis – Act I: The Unheavenly Creatures (2018)




















Prologue lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

Know now there is no time, space between the Well & Unknowing. Our story starts there. Well into our future, yet far beyond our past. In a romance between a pair of Unheavenly Creatures.

The Five Houses of the Star Supremacy have privatized the detention zones of the galaxy. These planetary prison pits reassembled from the cracked worlds of the Great Crash. Which brings us to our stage. Where the light must learn to love the black. The Dark Sentencer.

The Dark Sentencer lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

It begins with them, but ends with me. Their son, Vaxis

Here, emotions behold
You've entered a Hell where the Devil is made of gold
Please, don't run your mouth
The questions before have no place in his haunted house
Reveal your selfish pleasure
One more time round for good measure
In the answer you hold
Time would be better off if our souls had been sold

Here where the light only dies to remember
In a place where the blind truly can see
Hear my voice dearly departed
I beg on my knees
It's been my pleasure
To serve your disease

Welcome home
Shed your skin and expose your bones
Take my hand
And follow us into the black
So far that we can't get back

Here, dig me a grave
And toss in the lives that you can't be bothered to save
With their blood on your hands
You enjoy the sun while you shit in the purest sand
Kiss your lover with that filthy mouth you fucking monster
Here as evil now gropes
It's caught us off guard with its hand reaching for our throats

Here where the light only dies to remember
In a place where the blind truly can see
Hear my voice dearly departed
I beg on my knees
It's been my pleasure
To serve your disease

Welcome home
Shed your skin and expose your bones
Take my hand
And follow us into the black
So far that we can't get back

There's no telling when the truth is clear
Pay it no mind
Lines were drawn for us
For all sides
In the afterglow
Echoes of time unfold
Give me your word my dear
And promise you won't let go

It's a shame I fear
From end to start
We walked their lines
Born to play the fucking part
Shame I fear
From end to start
We walked their lines
Born to play the fucking part

I fear we got all we had wanted
Close your eyes and believe it didn't happen
Now shut your mouth beyond your lies
The world knows to stay away from you
In the blood you let run
They march as you lead
We laugh in the sun
Maybe that's all we need
I, and I, and I'm sorry
You can't escape

Here where the light only dies to remember
In a place where the blind truly can see
Hear my voice dearly departed
I beg on my knees
It's been my pleasure
To serve your disease

Welcome home
Shed your skin and expose your bones
Take my hand
And follow us into the black
So far that we can't get back

Welcome home

Welcome home

Unheavenly Creatures lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

We were young and had it all figured out
She was the quiet one and I had the mouth
Until she fell to me
We escaped through the alley in the back
Judge told me, Creature, don't you dare go back
But I couldn't dodge the ringing in my head
Her lonely, solemn voice, through the echoes as it said:
"Please don't leave me here, my love"

Oh, pretty angel, swinging from your cable
I fear, my dear, the end is near
So run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun
Did anybody treat you better?
To obey and follow to the letter
I fear, my dear, the end is here
So run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun

There was something I forgot to tell her then
Between the kiss and "knock em dead, kid"
"There will be no other like you"
Now I can't keep the guilt from my heart
These stuttering emotions keep me fixed to fall apart
I know I'm leaving all this sweat in our bed
A broken heart bleeding with a gun to my head

Oh, pretty angel, swinging from your cable
I fear, my dear, the end is near
So run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun
Did anybody treat you better?
To obey and follow to the letter
I fear, my dear, the end is here
So run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun

Like a son of a gun
A son of a gun
The weight of the world on the shoulders, can you feel the thunder?
All Unheavenly Creatures (oh, oh all the Unheavenly Creatures)
We're all Unheavenly Creatures
On the way to the car, I heard her voice a little louder
"Please don't leave me here, my love"

Oh, pretty angel, swinging from your cable
I fear, my dear, the end is near
So run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun
Did anybody treat you better?
To obey and follow to the letter
I fear, my dear, the end is here
So run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun
Oh, pretty angel, swinging from your cable
I fear, my dear, the end is near
So run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun
Did anybody treat you better?
To obey and follow to the letter
I fear, my dear, the end is here
So run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun

Toys lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

We can't dwell on what could've been
All apologies
The road that stretches out is calling us to find our way back home
You said it yourself, you said it yourself

I know I'm hard to stomach
But we need to move and get out of here
Before this joint erupts
And anywhere we go, we'll feel stuck

Oh, what you want from me is not impossible
Just give me some time to figure a way out of this mess
For you and me and I will, I will

Oh, you said it yourself, you said it yourself
What you said, when you said what you need from me

All apologies won't make things right with you tonight
Oh, can't you see, you're dragging me, I'm your favorite toy
Oh, I'm so sorry but make up your mind, we're out of time
Oh, mama, please, I'm on my knees, I'm your favorite boy

Now it's hard for me to come clean and I'll tell you why
I'm too damn ashamed, too damn ashamed
Did you miss me? Don't you lie
See, I told you so

Your broken heart is all my fault
There's no room to disguise
Oh, don't you cry, don't you cry

Oh, you said it yourself, you said it yourself
What you said, when you said what you need from me

All apologies won't make things right with you tonight
Oh, can't you see, you're dragging me, I'm your favorite toy
Oh, I'm so sorry but make up your mind, we're out of time
Oh, mama, please, I'm on my knees, I'm your favorite boy

Your favorite boy, your favorite boy
Your favorite boy, your favorite boy
Your favorite boy, your favorite boy

Oh, you said it yourself, you said it yourself
What you said, when you said what you need from me

All apologies won't make things right for you tonight
Oh, can't you see , you're dragging me, I'm your favorite toy
Oh, I'm so sorry but make up your mind, we're out of time
Oh, mama, please, I'm on my knees, I'm your favorite boy

Black Sunday lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

You leveled everything I ever loved
Disown me, disown me, disown me
You can't be everything that I ever wanted
Can't stop me, stop me, stop me

