Coheed And Cambria - The Willing Well II: From Fear Through The Eyes Of Madness Lyrics






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
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
[x2]

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

With your last breath of air
As the Earth comes trembling down
Would you give her this last night
The love of 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)
[x5]

    K.... ....

    K.... ....

    Rowdy Rob Gaming let people hear songs how they want to

  12. S.... A....

    Top 3 songs for me for sure.

  13. B.... ....

    I just came from "welcome home". I rescind my compliments on these boys. Not my bag at all. Hey, I tried.

    B.... ....

    Coheed has songs all over the place as far as genres go but they are mostly progressive. If you like Welcome Home you would probably like songs like Gravemakers and Gunslingers, No World for Tomorrow, The Hard Sell, The Hound of Blood and Rank etc, which are more straight forward rock songs.

    B.... ....

    @SHA8UTIE thanks bro!

    Fuck yourself fat ass

  22. J.... F....

    I miss the coheed and cambria when claudio had a fueled hatred for his wife. Is that too much to ask for?

  23. J.... A....

    I’ve always loved this album but I never truly came to love it in my own sense, outside of the Coheed and Cambria story universe, until a recent situation in my life.

    I began getting involved with a girl late July of this year. Things moved quickly, only because we hit it off immediately. We became attached at the hip and we loved it. This girl who had feelings for me, and I for her, had the suddenly started to ween over her ex boyfriend and how much she still loved him. I had given this girl my everything, including myself and my emotions. Eventually, my repressed depression came back and I opened up in front of her, crying and discussing my depression with her. It was a massive thing for me - and she disappeared from my life for a week right after. I began questioning if I could share my feelings with others like that again. Opening up was a step for me and it scared her off. I felt hurt because she’d come to me with a vast amount of insecurities and issues, I’d listen and support her as best as I could, no matter the time or place.

    She began texting me again after that week, messaging me only when she wanted attention and affection in her time of loneliness. She’d begin to put words into my mouth when we talked. Telling me that I was lonely and that I was only with her because I needed her. This was never true. I wanted a friend, and a relationship, but seeing that she was still hung up over a guy, who has dated her over and over again, leading her on and breaking her heart over and over again, made me only view her as a friend. Especially, after she told me that she wished that everything that I was, she wished was him. She wished that he had my plethora of good qualities. Even after this, I was still adamant about being her close friend and supporting her through her endeavors.

    One night, I called her and we had happened to both be cleaning our apartments. I stated that it was nice that I was clearing space for my head, so I could work on my book and poetry. She then snapped at me saying, “You don’t have to tell me my fucking rooms a mess.” I never said such a thing and was taken aback by this sudden change in tone. She then immediately hung up and I texted her an apology. I shouldn’t have apologized. I never said anything wrong. She had put her insecurities into my mouth and had spat them back into her own face. This was the first time my heart was unable to out speak my brain, which was shouting “Red Flag” at the top of my thoughts.

    She’d occasionally tell me I was something special but never went into detail about it, never further than just saying I was special. I never knew what she meant by that, but it always seemed funky when I heard it.

    Going days without speaking to me and then messaging me became a pattern for her. One time, out of the blue, she stated that she had a dream where she was finally beautiful and everyone finally saw it. I took the bait and told her she was beautiful- because she was! I shouldn’t have taken the bait.

    She’d tell me of situations she was in and I’d discuss them with her at length, once again giving her my all and subjecting myself to slowing down at work to be at her beckon call. As soon as she’d ask me how my day was, and I’d give her a true response, of how my depression was eating at me, she’d immediately stop talking to me again.

    She eventually told me that she needed space to work on herself and get her life together. I was supportive and told her that was fine.

    I had been listening to Coheed and Cambria for about 5 years now and I picked up Good Apollo I’m Burning Star IV: From Fear Through The Eyes of Madness for the first time in about four months. I listened to it and began weeping because I finally felt the lyrics. I felt the lyrics. Everything in me surrendered to this album and I began to hate her. I listened to this album at work, at home and out on walks I took nightly. It became the foundation of my feelings for her. The image she painted of herself for me had finally been seen from a different point of view.

    After a four weeks of the on again, off again, she came into work to cover the day shift (of which I work and she has never been in for, so I never see her at work) and looked highly depressed. Everything in me wanted to ask her why, but part of me wondered if I wanted to give her that attention. In the time I had spent alone, writing my book, working, writing poetry and spending time with old high school buddies, I had lost the feeling support her further. After about an hour, a coworker told me that her ex and her had gotten back together- and that he had broken it off with her yet again the night before. Everything became so clear to me in that moment. She had only been texting me, in those weeks of silence, when she was anxious of her relationship and insecure about herself. I then thought to myself, “Watch her text me tonight for the first time in five days.”

