Wake Up
Claudio Sanchez: “Its a love song. You get a history of the Writer, that he’d have done anything for this person who went on to do this horrible thing to him.”

Fitting with the sporadic, dysfunctional organization of the album, even during his torment and plotting, Writer reflects on the love he had for Erica and all of the things he would’ve done for her. He dwells on the past, thinking of Erica fondly, despite his belief of her infidelity (it is unclear in the graphic novel whether or not Erica truly cheated on him). Writer has somewhat of a split personality now, half that feels guilt, loss and love, and half that feels anger, betrayal and revenge.
