The Light & The Glass by Coheed & 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 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, 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

Liar, liar, liar, liar
Liar, liar, liar, liar
Liar, liar, liar, 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

But 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
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
You're father's dead, he passed in his sleep

Pray for us all
Pray for us all
Pray for us all
