Vaxis - Act III: The Father Of Make Believe (2025)


 

Yesterday's Lost lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

If this life ends early
Would I have spent our time right?
Here at your mercy
Or lost in our biggest fight
I'm so afraid of a life lived without you
But we're made to wait
For the truth to come soon
But should you go before me
I'll be right behind you

It won't get any easier
As I start to get old
Please share with me something
Before I lose control
Life's a parade
Travelers marooned
Here in a play
That shortly will end soon
But should you go before me
You'll know
I don't want you to go

Goodbye, Sunshine lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

Goodbye, Sunshine
Oh, the more I wait, the less the time is mine
As new fades to old
Watch the truth reveal, the less I want to know

Old habits die hard tonight
No, I don't wanna be your kind
Oh, I don't wanna do that grind
Every damn night, struggling through life
Holding onto the wrong end of the knife

Oh, things are gonna be alright
Even though it may seem hard at first sight
Be as they might, words that spark fights
I believe in the dark, we'll find the light

Goodbye, Sunshine
Goodbye, Sunshine
I'll be the first in line here at your wake, celebrating the good times
I won't stay mad, we played our parts
And those were the breaks, so maybe some things were hard
It was so worth a good goddamn, but all things end
I can't have you back, but some things are better off dead

The evil you shed for me, you said
Were results of an honesty misread
I must confess, the trap I set
I set to reignite

Old habits die hard tonight
No, I don't wanna be unkind
No, I don't wanna do that grind
Every damn night, struggling through life
Holding onto the wrong end of the knife

Oh, things are gonna be alright
Even though it may seem hard at first sight
Be as they might, words that spark fights
Fuck with me
Who turned out the lights?

Goodbye, Sunshine
Goodbye, Sunshine
I'll be the first in line here at your wake, celebrating the good times
I won't stay mad, we played our parts
And those were the breaks, so maybe some things were hard
It was so worth a good goddamn, but all things end
I can't have you back, but some things are better off

Everybody wants to blame it all on luck
But maybe everybody's tryna pass the buck
So when the blame falls in on us
You'll do what you must to earn the time of your life
The greedy needs of you and me, oh

Goodbye, Sunshine
I'll be the first in line here at your wake, celebrating the good times
I won't be mad, we played our parts
And those were the breaks, maybe some things were hard
It was so worth a good goddamn, but all things end
I can't have you back, but some things are better off dead, oh

I won't stay mad, we played our parts
And those were the breaks, some things were hard
So worth a good goddamn, but all things end
I can't have you back, but some things are better off dead

Searching For Tomorrow lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

Last chance to figure things out
Oh, will you fail to answer when your body can't stay still?
Hardly ever had a clue
Enhance, the future becomes so clear
But it doesn't matter 'cause you find you were never here
You were never wanted

Livid, livid, livid, livid
You're so convincing
Inching, inching out

Up to no good
Searching for tomorrow
Misunderstood
Well, you're headed straight into the flames

You dance between the true and false
To salvage something, but you learn that you lost it all
You finally learn that you can lose
Now that reality's sank in
Alone is always how you've been
Hardly ever had a clue

You're so convincing
Inching, inching out

Up to no good
Searching for tomorrow
Misunderstood
Well, you're headed straight into the flames
Left into it, you're out of your mind
It's so good to let go, so good to let go
Let them know it's by design

Up to no good
Searching for tomorrow
Misunderstood
Well, you're headed straight into the flames
Left into it, you're out of your mind
It's so good to let go, so good to let go
Let them know it's by design

Up to no good
Searching for tomorrow
Misunderstood
Well, you're headed straight into the flames
Left into it, you're out of your mind
It's so good to let go, so good to let go
Let them know it's by design

Let them know it's by design
Let them know it's by design

The Father Of Make Believe lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

I see them for who they are
Baring their shields and scars
Jokers behind the cards
Common-age criminals, serial who trading memories for miracles
Covering up the score before our eyes
With a stance no one's yet surmised

