This Abyss Lyrics – armor for sleep

You can try to block out the sun,
chances are it will rise in the morning.
You can hold your breath if you want.
what's meant to be, is meant to be.

And after all this time,
try to deny but it's true.

It will always be you,
there's no one else in the world
who can mess me up like you know you do.
Yeah it will always be you.
I'll take that down to the grave.

I never signed up for this abyss,
thought I'd live on the back of a lie.
Always had my hand on the bright side.
What's meant to be, is it meant to be anymore.

And after all this time,
try to deny but it's true.

It will always be you,
there's no one else in the world
who can mess me up like you know you do.
Yeah it will always be you.
I'll take that down to the grave.

And I'll take that down to the grave.
And I'll take that down to the grave.
And I'll take that down to the grave.

It will always be you,
there's no one else in the world
who can mess me up like you know you do.
Yeah it will always be you.
I'll take that down to the grave.

there's no one else in the world
who can mess me up
And it will always be you.
Yeah it will always be you.
I'll take that down to the grave.

I'll take that down to the grave.
I'll take that down to the grave.

Vanished Lyrics – armor for sleep

Kids at play underneath the light of day.
Theres something in the way that you look,
They're never going to expect whats in store for them.
And I recall, you were just a new born soul,
Tanning in the open sky.
How could I ever expect what you did to me.

I've watched you change from spring to winter.
Watched the sun drown out of the sky like it never was there.

Now that you vanished,
Now that you vanished.
I see you the best.
What is that supposed to mean?
Now that you vanished,
Now that you vanished.
I see you the best,
What is that supposed to mean?

Kids at play soaking up the light of day.
Grab your toys and run away,
It's never gonna be what you dreamed about.

I've watched you change from spring to winter.
Watched the sun drown out of the sky like it never was there.

Now that you vanished,
Now that you vanished.
I see you the best.
What is that supposed to mean?
Now that you vanished,
Now that you vanished.
I see you the best,
What is that supposed to mean?

Now that you vanished,
Now that you vanished.
I see you the best.
What is that supposed to mean?
Now that you vanished,
Now that you vanished.
I see you the best,
What is that supposed to mean?

We'll Own The World Lyrics – armor for sleep

They hold the flame to you,
crushing you apart into.
A million shades of blue,
and you just let them.

Don't look now,
they're making their rounds again.
You have to run when they're gone.
Can you make it all the way home?

We'll own the world one day.
It's only gonna be a little bit longer.
We're gold in every way.
You were meant to hear the sound,
of everything falling into place for us.
Me and you are gonna be the last ones standing.
We'll own the world one day.
And it's time to stop complaining now.

You shine the light on me,
questioning the words I weave.
My eyes are tired and weak,
but I just sit there.

Can't look now,
but I can see the door behind our backs.
If I can stand up.
I can make it all the way home.

We'll own the world one day.
It's only gonna be a little bit longer.
We're gold in every way.
You were meant to hear the sound,
of everything falling into place for us.
Me and you are gonna be the last ones standing.
We'll own the world one day.
And it's time to stop complaining now.

You sing along with me,
I'm a human being.
Not for sale, I'm not for sale.
Nobody can purchase me.
Now sing along with me,
I'm a human being.
I'm not for sale, I'm not for sale.
Nobody can purchase me.

We'll own the world one day.
We're gold in every way.
We'll own the world one day.
It's only gonna be a little bit longer.
We're gold in every way.
You were meant to hear the sound,
of everything falling into place for us.
Me and you are gonna be the last ones standing.
We'll own the world one day.
And its time to stop complaining now.

Know What You Have Lyrics – armor for sleep

You know,
I'll always come back.
An army of them,
Can't stop what we have.
Their footsteps move,
are creeping up so fast.

Let's sneak out the back door,
and ditch them finally.
Let's sneak out the back door,
and ditch them finally.

I love the sound,
when no ones around.
And I can hang out with you.
I'll let them all,
see what they want.
But no one can take me away from you.

Go where there arms cant reach for this.
I'll take you along,
we can be alone at last.

Let's sneak out the back door,
and ditch them finally.

I love the sound, [x2]
when no ones around.
And I can hang out with you.
I'll let them all,
see what they want.
But no one can take me away from you.

Won't let them wage war [x2]
Won't let them wage war on what we found. [x4]

I love the sound,
when no ones around.
And I can hang out with you.
I'll let them all,
see what they want.
But no one can take me away from you.