Hate, cause I am multiplying
Hate, cause I am multiplying

Who knew giving up would feel so good?
I, I lose, I lose
Keep pretending it's trust and see what that gets you
Your move, your move

I'll be the air you need when your lungs give out
Teasing, teasing, teasing
You'll be the care I need when I'm without
Loving, loving, love me

Hate, cause I am multiplying
Hate, cause I am multiplying

Who knew giving up would feel so good?
I, I lose, I lose
Keep pretending it's trust and see what that gets you
Your move, your move

Black Sunday, Black Sunday, Black Sunday

I'm tired of lying to you
And letting you down (Black Sunday)
The situation has turned raw from abuse
I'll be your clown
I'll be the one for you to use, Black Sunday

Cover over my eyes, cover over the lies
For you to use, Black Sunday
Cover over my eyes, cover over the lies
For you to use, Black Sunday
(We're here to catch the bomb)

Queen Of The Dark lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

Baby, I will be your falling star
The one that got away, the one you'll be dreaming of
Maybe we have been here once before
The darkness rearranged, you're hitting well below the waist
Wait, just relax
Now, behave, the past is all you have

All hurt in time gets better
When the truth came out, you were born to run
When the lights went out, there was no one
A ghost to haunt for closure
When the lights went out, there was no one
When the lights went out, there was no Queen of the Dark
Queen of the Dark, Queen of the Dark, Queen of the Dark

Maybe things could be just like before
No more that I can say before the world awakes again
Is this everything you hoped for?
Lost in the lines between, the darkness found its queen

All hurt in time gets better
When the truth came out, you were born to run
When the lights went out, there was no one
A ghost to haunt for closure
When the lights went out, there was no one
When the lights went, when the lights went out

Queen of the Dark
Queen of the Dark, Queen of the Dark, oh
Queen of the Dark, Queen of the Dark, oh

All hurt in time gets better
When the truth came out, you were born to run
When the lights went out, there was no one
A ghost to haunt for closure
When the lights went out, there was no one
When the lights went out, there was no Queen of the Dark
Queen of the Dark, Queen of the Dark, Queen of the Dark
Queen of the Dark, Queen of the Dark, Queen of the Dark
Queen of the Dark

True Ugly lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

Oh, when the lights go out
Abandon reason, listen to them shout
Divine, these monsters of flesh and bone
Oh, they make hate look so easy, no kind

Oh, show me your true ugly
The stranger you move, the sweeter you become
Now show me the good you've done
Show me the animal
We are the animal

Oh, how the times run out
(Everybody down on the ground, now, everybody down, down, down, down)
Burn yourself here in the heat of the sun
Pray it comes undone
Scream your loudest, no one's coming

Oh, show me your true ugly
The stranger you move, the sweeter you become
Now show me the good you've done
Who raised these animals?
(Down, down, down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down, down, down)
(Bang, bang, bang, bang)

Broken migrant, knife through heel
Sing your praise so Hell can hear
Where did you come from?
The strange we walk, the touch we feel
Could you find a way to love us all?
Don't wake up
Show me stolen love
Everything, I need
Take away from me humility
Over and over I fuss, but I can't seem to sleep as they cut
Oh, no, you can't hurt me

Break, break, breaking up
Break, break, break, follow me
Break, break, breaking up
Break, break, break, follow me
Break, break, breaking up
Break, break, break, follow me
Break, break, breaking up
Break, break, break, follow me
Break, break, breaking up
Break, break, break, follow me
Break, break, breaking up
Break, break, can you hear me?
Break, break, breaking up
Break, break, break, follow me
Break, break, breaking up
Can, can, can you hear me?

Oh, show me your true ugly
The stranger you move, the sweeter you become
Now show me the good you've done (The good you've done)
(The good you've done)
Oh, show me your true ugly
The stranger you move, the sweeter you become
Now show me the good you've done
Show me the animal
You fucking animal
Don't feed us the animals
'Cause we're not done with you
There's no good you've done
Oh, show me your true ugly
The stranger you move, the sweeter you become
Now show me the good you've done
Show me the animal

Love Protocol lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

You locked a knife inside my heart
Buried a key inside my mind
The maps surveyed, the X you chart
Where our hands go to hide

Will our needs stay level
As the terrain starts to grade high?
Should I remain unsettled?
Watch goodnight turn to goodbye
Goodnight turn to goodbye

Hold on to me
Tell me you've got me, sweetheart
The world is going dim in my gaze
Sweet vertigo
Feel my lungs heaving, choking
Clawing down my back, panic attack
I'm alone, watch me float as I fall

The soundtrack placed over this heart
It shares no rhythm of mine
It juts and sways, it ends and starts
All in and out of our time

Oh, I can be your dancer
The one you set within your sights
When I admit surrender
Then maybe goodbye will turn to goodnight
Goodbye will turn to goodnight

Hold on to me
Tell me you've got me, sweetheart
The world is going dim in my gaze
Sweet vertigo
Feel my lungs heaving, choking
Clawing down my back, panic attack
I'm alone, watch me float as I fall

Oh no, we have been cursed
The stage set for a tragic verse
Our love protocoled romance
Our air drained of happenstance

What have we turned ourselves into?
This abstract personnel

Hold on to me
Tell me you've got me, sweetheart
The world is going dim in my gaze
Sweet vertigo
Feel my lungs heaving, choking
Clawing down my back, panic attack
I'm alone, watch me float as I fall

Oh, watch me float
Oh, watch me float
Watch me float as I fall

The Pavilion (A Long Way Back) lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

Carried them over your shoulders, you fear
The absence, the void you'll cause
When you choose to leave them all here
There's no turning back, it's time that you steer

The wide open stares back alone at the cusp
The self that you thought you lost, the shine that burned well into rust
You can't hear my voice cause' I'm not loud enough