When all the lines blur between all that's wrong and right
Just take my hand, when the monsters turn out the lights
Oh
And you'll find I'm not how you remember me
I'm the vision that you choose to see
The one you can hate or love as you need
In time's absence, more than memory
So now, at your darkest, I'll come as promised
I'm the Father of Make Believe
Father of Make Believe
Father of Make Believe

Pride and grace are feeling outnumbered
In moments where nothing is as it seems or as it fits
Pushed out of place, where our memories
Now enemies, fill voids to take up space

When all the lines blur between all that's wrong and right
Just take my hand, when the monsters turn out the lights
Oh
And you'll find I'm not how you remember me
I'm the vision that you choose to see
The one you can hate or love as you need
In time's absence, more than memory
So now, let me share with you something honest
Father of Make Believe

Where have all of the angels gone to burn their wings?

When all the lines blur between all that's wrong and right
Just take my hand, when the monsters turn out the lights
Oh
And you'll find I'm not how you remember me
I'm the vision that you choose to see
The one you can hate or love as you need
In time's absence, more than memory
So now, at your darkest, I'll come as promised
I'm the Father of Make Believe

Meri Of Mercy lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

The familiar feels so foreign
As I search these spots
For a trail I forgot

Once so young, now feeling my age
As my time comes to a close
As I watch from the window

So tell me why
It's so hard to escape
Out of time and out of place
Yeah, I made up my mind, I'm getting out, I'm

I won't know her for much longer
I'm screaming from the top
Screaming from the top
I just need you to stop

Meri
I'm not gonna quit
Until I can sit at the end of this life
With you there beside me

Is there something wrong with me?
I know those times were tough
As the lights rose in and out
No, there wasn't much time
I didn't have time to say
What you mean
Can't you see, Meri?

Meri
I'm not gonna quit
Until I can sit at the end of this life
With you there beside me
When all goes dark
And I can't see
All my memories lost
I'll know you're always with me

Meri
I'm not gonna quit
Until I can sit at the end of this life
With you there beside me
When all goes dark
And I can't see
All my memories lost
I'll know you're always with

Meri
I'm not gonna quit
Until I can sit at the end of this life
With you there beside me
When all goes dark
And I can't see
All my memories lost
I'll know you're always with me

Blind Side Sonny lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

Hey, I'm Blind Side Sonny
Here to give you the news
The kind you won't like cause it involves you
You want to take me, take me for all I got
Well, you got to catch me
Are you ready of not?
Decide once and for all
Is it trouble you want?
Cause he in your lies
You're only going to get caught
And now you're going to face
Your biggest fear
Your ass is no longer welcome here

Blood, we want blood, we want blood
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Give us some
We want blood, we want blood, we want blood
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Give us some

Go on
Give me some
Go on give me your tears
Know this for a fact
I will not hear
Your retaliation doesn't mean shit
Go on give me a myriad of reasons
I've had to relive through the times
Of all the unpleasantries and crimes
Used up all of your nine lives
Don't fool yourself, Sonny
Now you're living in mine

Blood, we want blood, we want blood
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Give us some
We want blood, we want blood, we want blood
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Give us some

Dancing through a mental breakdown
I find I am always met with doubt
I'll show my baby I can

Change to become something better
But the work I put in isn't what I get out...

Blood, we want blood, we want blood
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Give us some
We want blood, we want blood, we want blood
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Give us some
Blood, we want blood, we want blood
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Give us some
We want blood, we want blood, we want blood!

Play The Poet lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

This place meant for our grave
The dark before the dawn, no place to be safe
What does a dead man say?
When riddled with regret in desperate plays

All my life, afraid of the someone that I could've been, and now I'm through
Relive the things that you don't want to, make you a better them to the ones who do
No sense in hiding that you know it
Blame yourself, now play the poet

I can't rely on you to play the game
And abide by the rules
Born to play the poet, fire your words like bombs and bullets
And aim for my head, go on, aim for my head

Take aim, made to stake claim
Close to something like resolve but the same for decades
Different language, the words you can't seem to say
How can this get any better? Here we go again

All my life, afraid of the someone that I could've been, and now I'm through
Does reliving things that you don't want to make you a better them to the ones who do?

