Song lyrics
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 left the light on
theres 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

you couldn't last a lifetime caught between here and the days of it
carving her name across your arm 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 had better things to do...liar

if you'd get put to sleep, like an old dog you're better off, should 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

pray for us all...my dearest apollo I'll be burning star 4

I totally agree, and the way it just changes musically throughout the whole song just keeps you constantly interested, i love the part when they sing "liar" its so funny its just so unexpected but awesome cause its like teasing in way the way they sing it, and the end is so beautiful with the girls singing, pray for us all, its so erie in way but pretty, and the whole song makes me so sad in a lot ways but i just cant stop listening to it.

Wonderful track of the new record. It can't contend with the outrageous variety of "2113", but it covers a lot of sonic frontiers, and Claudio once again amazes with his ability to write such wonderful vocals. The "liar" part is really pretty, and the end is amazing.

Why 23 tracks on the record...the 23rd year would give birth to the virual reaction...the Sinstar, imbodied in one of Co&Ca's children!

I completely agree, this song is so amazingly special. I also love that 'liar' bit bcos they line before is 'you had better things to do' so its like saying she's lying. I also love the line 'carving her name across your arm, with every wish, it's hit or miss... her'

OK GUYS, OK! YOU HAVE THE STORY LINE SOOOO WRONG! Alright so Coheed just got done hearing that his dad and stepmom (all one person) were the ones who sunk the Velorium Camper, just minutes before the Five aclock shadow hit (the deadly Alf, (not to be confused with Al, Alf actually being the plaque that chased coheed to the land of Neverender) note the lyrics "the thoughts they race across your chin" well if ANY of you actually red the comics, you would know chin was Patty's (Al) black slang for Money, which Claudio was running short on due to the revenge of Al(Alf) who was on the run himself because the Sons Of Coheed awoke from the dead, with the stench of hate among them.. hate for Al(Patty). Anyways guys, i dont wanna give away the story for you, so im just gonna let you figure out the rest! ROCK ON COHEED! WOOT! WOOT! I LOVE YOU GUYZ!!

this is a great song simply because when i go to sleep, i play this song right before i go to sleep so i can sleep with it in my mind. the rythm and melody are so powerful you can hear it pounding in your brain. plus the vocals add a very powerful effect. if you listen to this song, i promise youll have at least one part of it repeating in your head all day, but youll like it.

Actually, I think this song is about Claudio's vision that he's also letting her see is coming to an end, or Jesse is telling him how his parents died again, only with out stretching the truth, and Claudio's like "liar!" and he wakes up from the visions cuz Newo's crying at the horror of it all. And he tells her "pray for us all", and then the dog I'll be burning star 4", or he's just telling the dog all of this and not newo.

This is straight from Claudio...it IS true.

This song is from Claudio's p.o.v. about Newo. Newo isn't supposed to be writing him letters because they'll be able to find her and kill her, but she does anyway. And even though they're both way far apart, she leaves the light on like she would if Claudio was still around and Claudio stays awake as if he were still able to go see her.
(The obnoxious little brother is Newo's brother)

I love this song a billion time more since I found that out, too.