Believe me, when I say
It's a long way back from here

Goodbye for now
Hang on, it's clear that the roads about to get rough
Oh, can you hear the ringing its left in my ear?
Over and over, the light hits the dust
It's a choice that I've make but for us I'd choose to give it all up
You want me here? Well, then ask me to stay

The glistening wet concrete, the heat off the road
The clamoring hands and the bus you call home
This is it, believe what you want, in this space, I don't fit

The same day repeats with the things that you see
Dirty dressing room carpets and broken TVs
Is this it? In this water I'll tread til' the day that I'm dead

Hang on, it's clear that the roads about to get rough
Oh, can you hear the ringing its left in my ear?
Over and over, the light hits the dust
It's a choice that I've make but for us I'd choose to give it all up
You want me here? Well, then ask me to stay

Goodbye for now, echo, echoes
Mile marker, minutes, hours

If this is it, and there is no more
And you believe that's true
Its a long way back from here
There's no going home

Hang on, it's clear that the roads about to get rough
Oh, can you hear the ringing its left in my ear?
Over and over, the light hits the dust
It's a choice that I've make but for us I'd choose to give it all up
You want me here? Well, then ask me to stay

(Goodbye for now, echo, echoes)
Well, then ask me to stay
(Goodbye for now, echo, echoes)
Well, then ask me to stay
(Goodbye for now, echo, echoes)
Well, then ask me to stay
(Goodbye for now, echo, echoes)
Well, then ask me to stay

Night-Time Walkers lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

Night-time walker, keep your distance
Stay away from us, stay where you are
History repeats her story, awakened by the sounds of long before

I don't wanna see you, I don't wanna believe you're here
But it's too hard not to when your songs I hear
And all the sweet repeats that make her so beautiful

Maybe it's alright and the world's not quite
What you believed is now all upside down
Maybe it's alright and the world's not quite
What you believed is now all upside down
Upside down, upside down, upside down, upside down

A shattered silence into spinning
The panic as you learn, there was nothing here worth living
Hidden from this, an end, middle, beginning
Imprisoned to watch a play where strangers stare, forgiving
I believe that you and I have slowly made it to our final goodbye
And when they ask, we'll stray to omit
Only truly knowing that this us was how we want it

Maybe it's alright and the world's not quite
What you believed, it's now all upside down
Go on, here in the sound I drowned, our nerves broke down
What you believed is now all upside down

She is sailing safely inside my head while we lay in comforts of our own bed
It'll be alright, it'll be alright
Here, playing dead
She's sailing safely inside my head while we lay in the comforts of our own bed
It will be alright, we'll be alright
Here, playing dead

She's sailing safely inside my head while we lay in the comforts of our own bed
It'll be alright, we'll alright
Here, playing dead
She's sailing safely inside my head while we lay in the comforts of our own bed
It'll be alright, we'll be alright
Here, playing dead

Maybe its alright to turn it upside down and start things over
Maybe its my time to turn it upside down and start things over

The Gutter lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

Over my dead body
The stars will let you know
It's over
Now if I had my way
I would leave you here to waste your final days
Buried beneath
With the possibility of how things could be!
Oh please rest assured this was not my fault
And time is getting short
So I'll be here if you want me
Beaten and covered in a red so bloody!
Oh my darling can you hear?
My words so pure they burn your lying ears

And so the story goes
When I leave will you let me go?
When the words stop coming
And the fear starts setting in slow
Don't let me find you hiding under the covers
It's your last chance oh you'd better
Call your mother!
All our hope is lost down in the gutter

When you're in your bed
Sleeping toward the void
So deep it feels like death
Oh don't you wake wake
Oh my love I hear
Life holds nothing for us beyond our time in here
Oh don't you dare turn your back on me
No use running when the bad guy's coming!
Oh I think you've got me pegged as the wrong man
Oh I think you've got me pegged

And so the story goes
When I leave will you let me go?
When the words stop coming
And the fear starts setting in slow
Don't let me find you hiding under the covers
It's your last chance oh you'd better
Call your mother!
All our hope is lost down in the gutter

We were better together I know that much
Oh can't you see
Through the bad and the good we had all the luck
The devil's got nothing on us
You and me

Oh, baby over my dead body
Oh, baby over my dead body
Oh, baby over my dead body

We're still counting on you
We'll keep counting on you
Mother come on out
Show me what the world is all about
We'll keep counting on you
Mother come on out
Show me what the world is all about
We'll keep fighting for you

We'll keep fighting for you
We'll keep fighting for you
We'll keep
We'll keep fighting!
Oh I think you've got me pegged as the wrong man
Oh I think you've got me pegged

And so the story goes
When I leave will you let me go?
When the words stop coming
And the fear starts setting in slow
Don't let me find you hiding under the covers
It's your last chance oh you'd better
Call your mother!
All our hope is lost down in the gutter

All On Fire lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

All or nothing that you say will make me stay
Misguided by your loss and burning
Oh, you can't turn your eyes, you're glued to me
So if you don't like what you see

All on fire, oh no, please bring water

We'll soon find out who we are when all goes dark
These broken hearts and promises that always fade and never start
Have come apart

So, no longer me, no longer known
Do these moments on display suffice your need?
Please forgive me if I disagree
But your glimpse is now my nightmare

All on fire, oh no, please bring water

We'll soon find out who we are, alone in the dark
These broken hearts and promises that always fade and never start
Have come apart

All is lost and turned away
From out of my head and into the fray
Please make sure my door is closed when no one is home, no one

Sweet phantom, know now that I respect
Your cautious pantomime
Between what's said and what was meant
A shifting paradigm

Believe, my lover, it's time I disconnect
And find the end result
Come slither, you snake, please bring me back
To when life was wonderful

This heart of mine divides
(No longer do I, do I... No longer do I, do I)
When you want it, it waits
If you want it, it waits
(No longer do I, do I... No longer do I, do I)

Cause all on fire, oh no, please bring water
Oh no, please bring, please bring water, please bring water
All on fire, oh no, please bring water
Oh no, please bring, please bring water, please bring water

