Coheed And Cambria - The Light & The Glass lyrics

rate me

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

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 list

but you (you, you) had better things to do (X2)...liar

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

if you 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 (X3)

you're father's dead he passed in his sleep

pray for us all
