Coheed and Cambria
The Continuum I: Welcome To Forever, Mr Nobody
[Intro: All-Mother]
"Internal Ba-ba-battery Low. Sirius, would you like to initiate free fall?"
[Verse 1]
Life can be so demanding
When anxiety strikes, capable of withstanding
The pressures you never
Never thought there'd be when you're with somebody
[Pre-Chorus]
Why can't I just let this go?
Hide inside something else's shadow
I'm desperate for release
Wrestled down to my knees
No matter how tough I think I may be
[Chorus]
I plead
Is it so hard to see
A bettеr version of me?
I know life isn't fair
But it gеts worse when you're going nowhere
[Verse 2]
A fear growing since they found us
Voiced my distress, difficult to process
Inside my fantasy of conflicts
I'm scared to question if
If the real me still exists
[Chorus]
Plead
Is it so hard to see
A better version of me?
I know life isn't fair
But it gets worse when you're going nowhere
[Post-Chorus]
My time, it just don't mean shit
In a world of one where I live
Lying beneath all that's left of the dream
Headstone reads "Mr. Nobody"
[Bridge]
Mr. Nobody
Will I forgive or submit to these hard times?
I've made up my mind
To leave this behind
No, the life that I've lived through in this state of review
I reject both old and new you
This is forever now
[Pre-Chorus: All-Mother]
"I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm- I am always awake."
[Chorus]
Please
Is it so hard to see
A better version of me?
I know life isn't fair
But it gets worse when you're going nowhere
[Post-Chorus]
A bit part actor playing
The world's smallest violin
Standing beneath an abandoned marquee
Where the words read "Mr. Nobody"
[Outro]
Welcome to forever, Mr. Nobody
Welcome to forever, Mr. Nobody
You'll find it harmonious
The confines of loneliness
Welcome to forever, Mr. Nobody
