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

Away We Go lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

She is her own worst enemy
Her heart a landmine calamity
Waiting for someone to set her off

Morse code a clicking out an SOS
Life raft releasing her last breath
Tonight she's going to drown

Without me, will she reach the great beyond?
Believe me, take my word, I'll never break your heart...
And away we go
My little Jersey girl

If we could escape this innocence
Trapped between the fears and the words we kept
We'll live out our later years

Here in our dreams, we'll reach a great beyond
Believe me, take my word, I'll never break your heart...
And away we go

Sinking in this beautiful undertow, together with you

We're giving up
You can leave what little we believe
Our flaw, discard, come give me what I need
My thoughts won't go away, you are my holiday

Together we'll receive and reach that great beyond
Believe me, take my word, I'll never break your heart...
And away we go
My little Jersey girl

Iron Fist lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

The wish you plead and the things you sought
We all think, we all thought
The things I've done, in the world I've seen,
Don't measure up to you my queen
Oh, I take one for the other, and work my way through this machine

God damn this cursed iron fist
When I lose control
Oh no
God damn this cursed iron fist
When I lose control
Oh no

The first train's out while the last one drones
We'll all sing; "We're going home"
As the curtain swings in to cover all, our secrets kept, our love enough

God damn this cursed iron fist
When I lose control
Give me the strength I know, and please believe me
Oh girl, this is what I've become
And I'm going to leave it up to you
What are you going to do?

Cause I don't want to lose your hold on me
Cause I don't want to lose your hold on me

God damn this cursed iron fist
When I lose control
Oh, give me the doubt oh no, please believe
Oh girl, this is what I've become
And I'm going to leave it up to you
What are you, what are you

Just remember
Pay no attention to this iron... this iron fist
Just remember
Pay no attention to this iron... oh this iron fist

This iron... this iron fist
God damn... this cursed...
God damn... this cursed...
God damn...

Dark Side Of Me lyrics - Coheed and Cambria


In those discouraging days
I always missed the mark
When we were comfort and close
I would neglect to keep

Ooh, you safe and unexposed
A portrait of time repeats
This moment now replaced
With an empty wish to give
I give, I gave

I gave my everything
For all the wrong things
In this cold reality I made
This selfish war machine

Oh, this has become hell
How can I share this life
With someone else?
I promise you
There is no weight that can bury us
Beneath the ghosts of all my guilt

Here in the dark side of me
Here in the dark side of me

Now in your absence I wade
Through the coursing, lonely, lost
And in this tragic dismay
I never could believe what I became

I gave my everything
For all the wrong things
In this cold reality I made
This welcomed war machine

Oh, this has become hell
How can I share this life
With someone else?
I promise you
There is no weight that can bury us
Beneath the ghosts of all my guilt

[4x]
Here in the dark side of me
Here in the dark side of me

Ooh, I couldn't give you
What you needed
It's all my fault
Too coward to believe I lost it all

I gave my everything
For all the wrong things
In this cold reality I made
This selfish war machine

Oh, this has become hell
How can I share this life
With someone else?
I promise you
There is no weight that can bury us
Beneath the ghosts of all my guilt

[4x]
Here in the dark side of me
Here in the dark side of me

2's My Favorite 1 lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

Two hearts beat as one
Disguise your mind and feel the hold
This drone, the buzz of our love

In time we move
This churning factor feel the groove
Release the touch that moves you

Oh this is her
No regrets
I embrace your defects
To confess
You were my every wish
I admit that I will never feel alone
Once I call, oh, you home

Oh...

Push towards the dance floor
And together we'll show them who's boss
We'll set a fire once more

Oh this is her
No regrets
I embrace your defects
To confess
You were my every wish
I admit that I will never feel alone
Once I call, oh, you home

Oh...

Oh, maybe it's not now or later
Till you save the best for last
I want to be everything you need

Oh...

Oh this is her
No regrets
I embrace your defects
To confess
You were my every wish
I admit that I will never feel
No I will never feel alone
I stumbled in monotone
While the record spins around
Please turn me over
Slide me into sleeve
Oh girl
Please bring me home

Carol Ann lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

These are the words for my Carol Ann
The girl I broke in half.
Oh I'm afraid there's nothing left
No pieces to put back in place.
I was a monster, the things that I did
I regret, I dismiss.