We'll soon find out who we are, alone in the dark
These broken hearts and promises that always fade and never start
Have come apart

We'll soon find out who we are, alone in the dark
These broken hearts and promises that always fade and never start
Have come apart
(Please bring water, please bring water)

It Walks Among Us lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

A stale side double feature, so bad I couldn't eat ya
Creature, come and get it, Creature, come and get it
Creature's coming
Hyperdrive Mona Lisa, I wouldn't wanna be ya
Creature, come and get it, Creature, come and get it

Your bright ideas always burn me, oh, you should
Come on and walk among us, come on and walk among us
Bad girls, walk among us, come on and walk among us

Oh, honey, there goes your bastard
Oh, honey, there goes your bastard

And all I know is if you want it all, my dear
If you want it all my dear, go out and get it
And all I know is if you want it all, my dear
If you want it all my dear, go out and get it

A bad guy, motherfucker, don't want to hate or love you
Creature, come and get it, Creature come and get it
Creature's coming
Infected, don't provoke 'em, feel free to cock and load 'em
Creature, come and get it, Creature, come and get it

Bright lights here don't concern me
Come on and walk among us, come on and walk among us
Bad girls, bad, walking, walking, walking

And all I know is if you want it all, my dear
If you want it all my dear, go out and get it
And all I know is if you want it all, my dear
If you want it all my dear, go out and get it

Can you imagine all I want?
The time we had and all we lost
To be able to share that again
These automatic feelings, I feel your impression, I feel as they return
Oh, the darkness has its beauty, a vision blindly bothered to pay you no concern
Oh, the beast within me, it raged before, but I feel its fell in last
One down, two to go, I fear this stranger will not take me back

Oh, honey, there goes your bastard
Oh, honey, there goes your bastard

(Creature, come and get it, Creature come and get it)

And all I know is if you want it all, my dear
If you want it all my dear, go out and get it
And all I know is if you want it all, my dear
If you want it all my dear, go out and get it

And all I know is if you want it all, my dear
If you want it all my dear, go out and get it
And all I know is if you want it all, my dear
If you want it all my dear, go out and get it

Old Flames lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

Hey, what became of my head?
The beats in my heart, the jokes that I said
I guess all these false starts
Of a puzzle you can't finish cause' you're missing the best parts

Don't you feel I'm bringing you home?
Out of this pit where I left you alone in
This horrible mess that I made
But I guess that's what you get when you're not paying attention

So baby, welcome back to the man you've been missing
Baby, welcome back to confusing, perplexing

We all go up in flames, going out in style
And Heaven help us if they'd ever let us rest for just a little while, yeah
We all go up in flames, going out in style
Am I out of my head to think the world could start believing me when I am dead?

I was a mess of a man
With washed up excuses, I know, I know
Part of the confusion is me
We both agree that I wasn't the man you needed me to be

But, oh, how I changed and oh, how I've grown
Could she believe me when I've got nothing to show?
My everything, she needs to see
The choice is hers to believe in me

So baby, I'm back and I'm not gonna stop
Baby, I'm back and I'm not gonna stop

We all go up in flames, going out in style
And Heaven help us if they'd ever let us rest for just a little while, yeah
We all go up in flames, going out in style
Am I out of my head to think the world could start believing me when I am
I am dead?

You and me, we're not enemies, I'm begging
If anything, oh, we are, we are
In harmony, sing with me, I plead
Oh, if I can make things right then this will be our night
The world against you and I

We all go up in flames, go out in style

We all go up in flames, going out in style
And Heaven help us if they'd ever let us rest for just a little while, yeah
We all go up in flames, going out in style
Am I out of my head to think the world could start believing me when I am dead?

I said na, na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na nanana nanana nanana na nanana
Na, na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na nanana nanana nanana na nanana

"Are you ready?"
"Since the day we met"
"You're adorable"

Na, na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na nanana nanana nanana na nanana
Na, na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na nanana nanana nanana na nanana na

Lucky Stars lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

This could be the biggest mistake we make in this life
Chasing as we tried to compete for each other's time
From the world we locked ourselves inside, in a place to keep us safe from all to see
They can't hide you from me

Thank your lucky stars that we can call this ours
We've had some bad ideas yet we're still here in this life worth dreaming
I can be your heart, be your soul, just don't let me off easy, don't you let me go
Thank your lucky stars that we can call this ours

A lovely mess we find ourselves in, we brave it so bold
Quietly, we dance through the heat, your hand as I hold
But their warnings left us no concerns as we swallow the truth whole, unoriginal
We're losing control

Thank your lucky stars that we can call this ours
We've had some bad ideas yet we're still here in this life worth dreaming of
I can be your heart, be your soul, just don't let me off easy, don't you let me go
Thank your lucky stars

Remember all the ghosts that you left them with
Remember all the ghosts that you left them with
Remember all the ghosts that you left them with
Don't give 'em up, don't give 'em up, don't give 'em up

Thank your lucky stars that we can call this ours
We've had some bad ideas yet we're still here in this life worth dreaming
I can be your heart, be your soul, just don't let me off easy, don't you let me go
Thank your lucky stars

Thank your lucky stars
Thank your lucky stars
Thank your lucky stars
Thank your lucky stars
Thank your lucky stars
Thank your lucky stars
Thank your lucky stars
Thank your lucky stars

A Friend To Enemies lyrics - Claudio Sanchez

Desert boy, you made your wish
Now wait and see
All alone in this wide world
Afraid, but don't be
You sure found an easy way
To those city streets
Oh, they're yours, patience and time
A love you will find

Broken king, you gave your rule
What a mess you've made
Through a time, you made us fear
You scorched this place
If you could find the will to be
To walk that line
Would they love, love you enough
To keep you up?

