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
