The Light & the Glass - Coheed and Cambria

Slowly the pen touches paper

In the guidance of the words that you write

Memories roll in of the things you once did,

And who you had shared them with

Is somebody thinking of you?

Did I bother telling you this,

With the words that cross teeth and jump lips?

A poor choice of words,

In wanting to tell you anything

But words don't come with ease

They're forever my hurt

Would it really matter,

If you were to count the days left with your hands?

Your focus secure, and the loves you left well

Smiles staged in photographs, here until...

You, you left the light on

There's a chance I might have tripped, girl

You were there to hold on

Ignoring the words

Of your obnoxious little brother

"Kill or be killed,"

Spilled the words from your mother

I'll lay awake for a while

I'll leave the light on a while

But you couldn't last a lifetime

Caught between here and the days of it

Carving her name across your arms

With every wish, it's hit or miss her,

I told you so,

I measure distance in lines,

Departing the rest of my life

But you, you, you,

You had better things to do

But you, you, you,

You had better things to do...

Liar, liar, liar, liar,

Liar, liar, liar, liar,

Liar, liar, liar, liar,

Lie away,

Liar, liar, liar, liar,

Liar, liar, liar, liar,

Liar, liar, liar, liar,

Lie away,

Ignoring the words

Of your obnoxious little brother

"Kill or be killed,"

Spilled the words from your mother

I'll lay awake for a while

I'll leave the light on a while

But you couldn't last a lifetime

Caught between here and the days of it

Carving her name across your arms

With every wish, it's hit or miss her

I told you,

I measure distance in lines,

departing the rest of my life

If you'd get put to sleep

Like an old dog, you're better off

If you get put to sleep

I've been cautious with the words I extend

Allow this year before the world starts to end

Your father's dead,

He passed in his sleep

And I woke to the sounds of her crying

Your father's dead,

He passed in his sleep

And I woke to the sounds of her crying

Your father's dead,

He passed in his sleep

And I woke to the sounds of her crying

Your father's dead,

He passed in his sleep

(Pray for us all)

Pray for us all

(pray for us all)

Pray for us all...

My dearest apollo i'll be burning star four
