Apollo I: The Writing Writer Lyrics

In these words that crash my ears
I now stomach this in fear
With a turn I gathered name as the bastard's son
Who, by fire I would come
Through this wire I might cut
Atop this tower of loss and lust
I'll gravitate towards you
I will, in the now, hate you
Whoa, whoa

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

Whoa, if my shame spills our worth across this floor
Whoa, 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
All the worlds from here must burn
For his God demands, in the end we miss

Whoa, if my shame spills our worth across this floor
Whoa, 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

(There is no room for mistakes, my children)
(For as I have been told, today is the day I die)
(I'm sorry that I never played the part as your father)
(And from the looks on your faces)
(It seems that's all you've ever asked of me)
(It is time for you to go into these worlds alone, with all of my love)
(I'm sorry and I love you all so very much)

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

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
So cry on, bitch, why aren't you laughing now?

Whoa, if my shame spills our worth across this floor
Whoa, 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

Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa

Only I don't even think of you
No girl, I don't want to think of you anymore
Goodnight, tonight, goodbye
Goodnight, tonight, goodbye
