Hold The Door Lyrics – armor for sleep

There's plenty of space for me
In the back of your car
I can move all your things around
Was standing alone
On the side of the road
Till I saw your headlights catch me

I keep to myself on the ride
Trying hard to hide
All the dirt that covers me
You only can hide who you are
If you don't care
Where you're going anyway

I don't wanna be
Who I was back then
I almost lost you again
I don't wanna see through the eyes of a liar
Hold the door for me

I set them on fire back then
They didn't know what hit them
It's always the ones
You never suspect
Don't wanna accept
What I've become

I don't wanna be
Who I was back then
I almost lost you again
I don't wanna see through the eyes of a liar
Hold the door for me

I don't wanna be
Who I was back then
I almost lost you again
I don't wanna see through the eyes of a liar
Hold the door for me

Don't wanna take the wheel from you
Just keep on driving
Keep on driving
Just tell me what you want me to do
Just keep on driving
Keep on driving

I don't wanna be
Who I was back then
I almost lost you

I don't wanna be
Who I was back then
I almost lost you

I don't wanna be
Who I was back then
I almost lost you again
I don't wanna see through the eyes of a liar
Hold the door for me

I don't wanna be
Who I was back then
I almost lost you again
I don't wanna see through the eyes of a liar
Hold the door for me

I don't wanna be
Who I was back then
I almost lost you again
I don't wanna see through the eyes of a liar
Hold the door for me

Hold the door for me
For me

Run Right Back In Lyrics – armor for sleep

I’ve got soul working for me half the time, only when I’m half alive.
Thinking of someone else.
I saw you praying just to pray for me.
I felt something happening.
I was just falling asleep.

But thanks for your help, thanks for your help.
Pulling me from the flames, (and stop the fire)
I’ll just wait ‘til you leave, then run right back in.
I’ll run right back in,
I’ll run right back in,
I’ll run right back in.

I’ve got plans mostly just to hang around, hoping for a hand me down.
Staring at my bright future.
I drive around waving like a sad parade, at the kids all out to play.
I’m good; go have fun on your own.

But thanks for your help, thanks for your help.
Pulling me from the flames, (and stop the fire)
I’ll just wait ‘til you leave, then run right back in.
I’ll run right back in,
I’ll run right back in,
I’ll run right back in.

Can you see my room from there, burning, burning? [x4]

Pulling me from the flames, (can try to pull me out).
Pulling me from the flames, (can try to pull me out)
I’ll run right back in, I’ll run right back in, I’ll run right back in.

Pulling me from the flames…
Pulling me from the flames…
Pulling me from the flames…

I’ll run right back in. [x5]

Snow Globe Lyrics – armor for sleep

I used to believe that no one else was alive.
And all of the world was just a show inside my own mind.
The dog’s on a leash, tied to a pole, shaking above the snow
I try to pretend, I try to pretend, everything’s just in my head.

The choir’s in line, belting its soul, over the dying crowd.
Singing for love, their voices will soar, and disappear through the floor.

I used to believe that no one else was alive.
And all of the world was just a show inside my own mind.

End Of The World Lyrics – armor for sleep

Tidal waves are gonna swallow your town alive,
Terrorists are gonna poison all our skies.
Bodies are gonna wash up on the beach,
Hell is gonna bring your parents to their knees.

You escape, I'll stay,
I'm so tired of running away.

I wanna stay at home for the end of the world,
Falling asleep when they're dropping the bomb.
This is all a dream,
That's what I'll be singing.

I wanna stay at home for the end of the world,
Falling asleep when they're dropping the bomb.
This is all a dream,
That's what I'll be singing.

Pack all your bags and lock all your doors behind,
Clear out the cities and pray for your little lives.
You've all escaped, I've stayed.
I'm so tired of running away.

I wanna stay at home for the end of the world,
Falling asleep when they're dropping the bomb.
This is all a dream,
That's what I'll be singing.

I wanna stay at home for the end of the world,
Falling asleep when they're dropping the bomb.
This is all a dream,
That's what I'll be singing.

Everything around you is gonna turn into
The biggest pile of ashes
That you could ever imagine.

Everything around you is gonna turn into
The biggest pile of nothingness.
So keep on running, keep on running.

I wanna stay at home for the end of the world,
Falling asleep when they're dropping the bomb
This is all a dream,
That's what I'll be singing.

I wanna stay at home,
I wanna stay at home,
I wanna stay at home,
I wanna stay at home.

This is all a dream,
That's what I'll be singing.
This is all a dream,
That's what I'll be singing.

Stars In Your Eyes Lyrics – armor for sleep

Na, na na na, na na na,
Na, na na na, na na na.
I was swimming slowly through the pools in my head,
When I felt a cold hand wrap around my throat
and pull me out of my little day dream.
I was sailing backwards through the wind in my head
when I saw the lights turn on and you were dragging me out
again in my little day dream.

The stars in your eyes they are burning you alive.
I was better off all alone in my own world.
I’m not gonna fall for something I made up.
I was better off all alone in my own world.

Na, na na na, na na na,
Na, na na na, na na na.

I was chasing comets with a butterfly net,
Thinking I could pull one down again
but I was just slipping into my little day dream.
California plastic melted your heart away,
And I’m never gonna go back again
cause I was just perfect here in my little day dream.

The stars in your eyes they are burning you alive.
I was better off all alone in my own world.
I’m not gonna fall for something I made up.
I was better off all alone in my own world.

