The Suffering

Coheed And Cambria · Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV, Volume 1: From Fe [2005]

Is there word or right to say

Even in this old-fashioned way?

Go make your move girl.

I'm not coming home.



Would things have changed if I could've stayed?

Would you have loved me either way?

Dressed to the blues

Day to day with my collar up.



Decision sits so make it quick

A breath inhaled from an air so sick

I cursed the day that I'd learned

Of the web you span

You had your hold till bleeding



(Hey, Hey!)

If it was up to me

I would've figured you out

Way before the year clocked out

Oh, I hope you're waiting



(Hey, Hey!)

If it was up to me

I would have never walked out

So until the sun burns out

Oh, I hope you're waiting



We have lived as a child would care

With this vial to drink I dare

(Oh where have you been, oh where have you been)

Only to cry all alone with your taste on tongue

(Oh where have you been if it hurts to be forgiving, Bye)



Should we try this again with hope (Bye, bye)

Or is it lost, give up the ghost

And should I die all alone as I knew I would

(Then burn in hell young sinner)



(Hey, Hey!)

If it was up to me

I would've figured you out

Way before the year clocked out

Oh, I hope you're waiting

Oh, I hope you're waiting



Listen well, will you marry me (Not now, Boy)

And are you well in the Suffering (You've been)

The most gracious of hosts

You may be invited, girl, but you're not coming in



Listen well, will you marry me (Not now, Boy)

And are you well in the Suffering (You've been)

The most gracious of hosts

I may be invited, girl, but I'm not coming in

And you're not coming in