So please, tell me your heart's in the right place
Can you feel it as it beats?
I care more than these words convey
A friend to enemies
Ooh, tell me your heart's in the right place
Can you feel it as it beats?
I care more than these words convey
A friend to enemies

A lesson taught, you learned it well
You crazy kid
Applauding all you've given them
The hurt you mend
And now you're off to be a man
It's well deserved
Oh, all is yours, we'll watch you grow up
So proud, all you've done

So please, tell me your heart's in the right place
Can you feel it as it beats?
I care more than these words convey
A friend to enemies
Ooh, tell me your heart's in the right place
Can you feel it as it beats?
I care more than these words convey

A friend to enemies
A friend to enemies
A friend to enemies

Beer Drinkers And Hell Raisers lyrics - Coheed and Cambria

(originally by ZZ Top)

If you see me walkin' down the line
With my favorite honky-tonk in mind
Well, I'll be here around suppertime
With my can of dinner and a bunch of fine

Beer drinkers and hell raisers, yeah
Uh-huh-huh, baby, don't you wanna come with me?

The crowd gets loud when the band gets right
Steel guitar cryin' through the night
Yeah, tryin' to cover up the corner fight
But everything's cool 'cause they just tight

Beer drinkers and hell raisers, yeah
Huh, baby, don't you wanna come with me?
Ah, play it, boy

The joint was jumpin' like a cat on hot tin
Lord, I thought the floor was gonna give in
Soundin' a lot like a house congressional
Cause were experimental and professional

Beer drinkers, hell raisers, yeah
Well, baby, don't you wanna come with me?

Jessie's Girl 2 lyrics - Coheed and Cambria (feat. Rick Springfield)

So, a miracle happened
And I got my wish
You see, Jessie saw it fitting
(Strange to me then, makes sense to me now)
I go and take what's his
Oh, he did me dirty

But things got funny as time exposed
That didn't, that didn't, nothing could stop her
The flip side of Jessie's girl that no one knows
She's out of, she's out of, she's out of her mind

I don't love you no more
(Jessie's girl, lose Jessie's girl and)
Things will get better

Sure, I probably deserved it
(Damn right, yes you did, damn right yes you did, boy)
What kind of friend was I?
The hunter became the hunted
(Strange to me then, makes sense to me now)
When I creeped into her life

Oh, so I changed my number
To 867-5305
That didn't, that didn't, that didn't stop her
She wouldn't let me leave her house alive
She's out of, she's out of, she's out of her mind

I don't love you no more
(Jessie's girl, lose Jessie's girl and)
Things will get better
I don't love you no more
(Jessie's girl, lose Jessie's girl and)
Things will get better

It sure seems strange he put up no fight
When she broke his heart that fateful night
Jessie played sincere, he sure seemed cool
What I hadn't known was I was his fool
We're married now, house, job, three kids
Dreaming of what life could have been
Stranded on the if's and maybe's
Had I left that monster in the 80's

I don't love you no more
(Jessie's girl, lose Jessie's girl and)
Things will get better
I don't love you no more
(Jessie's girl, lose Jessie's girl and)
Things will get better

I don't love you, you no more
(Jessie's girl, lose Jessie's girl and)
Oh, baby, why'd you go and do this to me?
I don't love you no more
No, I don't love you no more
(Jessie's girl, lose Jessie's girl and)
Things will get better

"The Color Before The Sun" (2015)

Island lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

I'm just a big dud
Foolish from the start
I make a wrong move
And the world just falls apart

And there's no cure for this disease
I'm making up, so whats the fuss

I live inside this
Head, and I'm at war
Hero and villain
Same type, keeping score

And I'm not sure what I'm to do
Inside these walls, not anymore

With my own life

Get off the island
And swim back to shore
Girl, I don't think I could last here one second longer
‘Cause in these waters, I'm done for

Now give me one good reason to stay here at all
When the fee is too big, our apartment's too small
Where's my life saver
When I'm screaming danger

I'm screaming danger

Get off the island
And swim back to shore

I'm just a victim
Of unfortunate circumstance
And this was my choice
So shit, well I'll be damned

And I got to stop dwelling on
What I could have had
All the times I could of-
Oh I just want to-

Get off the island
And swim back to shore
Girl, I don't think I could last here one second longer
‘Cause in these waters, I'm done for

Now give me one good reason to stay here at all
When the fee is too big, our apartment's too small
Where's my life saver
When I'm screaming danger

I just can't' stay here any longer, help
I just can't stay here any longer, help
I just can't

And maybe, one day
(Get me off the island) from your sand I'll float away
(Get me off the island) and never see you around again
(Get me off the island) island

Get of the

Get off the island
And swim back to shore
Girl, I don't think I could last here one second longer
‘Cause in these waters, I'm done for

Now give me one good reason to stay here at all
When the fee is too big, our apartment's too small

Where's my life saver
When I'm screaming danger
Where's my life saver
When I'm screaming danger
Where's my life saver
When I'm screaming danger

I'm screaming danger
Screaming danger
Screaming danger (get me off the island)

Eraser lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

I'm just a toy waiting for you to play me
I wanna make, just make you happy
There's no future I see with you in it
I just don't fit, not the right plastic

Oh, I'm not mad, lean on me, man
Oh, I'm not mad, you know me man

How many times I got to listen to your mouth go
How many times, how many times, how many times?

Turn the clocks back to the way things were
I never wanted to be this me
Erase, eraser
Show me back then the kid before the man
I don't think this me is who I am

Oh Middle age, bring me a crisis
What am I worth, does the truth hurt?
Identity ride the tails of disaster
Ease on the clutch, who gives a fuck?