Oh it's a shame about Carol Ann
And all she could have been.
She soared with such grace
As her body sailed through the windshield
From the passenger seat
I was a monster, through neglect I replaced
Her love for these lonely days

Oh she'll be forgotten
Oh she'll be forgotten

Young hearts belong
To a love that everybody wants.
But we can't have it all
So we take what little we can

Oh mother did you see him coming
Did you see him?
Mother did you see him sneaking
Through the back door?
Still in the time we wish we spent but lost it all
Oh oh
Oh oh
the time we wish we spent but lost it all
Oh oh
Oh oh
the time we wish we spent but lost it all
mother did you see him coming
Did you see him?
Mother did you see him sneaking
Through the back door?
This time we'll reinforce the wall

Don't turn the page love
It's words don't hold your fate
The suit will become one
And from their world you will escape

Through the walls of your heart
I will tear you apart
Through the walls of your heart
I will tear you apart
Through the walls

Random Reality Shifts lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

This little runaway
Against the golden cusp
She screams words of distrust
To tease me
As the motor turns to thrust
Her skin the tone of rust
Her eyes burning with lust

Pray in disbelief
This day be done
A little switchblade, sister
A dreaming of guns
Your courage a disease
It's strengthening me
Oh I'll pull the trigger hun, oh girl, and watch it blow up

Oh this I have wanted it more
While I live in the blank
I wish the past could come take it back
So I could start it all over
Oh this I have pushed to endure
Just to find out it's breaking me
Disgustingly fit into unhappily
With the absolute questions
"Is this what I need? Do I even feel this?"

This burden's mine alone
This world will never know
As I live with it in tow

Oh this I have wanted it more
While I live in the blank
I wish the past could come take it back
So I could start it all over
Oh this I have pushed to endure
Just to find out it's breaking me
Disgustingly fit into unhappily
With the absolute questions
"Is this what I need? Do I even feel this?"

Oh I need a break
From these random reality shifts
And mood swings

All good boys run home to mommy
But you're not afraid no more
Go in through the front door
And give em hell, buddy

All good boys run home to mommy
But you're not afraid no more
Go in through the front door
And give em hell, buddy

Oh I think I made a mess, I made a mess

Oh this I have wanted it more
While I live in the blank
I wish the past could come take it back
So I could start it all over
Oh this I have pushed to endure
Just to find out it's breaking me
Disgustingly fit into unhappily
With the absolute questions

I can't find the answers to this life
I can't find the answers to
I don't think there any when there is just nothing
I don't think there any when there is just nothing
Hold on to what you have, never let go
I'll find out what happens in the truth glow below

Oh I think I made a mess, I made a mess

"The Afterman: Ascension" (2012)

The Hollow lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

All-Mother, are you awake?
I am always awake, what do you require of me?
You'll stay with me, won't you?
I'll be there every step of the way...

Key Entity Extraction I: Domino The Destitute lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

La la la, la la la la [x4]

If you had the courage to stop me from turning
Into what would be the worst in everybody's eyes
Hey, I'm no angel, or the devil of your conscience
To tell you who to be. Good, bad, ugly or otherwise
If you had good common sense, your choices would be gleaming flawless
I want no part in this self-deprecating, worthless, chemistry

We made our beds to lie in them proud, proud of our great mistakes
This warring knife, the flash of it's blade, turn about-face

I implore you, brother
Don't walk away, don't walk away from me
'Cause this is our war

Oh, you think they have it all while you were left with nothing
Oh, oh, you've taken the fall for them to walk all over
You made your bed, so soft and comforting
These dreams await the grey good morning

We made our beds to lie in them proud, proud of our great mistakes
This warring knife, the flash of it's blade, turn about-face

I implore you, brother
Don't walk away, don't walk away from me
'Cause this is our war

Oh, we've got you by the throat
Oh!
All you wanna be...

Welcome all to the everlasting all time low
Please put your hands together
For the ever-failing one man show:
Domino!

Ladies
And broken gentlemen,
The undisputed champ
Of misery
-
Oh and in this corner
We find his challenger
The pride of utopia
The greatest thing ever

Oh, oh oh oh oh Ohh oh oh oh
Ha ha haha hahahaha
[x2]

If you could recall one moment of your past that defined you to be
That made you the man we've come to love, all of the above

This disaster binds us absolute
A thousand lies
You tell yourself
That no one ever loved you right
Ooh, but I would do anything for you
The question fits the question mark
Your signals crossed, your message lost!
Haha!