I can't rely on you to play the game
And abide by the rules
Born to play the poet, fire your words like bombs and bullets
And aim for my head, go on, aim for my head

Relive the thing that you don't want to, make you a better them to the ones who do
Relive the thing that you don't want to, make you a better them to the ones who do
Relive the things that you don't want to, make you a better them to the ones who do
Relive the things that you don't want to, make you a better them to the ones who do

Now break your mind and try to find the right
It's all your life, the lines, the lies, now I
Now break your mind and try to find the right
It's all your life, the lines, the lies now

I can't rely on you to play the game
And abide by the rules
Born to play the poet, fire your words like bombs and bullets
And aim for my head, go on, aim for my head

I can't rely on you to play the game
And abide by the rules
Born to play the poet, fire your words like bombs and bullets
And aim for my head, go on, aim for my head
Aim for my head

One Last Miracle lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

A marathon through oblivion
Sound the alarm, we're coming in
If the water should run out while you're in the fire's mouth
Hold me, I'm hoping for a miracle

When reality bends way beyond
Your imagination
Look and you will find me here
In revelation

One last miracle, a fortune sold on television
Where our truth's coming from, so damaged beyond recognition
Ad placement will keep things clever, preoccupied with the now or never
One last miracle, stay tuned for the revolution

An angel here within our arms
Its chorus formed from cold to warm
If you had a shred of doubt, a liar named devout
A hero longing for a criminal

When reality bends way beyond
Your imagination
Look and you will find me here
In revelation

One last miracle, a fortune sold on television
Where our truth's coming from, so damaged beyond recognition
Ad placement will keep things clever, preoccupied with the now or never
One last miracle, stay tuned for the revolution

No, oh, yeah
On to the revolution
No, oh, yeah
Oh, the revolution

One last miracle, a fortune sold on television
Where our truth's coming from, so damaged beyond recognition
Ad placement will keep things clever, preoccupied with the now or never
One last miracle, stay tuned for the revolution

Corner My Confidence lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

Lady
I know you're here with me somehow
Lately
It feels the future's left me out

Wait for the curtains to fall on your past
How could I be so certain this
Would be the last
Place I came so close
To be the one you chose?

Endings don't come any easier
As I needed one, you stole the sun
Caught in the flare, we were amateurs
Scared to get burned as time slowly
Turns to the unknown
I corner my confidence
And together, we break the mold

Save me
I fear I'm drowning in my doubt
Hold me
My time is quickly running out

Endings don't come any easier
As I needed one, you stole the sun
Caught in the flare, we were amateurs
Scared to get burned, as time slowly
Turns to the unknown
I corner my confidence
Don't let me go
Your hand's the only one I hold
And together, we'll break the mold

You're my only need
I'd relieve our worst days over
For one inch closer
I just want you to stay here with me

Wait for the curtains to fall on your past
How could I be so certain I would be the last
One you finally chose?
I corner my confidence
And together, we break the mold

Someone Who Can lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

This is us
Running out of magic, losing touch
All or nothing
Swimming against the under currently
I'm accountable for every little obstacle
In your way
What do you need me to say?

I'm over it
Matters of the heart broken to bits
The end hits
With insecurities turned habits
Living with these right or wrongs
Terrified to tear apart this song
There's nothing left to let go
There's nothing left to let go
There's no time to look back
Straight as arrows
Head to the light at the end of the road

This can't be all that we
Wanted for us in the here and right now
I won't fight for the old life
Help me try to understand
I just want to be someone who can

When life throws a curve at you, know that
I got no sympathy, son
Now give me love
Give me light
Give me fire
No, maybe don't drive crazy
Come on lady, let's just dance once more
The hours' yours

This can't be all that we
Wanted for us here in the here and right now
I won't fight for the old life
Help me try to understand
I just want to be someone who can
(Someone who can)

When the lines of the road
Vanish in your tracks
Life fades on a day that
You'll never get back
When you feel abandonment
All sympathies gone
Give me light
Give me love
Give me fire

Give me light
Give me love
Give me fire

This can't be all that we
Wanted for us here in the here and right now
I won't fight for the old life
Help me try to understand
I just want to be someone who can

I just want to be someone who can

The Continuum I: Welcome To Forever, Mr Nobody lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

Would you like to initiate free fall?

