Apollo I: The Writing Writer Lyrics

Artist: Coheed And Cambria
Album: Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through The Eyes Of Madness

In these words that crash my ears
I now stomach this with fear
With my turn I gathered name as the bastard's son
Who by fire I would come
Through these wires I must cut
Atop this tower of loss and lust

I'll gravitate towards you
I will, in the now, hate you

I'll make you wish you hadn't burned our time before
I'll live through this in a manner
cursed at my own accord

If my shame spills our worth across this floor
Then tonight, goodnight... I'm burning Star IV
Only I don't even think of you
No I don't want to think of you anymore
Goodnight, tonight, goodbye
Goodnight, tonight, goodbye

In my presence you might wake
Through this fiction I must fake
Your death to grace the face of my character
With these lessons he might learn
That all worlds from here must burn
For as God demands in the end we miss

I don't want to go

So come on bitch, why aren't you laughing now?
You left me here to fend on my own

This refers to both the over-arching storyline of the Amory Wars and to a past love of Claudio Sanchez' who he is trying to forget/let go ("No I don't want to think of you anymore").

Cladio/the writer is jealous of an ex lover ("Atop this tower of loss and lust, I'll gravitate towards you") who he suspects of or knows was cheating and who left ("You left me here to fend on my own").

In the Good Apollo graphic novel the Writer must also let go of his past so that his Character can believe in himself. He does this by killing his ex lover ("Through this fiction I must fake your death to grace the face of my character").