[Announcer part]

La la la, la la la la! [x4]

This wall won't hold forever
Your time has come, it's now or never

We made our beds to lie in them proud, proud of our great mistakes
This warring knife, the flash of it's blade, turn about-face

I implore you, brother
Don't walk away, don't walk away from me
'Cause' this is our war

One by one, we are together, we fall together!
One by one, we are together, we fall together!

Now my brother
Don't be afraid
We are together, we are together!

Brother!
We are together! We fall together!

The Afterman lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

She gave her heart to a falling star
When news filtered through of his tragedy all the walls went up
Around a world she declines
As the tears from her eyes fall
No one understands, and no one will
All she has lost

If he's not here, then where?
If he's not here, then where?
If he's not here then where?
If he's not here then where?

When she found it there in the cold, blue glare
The words distressed and unfamiliar where the feelings seared

An emptiness had hung, and in her chest, she clenched
Reality settled as the memories raced while on the screen he lived

She teared; "Your selfishness has robbed you of the man you could've been
I wouldn't change a thing about you. I love you dearly, my friend"

If he's not here then where?
If he's not here then where?

My love, Been searching for my Afterman

If he's not here then where?
If he's not here then where?

My love, Been searching for my Afterman

Mothers Of Men lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

In this space where nothing will seem too right
Our voice unheard in this quiet fight
This march we lead will breed our song
To them we're nothing, to them we're pawns
Oh, a desperate play to feel like we belong

Now as we take up into these streets
Remember, I depend on you as much as you on me
Don't try to fake it, let's not pretend
We made you mothers, we made you men
We made you mothers, we made you men

Oh, it's no surprise nobody listens anymore
To what we're saying, to what was said
And in your absence we promised you
Oh, we'll behave, oh, we'll behave
So just keep running, everything will look better once you look away
Oh, I agree, cause' what's the difference?
Oh, is there a difference we make?

Your day will come

The rain starts dancing across our backs
These ardent words seize this heart attack
Belief still strong, we can make this change
The stage is set to occupy the brain
The stage is, we made this, we made this, WE MADE IT

Oh, it's no surprise nobody listens anymore
To what we're saying, to what was said
And in your absence we promised you
Oh, we'll behave, oh, we'll behave
So just keep running, everything will look better once you look away
Oh, I agree, cause' what's the difference?
Oh, is there a difference we make?

Between the dapper villain in a Sunday serial at the podium,
Or another cog in the wheel, just another cog in the wheel
They're both capable of making life hard,
But no bandage can mend all these parts
So why do I give?

Between, between, between
Between, between, between
Between the dream, the dream

Oh, it's no surprise nobody listens anymore
To what we're saying, to what was said
And in your absence we promised you
Oh, we'll behave, oh, we'll behave
So just keep running, everything will look better once you look away
Oh, I agree, cause' what's the difference?
Oh, what's the difference?

Of making life hard,
But no bandage can mend all these parts
So why do I live with this?
No difference...

Goodnight...

Goodnight, Fair Lady lyrics - Coheed And Cambria


Good evening, ladies and gentlemen
I have a story to tell you, of one's slow decline
When a girl yanked on the strings to break this man's heart

Oh lord I think I deserve a little better than this
I think I've earned it
So I'll just keep humming this song and hope you follow

Turn me over, roll me 'round
To find the truth that I don't want found
Oh, don't believe everything you hear
I'm the snake waiting for you, dear
And eventually you'll come to me
I know you will

Oh, I know you will

You're lipstick crazy, I'll make my pass
The drink turns over, the glass smashed
And with a kindness and my smarts I replaced your pleasure
With a friend at the bottom

Turn me over, roll me 'round
To find the truth that I don't want found
Oh, don't believe everything you hear
I'm the snake waiting for you, dear
And eventually you'll come to me
I know you will

Oh, it's my fate to be your biggest mistake
Oh, I tell you all you want to hear until you sleep
I know you will

Oh, goodnight
Oh, goodnight, fair lady

Oh, turn me over, roll me 'round
To find the truth that I don't want found
Oh, don't believe everything you hear
I'm the snake waiting for you, dear
And eventually you'll come to me
And eventually you'll come to me

Oh, we can agree to disagree
Well maybe that was you, then, and now this is me
Eventually you'll come to me, baby
I know you will