I was better off left alone.
I was better off left alone.
Stars in your eyes…they drag me away this time.

I get so bored, everything is working out just fine,
that I have to get tangled in something.
I get so bored, everything is working out just fine,
I have to get tangled in something, tangled in something.
I can’t help myself.

The stars in you eyes they are… burning you alive.
I was better off all alone in my own world.
I’m not gonna fall for something I made up.
I was better off all alone in my own world.

Na, na na na, na na na. (I was better off left alone) [x4]

Lullaby Lyrics – armor for sleep

Didn’t they teach you?
Everything’s okay if you settle enough?
Forget your dreams
Let’s pretend I’m everything you want me to be

Complicated breathing
You never had the guts just to throw me away
Life moves slow
When everything’s a worse version of what you need

And I’m just the ground
That you happened to fall on
When you lost your balance walking around in the rain
And you got to your feet
Scratched your head and started to gather
The life that you dropped all around me

I can’t fight for a graveyard anymore

Some people have their money
To keep their legs pumping away at the ground
What moves me is fear
That I'll always be alone at the end of the day (at the end of the day)

And I’m just the ground
That you happened to fall on
When you lost your balance walking around in the rain
And you got to your feet
Scratched your head and started to gather
The life that you dropped all around me

I can’t fight for a graveyard
I can’t fight for a graveyard anymore

I’m just the ground
That you happened to fall on
I’m just the ground
I’m just the ground
I’m just the ground

And I’m just the ground
That you happened to fall on
When you lost your balance walking around in the rain
And you got to your feet
Scratched your head and started to gather
The life that you dropped all around me

I’m just the ground
I’m just the ground
I’m just the ground
I’m just the ground

I can’t fight for a graveyard anymore

Chemicals Lyrics – armor for sleep

The lights in your room keep on blinking off.
And I’m on my back, on your floor.
Tell me how you fooled the world again,
I like how you laugh when you tell it.

Play dead, cause I’ll be playing dead with you.
I’ll play you when you’re dead in a year or two.

Can you please point me to your chemicals?
I need to feel like I’ve got rocks in my eyelids.
The only superhero I’ve ever known was you, about 5 years ago.
It was you about 5 years ago.

The lights outside turn into knives on me and I forget how to get home.
It only feels like it’s the summer now,
cause everyone’s always wearing the wrong clothes.

Play dead, cause I’ll be playing dead with you.
I’ll play you when you’re dead in a year or two.

Can you please point me to your chemicals?
I need to feel like I’ve got rocks in my eyelids.
The only superhero I’ve ever known was you, about 5 years ago.
It was you about 5 years ago.

I can picture your coffin in the hallway;
And your family standing inside the doorway.
They’ll point all their fingers at me and say,

‘Where are your drugs? Today we need them.
Where are your drugs? We need an escape.’
[x2]

Can you please point me to your chemicals?
I need to feel like I’ve got rocks in my eyelids.
The only superhero I’ve ever known was you,
about 5 years ago, was you about 5 years ago.

Where are your drugs? Today we need them.
Where are your drugs? We need your escape.
Where are your drugs? Today we need them.
Where are your drugs? We need your escape.
Where are your drugs? Today we need them
Where are your drugs?

My Saving Grace Lyrics – armor for sleep

Am I a toy to you?
With strings around my fingers,
for you to pull and watch as I collapsed when you want.
The coldest night to me, is a switch that you control.
Tip-toe around your words just to calm you down again.

There’s too many people that we both love
and too many secrets I don’t wanna know.

You’re still chasing him.
My saving grace is saving face.
Lost on the back burner.
Good for, good for you.
My saving grace is saving face.
I just sit and wait.

There’s always just enough of you to pull me back.
But I can see your eyes drifting past what you have.
I’m flagging down a ship when it’s on its way to sea.
The horn is blaring out, but I just don’t want to believe.

I never left you in a sandstorm.
I never left you for a second at all.

You’re still chasing him.
My saving grace is saving face.
Lost on the back burner.
Good for, good for you.
My saving grace is saving face.
I just sit and wait.

I thought you were an angel, I guess you were a vulture.
Either way, spread your wings and just fly away. [x2]

You’re still chasing him.
My saving grace is saving face.
Lost on the back burner.
Good for, good for you.
My saving grace is saving face.
I just sit and wait.

I just sit and wait. (Spread your wings and fly away) [x4]

Stand In The Spotlight Lyrics – armor for sleep

They can’t see your heart.
They don’t care to see who you are.
They’re just a pack of wolves.
Don’t let them break you down, don’t let them break you down.

You are the starlight that sparks up the whole night.
Just let their voices fade out and stand in the spotlight.
Take a bow.

Everybody’s lost.
Most people think they’re not..
But I’m not losing you now.
I don’t think I can at all.
Don’t let them break you down.

You are the starlight that sparks up the whole night.
Just let their voices fade out and stand in the spotlight.
And take a bow.

Please don’t run away from me.
I don’t wanna find you lost in their lies.
Please don’t make a fool of me. (a fool of me now)
Cause I don’t wanna find you lost and alone.

One day they’ll see.
One day they’ll all see.
One day they’ll be shouting the truth.
One day they’ll all be cheering for you,
they’ll all be cheering for you,
they’ll all be cheering for you,
they’ll all be cheering for you.

You are the starlight that sparks up the whole night.
Just let their voices fade out and stand in the spotlight.
Take a bow.