Life can be so demanding
When anxiety strikes, capable of withstanding
The pressures you never
Never thought there'd be when you're with somebody

Why can't I just let this go?
Hide inside something else's shadow
I'm desperate for release
Wrestled down to my knees
No matter how tough I think I may be

I plead
Is it so hard to see
A better version of me?
I know life isn't fair
But it gets worse when you're going nowhere

A fear growing since they found us
Voiced my distress, difficult to process
Inside my fantasy of conflicts
I'm scared to question if
If the real me still exists

Plead
Is it so hard to see
A better version of me?
I know life isn't fair
But it gets worse when you're going nowhere

My time, it just don't mean shit
In a world of one where I live
Lying beneath all that's left of the dream
Headstone reads "Mr. Nobody"

Mr. Nobody
Will I forgive or submit to these hard times?
I've made up my mind
To leave this behind
No, the life that I've lived through in this state of review
I reject both old and new you
This is forever now

Please
Is it so hard to see
A better version of me?
I know life isn't fair
But it gets worse when you're going nowhere

A bit part actor playing
The world's smallest violin
Standing beneath an abandoned marquee
Where the words read "Mr. Nobody"

Welcome to forever, Mr. Nobody
Welcome to forever, Mr. Nobody
You'll find it harmonious
The confines of loneliness
Welcome to forever, Mr. Nobody

The Continuum II: The Flood lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

We had our sunshine
In a life so surreal
A restricted lifetime
Where death becomes real

I can't find
Where I fit in this place
To trace the lines
That age gave to our face

Understand

You should be afraid of me
Time lost the key
That unlocks the beat of my heart
Where I once loved
Now pumps cold blood
You mean nothing to me
A memory lost on the flood

Oh, if I could, I would leave you here
To soldier onward, to face what you fear
The choice isn't mine
To have my time erased
Will you remember
I took up this space?

Are you afraid of me?
Time lost the key
That unlocks the beat of my heart
Where I once loved
Now pumps cold blood
You mean nothing to me
A memory lost in the flood

In the days, through the light, the shade saves me from
What you cannot be, I couldn't give to you
With the chance to leave comes the chance I take
To lose everything power illuminates

Water rushing
Everlasting
Over all these precious things
Hear them whispering
Sharing secrets
Through a force-fed lyric

I can't seem to dream anymore
I don't even dream anymore

Are you afraid of me?
Time lost the key
That unlocks the beat of my heart
Where I once loved
Now pumps cold blood
You mean nothing to me
But a memory lost in the flood

Ah, ah
Just memories lost in the flood
Flood, ah
Just memories lost in the flood
Where I once loved
Now pumps cold blood
When I cease to dream
I'm a memory lost in the flood
Ah, ah, ah

The Continuum III: Tethered Together lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

Your eyes on me
Search for things you can't see
Looking to find something better
Don't be afraid of whatever comes next
This now will be ours till it's severed

And all these ghosts don't scare me woke
Hold me close to your flame

We'll all sing together
From the first verse to the last word
Our voices will unify in harmony
Sing together, tethered forever

With the weight this carries
For the moment it brings
A target to seize good measure
In the end, I will make sure
We'll be on my terms
A bed I could lay in, forever unnerved
No regrets, never
At the stop or the start
Here is my chance to now pull it apart, so while

We'll all sing together
From the first verse to the last word
Our voices will unify in harmony
Sing together, tethered forever

Together
Together

And all these ghosts don't scare me woke
Hold me close to your flame

We'll all sing together
From the first verse to the last word
Our voices will unify in harmony
Sing together, tethered forever