Oh, I'm not mad, lean on me, man
Oh, I'm not mad, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not

Turn the clocks back to the way things were
I never wanted to be this me
Erase, eraser
Show me back then the kid before the man
I don't think this me is who I am
Turn the clocks back to the way things were
I never wanted to be this me
Erase, eraser
Show me back then the kid before the man
I never wanted to be this, just erase this
I never wanted to be this, just erase me

Colors lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

I walk so tired, so opaque
His words, too many I can
Share our cultures casualty
Can't see the forest from the trees

We laugh at a time that came and went
Colors boast from the east sky, resting
Over nostalgia, we retract
And now is ours but the then we can't get back

And when the world comes crashing down
Don't make a move, don't make a sound
Just watch it fall, watch it come down
Feel it as it goes, does it feel good to let go

I lost myself along the way
Restless nights mixed with purposeless days
Counting forward, taking steps
To a better man, the one you can live with

And when the world comes crashing down
Don't make a move, don't make a sound
Just watch it fall, watch it come down
Feel it as it goes, does it feel good to let go

Full of color, all she's made of
Melancholy ways to count her scars
Her scars

Full of color, all she's made of
Melancholy ways to count her scars
To count her scars

And when the world comes crashing down
Don't make a move, don't make a sound
Just watch it fall, watch it come down
Feel it as it goes, does it feel good to let go

And when the world comes crashing down
Don't make a move, don't make a sound
Just watch it fall, watch it come down
Feel it as it goes, does it feel good to let go

Here To Mars lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

Hey, stranger
Been a long while since I've loved you or anything
How the times have changed
Distorted, a figure set in trend, emotionless
And the words lose all their means
(Goodbye, lost and long forgotten)
Discouraged might be the term you choose when you look
Looking for an excuse
My company has gone mute
Since listening isn't my strongest suit
I'm leaving you with this here, okay?
Over and out there

Honey, it's in the stars
And you're my everything from here to Mars
And every word I say I truly mean
Dear darling, I hope I'm being clear
Cause there's no one like you on Earth
That can be my universe

Understood, give me a second chance
I know I could be your better half

It's in the stars
And you're my everything from here to Mars
And every word I say I truly mean
Dear darling, I hope I'm being clear
Cause there's no one like you on Earth
That can be my universe

Pardon me, I think I'm going
Out of my head and into the worst
A world without your verse
A world without you hurts
Please, I'm sorry
I will never let you go
I will never let you go
I will never let you go

It's in the stars
And you're my everything from here to Mars
And every word I say I truly mean
Dear darling, I hope I'm being clear
Cause there's no one like you on Earth
That can be my burning star
And you're my everything from here to Mars
And every word I, and every word I mean
Dear darling, I hope I'm being clear
Cause there's no one like you on Earth
That can be my universe


Ghost lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

At first I fight my curiosity
With welcomed hums and frightened fingers twitched anxiety
Here it comes a clean slate, picture perfect, no mistakes
How am I to keep from blemishing this masterpiece
How am I to know
How am I to know

As a boy, I watched the world through broken eyes
Given to me by a man, his wife, and all they had disguised
Uncertainty now keeps me asking how I lead the most
As they became or will I teach the examples of their ghosts

Free me from this body
I just wanna, wanna be on the outside looking in
Free me from this body
I just wanna, wanna be on the outside looking in

Free me
Free me

Atlas lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

We carried on unnoticed, thinking that
All dream were ours for the taking
And out of that we found ourselves back
At the start of it all
So scarred and incomplete

Only now I've come to this moment in my life
Fitting pieces to a puzzle with no regrets
But if I had just one chance left
I'd hold on to it close
With what little confidence I have
And make no mistakes
As your life's surely about to change for the better half
Now on your mark, get set, clock starts to count
'Cause boy, everything's about to go down

So sleep tight, little Atlas
'Cause when your daddy goes off just you know
That you're the weight of his anchor,
The love that is guiding him home,
The love that's guiding him home (ooh, ooh, ooh)

Oh, I've had my share of leaving this retreat,
But never did it once feel anything like you, you see
And if there's one good thing that comes from my away
It's that you won't be anything like me
And so better for it you will be

So sleep tight, little Atlas
'Cause when your daddy goes off just you know
That you're the weight of his anchor,
The love that is guiding him home,
The love that's guiding him home,
The love that's guiding him home, {ooh's begin}
The love that's guiding him home,
The love that's guiding him home

So sleep tight, little Atlas
'Cause when your daddy goes off just you know
That you're the weight of his anchor,
The love that is guiding him home

So sleep tight, little Atlas
'Cause when your daddy goes off, 'cause when your daddy goes off
You're the weight of his anchor,
The love that is guiding him home

There's no running away from what's been here
Will you sink with the ship or will you burn it down?
Now give us the man that you've been hiding
'Cause this is your, this is your life now
This is your life now

There's no running away from what's been here (There's no running away)
Will you sink with the ship or will you burn it down? (Will you burn it down?)
Now give us the man that you've been hiding
'Cause this is your, this is your life now (This is your life)
This is your life now (Now)

This is your life now
This is your...
This is, this, this is, this is your life now

Young Love lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

4 AM blank TV screen
Inside voice, the need to scream
The boards they creek
The wood it moans
If these walls could share the things they know
Oh, I had to let you go
Leave you alone, this broken home

You gave us so much
You believed in us
And we broke your trust
We made for the coast
And in the wrong hands
You were bruised, disposed...
Oh, please try and understand
It was Young Love
Learning its place, running away

Goodnight moon, goodnight Earth
This picture screams a thousand words
This portrait shows an unhappy man
Who did all he could, all he can

You gave us so much
You believed in us
And we broke your trust
We made for the coast
And in the wrong hands
You were bruised, disposed
Oh, please try and understand
It was Young Love
Learning its place, running away

Away
Running away
Away
Running away
Away
Running away

You Got Spirit, Kid lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

You, you keeping on screaming from the top of
Your lungs, Mr. Who Gives A Shit, just shut up
Oh, the podium is all yours, go right ahead
The plastic king of castle polyethylene
Go on, time to be a good little pig
You're worth it, oh you're so, so

'Cause when the rug gets pulled out from underneath
Just embrace the fall
Oh you got spirit, kid
You're number one
Go on living that farce
Cause nobody gives a fuck who you are

