These are febuiles' notes on The Willing Well II: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness by Coheed and Cambria.

What is this that I feel
And what is this that I fear?

In these arms that whored out amongst the worms
That mate in these fields, oh
From pressure to pain I wish to stay awake
In the measure I test with your love for me
So shout against these walls
With hope that one will break free
So hear me...

What is this that you keep selling me, boy?
I'm not gonna hold your hand here when you walk

You'll burn in hell while they're digging you out
You'll burn in hell while they're digging you out
I'm not gonna hold your hand here when you walk
You'll burn in hell while they're digging you out
You'll burn in hell while they're digging you out

So picture this face and burn it to flake
To shelter it at home at the fireplace
And all but memory will fade
With the flick of the flame
So I have a secret that no one should know
That I shouldn't tell
But of all the... but of all the worlds
[1]
This one won't feel...
This one just won't leave me well

What is this shit you keep selling me, boy?
I'm not gonna hold your hand here when you walk
You'll burn in hell while they're digging you out
You'll burn in hell while they're digging you out
I'm not gonna hold your hand here when you walk
You'll burn in hell while they're digging you out
You'll burn in hell

In the press of your back
Do you feel the shore swell?

Oh boy, I'm eating my way back home [2]
In the press of your back
Do you feel the shore swell?
Oh boy, I'm eating my way back home

As father told son in the make of his final escape
Should all good boys die with God at their side,
At the grace of his gates?

No, the Robot holds none with the mind
And a heart to comply
Then I will disguise and grieve of those dead
When I'm given the time


Run, little rabbit...
Go hide in the blades of that grass...
Run, rabbit, run

Should capture be our earnest fault?
Breathe up through lust and I'll find your cure
In there I'll kill, kill
In there I'll kill, kill, kill

With your last breath of air
As the Earth comes trembling down
Would you give her this last night
And give up your life


No one runs faster than you can
No one runs faster than you
No one runs faster than you eat
(To the end with you... to the end with you)

No one runs faster than you can
No one runs faster than you
No one runs faster than you eat
(To the end with you... to the end with you)

[1] See the mentions of fire/fireplace/flame above? See this about "all the worlds"? The name of the album is "Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV, Vol. 1: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness" :)

[2] I've always struggled to understand this part about "eating my way back home". As a fat guy I think I could relate to it if I only knew what it meant.