We'll all sing together
From the first verse to the last word
Our voices will unify in harmony
Sing together, tethered forever

The Continuum IV: So It Goes lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

[Backwards:]
Please, somebody, open this lock

It's all in my head, these lines
That connect you and me and everything between us
It's all by design, the divide
Your experience from mine to decide how you feel about
Oh, the way I shake out of control
Don't look at me, I'm ashamed of what you'll see
But you keep on still with those eyes
From a space where someone like me shouldn't be alive

Oh, it feels so strange to watch
Life pass me by without so much
As a whisper, well, so it goes

Out of my head and into your arms
Confused by protection, I lost your affection
Mother, wake me 'cause sleeping, I'm not
It feels like a dream if dreams were just pins and needles
Buried deep inside my skin
There's no time to fiddle on the back of broken
The space behind his eyes, it scares the kids
Here at the end, where everyone begins

Oh, it feels so strange to watch
Life pass me by without so much
As a whisper, well, so it goes

Please, somebody open this lock
My mind is breaking apart
Is there a way for the light to escape the dark?
Please, somebody open this lock
My mind is breaking apart
Is there a way for the light to escape the dark?

Oh-oh-oh-oh, so I'm
I'm just a broken window

Oh, it feels so strange to watch
Life pass me by without so much
As a whisper

Well, so it goes
Well, so it goes
Well, so it goes

Key Entity Extraction VI - Melvin The Mistake lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

I'm getting tired of all the complaining
There's no sight of it ending
Our needs of today seem to get in the way

If only we surrendered to truth all for the better
Could be over much faster, and happier we'd be
Just cause one another, wake up, pretender
The world we've imagined is chained to the track, screaming

Full steam ahead
Everybody all aboard
Come what may
You're gonna have the time of your life with me
Young and reckless fool, what's at stake
If there's no risk you can take?
If you're feeling so sure
Then let me be your big mistake

Tell me something that I don't already know will keep me whole
Now that the foolish have come
With their tricks, all their positive outcomes
A thorn in my side, I've come to realize
Now get on the tracks, stupid

Full steam ahead
Everybody all aboard
Come what may
You're gonna have the time of your life with me
Motherfucker, fools! What's at stake
If there's no risk you should take?
If you're feeling so sure
Then let me be your big mistake

Sensitive subject, it's always something
Hurt someone's feelings, they come and they go
Narcissistic behavior, they can't see beyond the pale of their woes

Sensitive subject, it's always something
Hurt someone's feelings, they come and they go
Narcissistic behavior, they can't see beyond the pale of their woes

Grind into gravel
Grind into gravel
Grind into gravel
That left the emptiest silhouette
Grind into gravel
Grind into gravel
Grind into gravel
That left the emptiest silhouette

Full steam ahead
Everybody all aboard
Come what may
You're gonna have the time of your life, guaranteed
Young and restless fools, what's at stake
If there's no risk you can take?
If you're feeling so sure
Then let me be your big mistake

Full steam ahead
We're speeding toward a laughing catastrophe
Let me be your, let me be your big mistake
Full steam ahead
We're speeding toward a laughing catastrophe and I love it
Be your, let me be your big mistake

Key Entity Extraction VII - Yuko The Trivial lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

A long way till I get inside
The pretty grave that you dig, bright eyes
You laugh as I dive
This is more than a game, come out
I feel so ashamed about
The days we used to burn

I'm about to break
I'm about to break out
I'm about to break
I'm about to break out
Break out
Bury me

I'm so damn tired
My brain's on fire
And I can't sleep knowing you don't think
You're the one
It's so trivial
'Cause you just might be the one I need

I'm a little discouraged by
The things I find make you laugh make me cry
It's all so troubling
These lonely days and nights will serve you oh, so well
Go find yourself, go find yourself
And leave me out of all your your little show and tell

I'm so damn tired
My brain's on fire
And I can't sleep knowing you don't think
You're the one
It's so trivial
'Cause you just might be the one I need