You, I'll never have the chance that you got
No, oh, I won't dwell, I'll just accept I'll be forgot... forgotten

'Cause when the rug gets pulled out from underneath
Just embrace the fall
Oh you got spirit, kid
You're number one
Go on living that farce
Cause nobody gives a fuck who you are

So why are you crying?
So why are you crying?
When you've got the world
When you've got the world
To command

'Cause when the rug gets pulled out from underneath
Just embrace the fall
Oh you got spirit, kid
You're number one
Go on living that farce
Cause nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody, no-o-o
Nobody gives a fuck
Nobody gives
Nobody gives a fuck
Cause nobody gives a fuck who you are

The Audience lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm the lie you use
Surrounded by snakes and talking sharks
Be mindful the words you choose

Their eyes reflecting with purpose, calling
"Welcome to the feast"
Will you follow their actions and play games
And as they step will you repeat formalities

Thieves of our time
Watch as they rape your integrity
March as the beat suggests
Time ticks forward, towards the bottom of undoing all that I
Once loved come take your piece of me, blood or bone
No matter, I'll still be here when you're

Don't cross the story you were always a maybe
Here they'll know absolutes
Oh used and abused now left for show
They lie from their perch to let you know
There's no letting go

Thieves of our time
Watch as they rape your integrity
March as the beat suggests
Time ticks forward, towards the bottom of undoing all that I
Once loved come take your piece of me, blood or bone
No matter, I'll still be here when you're
Done

Be here when you're
Done
Be here when you're
Done

This is my audience
Forever one together
Burning Stars
Cut from the same disease
Ever longing, what and who we are

This is the story of a boy who lost his way and found the

Unstruck, his courage lost
Damaged goods, a trust now long pre-

This is my audience
Forever one together
Burning Stars
Cut from the same disease
Ever longing, what and who we are

Take all matters into your own hands
Let them play with the coward who can command
Now you're just a memory
Of humanity

(The audience, I will show all of myself)

This is my audience
Forever one together
Burning Stars
Cut from the same disease
Ever longing, what and who we are

This is my audience
Forever one together
Burning Stars
Cut from the same disease
Ever longing, what and who we are

Peace To The Mountain lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

I learned to keep quiet,
How to keep my distance.
Afraid to let strangers in,
How to keep my secrets.

Did I ever have,
An idea of what this should have been?
An unhappy accident,
Longing for an origin.

So let me go where no-one can follow,
Lost with my conscience, please bury me honest.
The song drones, I drink myself hollow,
Regrets grow regardless, please bury me honest.

I promise I'll go in peace,
No.
I promise I'll go in peace,
When I'm free.

Rejected to the brink,
Only so much I can change, an artist I wish I could have made.
Am I irrelevant?
Or will I get a chance to change, change the colours permanent.

So let me go where no-one can follow,
Lost with my conscience, please bury me honest.
The song drones, I drink myself hollow,
Regrets grow regardless, please, please baby bury me.

I promise I'll go in peace,
No.
I promise I'll go in peace,
When I'm free.

Peace to the mountain, girl I'm gonna go go.
Peace to the mountain, girl I'm gonna go go.
Peace to the mountain, girl I'm gonna go go.
Peace to the mountain, girl I'm gonna go go.

So let me go, where no-one can follow,
Lost with my conscience, please bury me honest.
The song drones, I drink myself hollow,
Regrets grow regardless, please bury me honest.

I promise I'll go in peace,
No.
I promise I'll go in peace,
When I'm free.

Peace to the mountain, girl I'm gonna go go.
Peace to the mountain, girl I'm gonna go go.
Peace to the mountain, girl I'm gonna go go.
Peace to the mountain, girl I'm gonna go go.

Bridge And Tunnel lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

Oh... Oh...

Come Saturday
And wash the mundane off from the weekday, my dear
This time, love's not the same

I see her face
Oh, and every space, this room monopolized
When she crowds, I can't get enough

So I wait here defeated by the west side highway
To hand over my heart

[Chorus:]
Bridge and tunnel girl
Come back to me
Come back to me
Bridge and tunnel girl
She's over on the other side
My heart lost in the Hudson

Oh... Oh...
Oh... Oh...

It's four A.M.
The city sleeps as I phone the cold air dial tone
Desperate to hear her speak

Oh as I wait hear pleading by the west side highway
A creep in the dark

[Chorus]

Come back to me
Come back to me
Bridge and tunnel
Bridge and tunnel girl
She's over on the other side
My heart lost in the Hudson

Oh... Oh...
Please don't leave me, no...

Well I know you don't give a damn about me
I know, I know I'm just another freak
But the idea of you, you is all I need
To keep me here, me here

So I wait here defeated by the west side highway
And I'll cut out my heart

[Chorus]

Come back to me
Come back to me
Bridge and tunnel
Bridge and tunnel girl
She's over on the other side
My heart lost in the Hudson

Oh... Oh...
My heart lost in the Hudson
Oh... Oh...
My heart lost in the Hudson
Oh... Oh...
Oh... Oh...

Fangs Of The Fox lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

As I first walked out
LA whispers
She hides no secrets from me
She lays them out
On a bed of cracked concrete
She will love her
Under cardboard covers
I'll be your everything

In these streets of golden stars
She'll bed our broken hearts, mhm
Oh, the less you care to know
The more you'll call her home, mhm
For in the fangs of the fox
You will receive the teeth
The teeth
The teeth

Once a little girl with dreams, with one dream
until the lights unknowing
To meet mans every need
Now the burning break of dawn
She counts her money
These years unfriendly
Was it worth your fantasy?