    A couple of days prior to this day, I had texted her about wanting the first book, of my favorite series back, so I could read it and reread the entire series. She never responded. But the day I had heard about her breakup, that exact day I had this feeling she’d come crawling to me, she texted me.

    “Yeah, sorry lol. ill start looking for it. im just really drunk rm and suppppeerrr depresso.”

    She had texted me, once again. Looking for attention and affection after her breakup. The breakup of a relationship she had had when she had told me she was going to be working on herself.

    My response: “No worries. Take your time. I’m just excited to read my favorite series again.”

    I didn’t ask her what was wrong, not because I already knew (she doesn’t know that) but because I wasn’t giving her the satisfaction of using me again and again as she has always done.

    Now, I feel nothing for her. I’m breaking off this friendship when she returns from her home town, where she is seeing her family for the holidays, and I’m excited to do it. She has no clue. She’s blind to this entirely. I can’t wait to walk out of her life. I’m doing it in person so she can see my smiling face and so she hears my words, rather than seeing a text, which she can skim and stop reading when she doesn’t like it. She’ll see my smiling face, of which is worn with pride because I have found some self-respect in this time of my depression. I’m showing myself some love for the first time in years by ridding myself of this sore. And I’m proud.

    Thank you, Coheed and Cambria for being there for me as you always have. Thank you for being one of the things that made my heart and head finally meet in the same place. The comics and story are fun and all, but the things you make me feel when listening to any album, and this one now especially now is why I am and have been a fan for a while now.

    I sealed this in The Keywork tattoo I got about a two weeks ago. I have a few tattoos already and they are of things at remind me of my growth and the foundation of who I am. You’ve been added to this. Once again, thank you.

    J.... A....

    Hell yeah. Ditched that toxic bitch

    J.... A....

    It’s amazing how you can build up the courage to ditch her in person like that, she obviously deserves it. But I could never do that, I would be stuck in that loop forever.

  24. K.... V....

    It took me so long to appreciate this song. I always skipped it 'cause I thought the beginning was super corny, but fuck does it make my big toe stand up in my boot at the end.

  25. w.... ....

    fuck yeah

  26. C.... ....

    I wonder what he says after 6:44 “no one runs faster then you eat..” then the whisper.. when I hear this I think of advent children / cloud riding through the forest

    C.... ....

    He says "straight to the end with you, to the end with you." Emphasizing that this song his the character coming to terms with his murderous intent

  27. D.... M....

    God damn, coheeds first four albums are theatre on an album. Learn the lyrics, get in a car, and sing as passionately as you can. a world of emotion not fit for daily life is right there to experience. I feel the pain of losing someone as i scream "as father told son, in the make of his final escape!.." Transitioning to an aggressive resolve "and grieve of those dead when I'm given the time!" Then a descent into total demonic possession "RUN RABBIT, RUN!" In just one single song.

    D.... M....

    Dustin Michael I completely agree, theatrical. I think if advent children, cloud and kadaj racing through the forest. But definitely the end is more like a possession, supernatural.

    D.... M....

    Because it's a science fi space opera. Lead singer has a graphic novel that's connected to the music. The Amory Wars.

    D.... M....

    Sorry, i tought you wrote "all of their albuns" wrong!

  28. D.... ....

    Why so many dislikes?

  29. G.... A....

    One of my favorite songs of all time

  30. s.... ....

    I think this is the greatest song ever written.

    s.... ....

    I think your a idiot

    s.... ....

    @maxwelld23 People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, my dude.

  31. T.... F....

    HOW CAN YPU NOT LOVE THIS SHIT #ONTHEREAL

  32. D.... ....

    I feel like this song's music video should be a guy having a mental breakdown skipping through town playing whack a mole with the citizens of the town he lives in

    D.... ....

    Joker 2019

  33. M.... ....

    No One runs faster than you Eeaeaeaeat....

    M.... ....

    Maggots&Flies its yeeeeaheaaaeaheeetttt

  34. L.... A....

    Best band ever. Hands down. so fucking original. Claudio is king.

  35. S.... ....

    Shall we make a list of all of the Pink Floyd references in this song?

  36. A.... R....

  37. F.... P....

    where's all the Coheed fans?! This song is amazing!