There's no more that I can say to let you in
Little girl, little girl
I'm not waiting here, not waiting here no more

Yeah, I'm so tired
Yeah, I'm so tired

I'm so damn tired
My brain's on fire
And I can't sleep knowing you don't think
You're the one
It's so trivial
'Cause you just might be the one I need

I'm so damn tired
My brain's on fire
And I can't sleep knowing you don't think
You're the one
It's so trivial
'Cause you just might be the one I need

You just might be
You just might be
The one I need

Key Entity Extraction VIII - Peter The Wishing lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

When I stepped out of the house
How could I know those words
We shared would be our last?
And the world would come down around us
Ooh, where the window screen just won't budge
And your image still lives
Reflecting in headlights, tears, and skin
I would give anything

If I could have my way
I'd have you stay
But in my manic memory
You remain my everything
If I could hear your voice
What would you say?
Look how far you've come
Son, you've already won
Wishing my faith upon it
Here we go, 11:11

This can't be the way
I dreamt it could be
So far away, emptied of all
All of my love
So goodnight, my king
Goodnight and goodbye

My grip pressed tight to the wheel
The sun in my eyes
To greet me back
To a world that can't be real

If I could have my way
I'd have you stay
But in my manic memory
You remain my everything
If I could hear your voice
What would you say?
Look how far you've come
Son, you've already won
Wishing my faith upon it
Here we go, 11:11

The stone shares the name
While the dirt holds nothing
Words will impart
The strength to move, to start
This life will not wait
With the pain I try to tame
The fire in this heart
And the truth that we all
Are going to lose someone

Oh, when my memories die
I will lose all of you, and I'm not ready
To let you go, oh no
And through the waves I row
To an end so near, she's coy, she's calling

Be patient, it's your time to let go
Of the tender moments that won't come tomorrow
Words no longer have a way
Of conveying the need to say
And as the moment mounts
I wish forever you could stay

I want everyone to stay around always
Hold on to me forever to wherever we go
I want everyone to stay around always
Hold on to me forever to wherever we go
I want everyone to stay around always
Hold on to me forever to wherever we go

Key Entity Extraction IX - Shiloh The Selfish lyrics - Coheed And Cambria

Ah, don't you tease me please, I'm fragile, you know
On my hands, my knees, I'm begging you so
These words I give to you
Don't mean much to help diffuse
The situation is taut between borrowed and bought
So look at me now, I'm breaking apart

Save your skin for the butcher is coming home
Hey doll, you're living in a slaughterhouse
Kiss his lips and let him walk right in, you sellout
Let him know that it's just business, you're just trying to live
In the wrong place, someone else's bed, why?
You can't beat yourself up, got no time to cry for help
Now get up, you're in the business of saving yourself

You can't find a better way, you can't leave me alone
No self-defense, no luck, I need some help
All our gods are here
Watch them all get off for cutting 'em off, cutting 'em off

Save your skin for the butcher is coming home
Hey doll, you're living in a slaughterhouse
Kiss his lips and let him walk right in, you sellout
Let him know that it's just business, you're just trying to live
In the wrong place, someone else's bed, why?
You can't beat yourself up, got no time to cry for help
Now get up, you're in the business of saving yourself

Oh, my dear, I'm yours, yours
The notion as we near the time
Of our lives, ripe with decay
Unknown to our dismay
The grave where I may lay
The cell, you know the drill
Useless mute of the dark
The cross, a token of fear
I can, I can hear and see everything before it's coming

Save your skin for the butcher is coming home
Hey doll, you're living in a slaughterhouse
Kiss his lips and let him walk right in, you sellout
Let him know that it's just business, you're just trying to live
In the wrong place, someone else's bed, why?
You can't beat yourself up, got no time to cry for help
Now get up, oh, get up
Now baby, it's just business, you're just trying to live
In the wrong place, someone else's bed, why?
You can't beat yourself up, got no time to cry for help
Now get up, you're in the business of saving yourself

You're in the business of saving yourself