In these streets of golden stars
She'll bed our broken hearts, mhm
Oh, the less you care to know
The more you'll call her home, mhm
For in the fangs of the fox
You will receive the teeth
The teeth
The teeth

So good night sunset
Hollywood just close your eyes
And when the morning comes
We'll be miles across state lines
Oh the escapes so good
It tastes so sweet
But we'll regret the moment we up and leave

In these streets of golden stars
She'll bed our broken hearts, oh
Oh, the less you care to know
The more you'll call her home, mhm
For in the fangs of the fox,
You will receive the teeth
For in the fangs of the fox
You will receive the teeth
For in the fangs of the fox
You will receive the teeth
The teeth
The teeth

"The Afterman: Descension" (2013)

Pretelethal lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

We drift away with the dust
The light consumes the dark recluse
No time to waste in this mess
I will retreat, no sin confessed

How did we get so lost away?

Who will repair this broken heart? [2x]

This world will miss none of us
The sick we cure, the bad we just

Who will repair this broken heart? [2x]

Key Entity Extraction V: Sentry The Defiant lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

Believer
Your spotlight on the subject so incorrect
And suggestion suggests that I'm someone you should not respect
Oh you wear your facade so well
Covered up in a plastic shell
You're a liar to everyone around you
Just don't forget

Face the honest truth
You were never you

Now be defiant, the lion
Give them the fight that will open their eyes
Hangman hooded, softly swinging
Don't close the coffin yet
I'm alive

And it's homecoming
And it's homecoming

Can you remember
When there was no wrong in what I could do
So young, biting off way more than I could chew
And then one day I grew too old,
And my cares were now theirs to mold
Please accept this as my resignation
It's time to go

Face the honest truth
You were never you

Now be defiant, the lion
Give them the fight that will open their eyes
Hangman hooded, softly swinging,
Don't close the coffin yet
I'm alive

I'm alive

I will now bleed for what I believe in
No more mistakes for them to make for me
So goodbye, it's my time to bleed...

... to be me

Face the honest truth
You were never you

Now be defiant, the lion
Give them the fight that will open their eyes
Hangman hooded, softly swinging
Don't close the coffin yet
I'm alive

I'm alive

The Hard Sell lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

I'm paranoid and sick of this
World's misconception of things I did
My language poured across this wrist
In a metaphoric disaster
My guess, I'm missing out the punch line
Unless this hanging noose
Is fitted to be all mine

I stood by everything I loved
While you never understood me much

'Cause there's only one of me
And too many of you fighting over nothing
Oh, there's never enough cool for everyone
And before you know it you're selling out to be in

There's never enough cool

These eyes ungoverned are tearing us apart
Their ears forsaken have given up on art
Now, why believe in anything they praise
When one hand holds them the victor
While the other holds the shovel to their graves

I stood by everything I loved
While you never understood me much

'Cause there's only one of me
And too many of you fighting over nothing
Oh, there's never enough cool for everyone
And before you know it you're selling out to be in

Oh, this ticket window has closed
Save your money, baby
The next show's about to start
Where else can you get to watch this talent fall?
One by one they drop

I stood by everything I loved
While you never understood me much

'Cause there's only one of me
And too many of you fighting over nothing
Oh, there's never enough cool for everyone
And before you know it you're selling out

You're selling all of me
And too many of you fighting over nothing
Oh, there's never enough cool for everyone
And before you know it you're selling out to be in
You're selling out to be in

I stood by everything I loved

Number City lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

Attention we have got
A medical emergency
The patient's condition
Is critical and fading
Oh, I've got this under control
But these is no guarantee
Now should you question
This professional opinion
It's time we'll spend wasting

And oh, if you want to see
Go on and tear it out of me

This case is possibly the worst
That I have ever seen
I see how vulnerable we
As a people can truly be

And oh, if you want to see
Go on and tear it out of me
And oh, if you want to see
Go on and tear it out of me

Honey, release my heart, if you
Honey, release my heart, you let me go
Release my heart, if you, Honey
Do not let me
Do not let me go

A radio transmission sent
To get the heart to listen
(Defibrillate, defibrillate)
A radio transmission sent
To get the heart to listen

Oh, oh this is love from a gurney
Oh, this is love from a gurney
Oh, this is love from a gurney

Believe in Number City

Honey, release my heart, if you
Honey, release my heart, you let me go
Release my heart if you, Honey
Do not let me
Do not let me go
Honey, release my heart, if you
Honey, release my heart, you let me go
Release my heart if you, Honey
Do not let me
Do not let me go

Gravity's Union lyrics - Coheed And Cambria


I flew head first into the light
Weightless, crisscrossing, precise
In a dream or was it life?

Inside this door all answers wait
So saddle up my steed
Where the lies live way beneath

Oh my, I think I’ve made a mess
This is all my fault it’s what I’ve wished

And I was wrong to let you go
I accept my mistake, but you will never know
This is my longing to take control
Baby, please remember the better me

No time to change my life in the air before
Our maximum reach outweighed
Apart, pictureless retreat

The terror meets the truth, no longer who
We now know what we must do
Shadow dancing through the roof

Contact the life you used to know
Gravity, the world in tow
And I was wrong to let you go
I accept my mistake, but you will never know
This is my longing to take control
Baby, please remember the better me

Driver may I sleep with you tonight
Numbered uncertainty
City limits, shoe strewn diary
The roar of the engine won’t cease

All of my love and heart spilled in this car
Picture me the perfect enemy
Our lives are one, colliding up and beyond
In this fatal possibility

I am your, I am your Prise

We wave welcome aboard
We wave welcome aboard
We wave welcome aboard
In my eyes I drown you

Has he forgotten his place
Bait the hook and let it sink
No cause for alarm
Enter the master, I am Dr. Straight

Scalpel keep that lung in place
Nurse, IV needs refilling
Now watch the brain
Responding quite normal
This life I can save

Every man has a point
Where he breaks or conjoins
Among pressure that floods to complicate
Matters close to the heart
Will define who we are
Do we love? Do we hate?
We are only the meat

We understood the unmistakable
Two romantics on holiday and
How they stole our love

[4x]
Caged
Locked in perpetual motion
Carving our wounds wide open
But you let the wrong one in