The Way Out Is Broken Lyrics – armor for sleep

Holding on tightly never worked for me
Show me where the door is cause I'm failing to see
Take your feet out watching you bleed out
I'm the worst at knowing when my curtains been called

On my way out of the dreams I've made
I'm on my way, I'm seeing I was always destined to be

Predictable and alone
Predictable and alone for the long run
You should be thankful that I'm getting on a train
that's heading straight out of your life again

Maybe I'm the champion of being alone

Saving your last glance, burning our last chance
Nothing's gonna stop what was always meant to be

On my way out of the dreams I've made
I'm on my way, I'm seeing I was always destined to be

Predictable and alone
Predictable and alone for the long run
You should be thankful that I'm getting on a train
that's heading straight out of your life again

You can't stop the earth
from spinning under your toes
You can't soak up the sea, just like
you can't stop what you are destined to be

Predictable and alone (for the long run)
Predictable and alone for the long run
You should be thankful that I'm getting on a train
that's heading straight out of your life again
Predictable and alone
Predictable and alone for the long run
You should be thankful that I'm getting on a train
that's heading straight out of your life again
You should be thankful that I'm getting on a train
that's heading straight out of your life again

"Smile For Them" (2007)




Smile For The Camera Lyrics – armor for sleep

What if you find out
Everyone that's in your life
Is only being paid off
By a T.V. studio
And every conversation
Everyone's had with you
Was scripted by the writers
Living in Los Angeles

Smile for the camera

Put on a show for the viewers back home
Hide the truth so they'll never know
You hate what you got
Can't you love what you got?
So smile for the cameras that keep rolling

What if you find out
Everything that's in your life
Was only put in front of you
By people waiting for you to fall
And every time you trip up
It's all just a game
Nothing's really mattered
Nothing was as bad as you thought it was

Smile for the camera

Put on a show for the viewers back home
Hide the truth so they'll never know
You hate what you got
Can't you love what you got?
So smile for the cameras that keep rolling

The banquet the reception, it was all for you
Affectionate obsession from the masses grew
But little do they all know
You're just scared
You're just scared of when they'll write you off your own show

Put on a show for the viewers back home
Hide the truth so they'll never know
You hate what you got
Can't you love what you got?
So smile for the cameras that keep rolling

Love what you got, can't you love what you got?

Williamsburg Lyrics – armor for sleep

Hold your own jacket please
I'm not in the mood
Millions of trains under the ground
This city was the blueprint for hell

Passed out, sleeping at your party
Dream of leaving in the morning
You will all die in Williamsburg
Too hip to even clean your nose out
Your grave is pulling at your pants now
You will all die in Williamsburg

Bored again
Watching the rats
Eat all your food
At least you'll be used to
The place you'll be soon
This city was the blueprint for hell

Passed out, sleeping at your party
Dream of leaving in the morning
You will all die in Williamsburg
Too hip to even clean your nose out
Your grave is pulling at your pants now
You will all die in Williamsburg

Do you know how obvious you are?
You were born in New Hampshire but you say you're from the O.C.
Brooklyn's a death bed
For clones of the same kid
Stuck in the party
That was lame to begin with
Yeah, yeah lame to begin with

At least you'll be used to
The place you'll be
This city was the blueprint for hell

Passed out, sleeping at your party
Dream of leaving in the morning
You will all die in Williamsburg
Too hip to even clean your nose out
Your grave is pulling at your pants now
You will all die in Williamsburg

You will all die

Somebody Else's Arms Lyrics – armor for sleep

Saw you laughing aloud to your friends when I was across the room,
I was across the room.
I'm sick of standing alone when you’re here.
Who’s good enough for you?
Who’s good enough for you?

Well it’s only love it’s not real anyways.
It’s only love, it’s not real.
You’re gonna die in somebody else’s arms
And I have to live with that.
You’re gonna die in somebody else’s arms
And I have to live with that.
Well I hope you have a good life, hope you have a good life.
Well I hope you have a good life, hope you have a good life.

And I’ll say "Send me a card when you get to where you think you should be."
Are you where you think you should be?
Too bad, you’re missing the boat and I’m gone.
Call me when you come around.
Will you call me when you come around?

Well it’s only love it’s not real anyways.
It’s only love, it’s not real.
You’re gonna die in somebody else’s arms,
And I have to live with that.
You’re gonna die in somebody else’s arms,
And I have to live with that.
Well I hope you have a good life, hope you have a good life.
Well I hope you have a good life, hope you have a good life.

I’ll be happy to see you happy, if it’s with me or without me around.
I’ll be happy to see you happy, if it’s with me or without me around.

There’s too much, too much I know I’ll never say.
Please take me back, please take me back.

But you’re gonna die in somebody else’s arms,
And I have to live with that.
You’re gonna die in somebody else’s arms,
And I have to live with that. (I have to live)
Well I hope you have a good life, hope you have a good life. [x4]

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.

One Last Regret Lyrics – armor for sleep

I've let you down
Dragged you around
Wasted my money on messing my head up

I've watched you try
To figure me out
Take me back 'cause you're lonely

Save me
Even though we both know that you can't
Won't you save me
I'm gonna die tonight
I swear to god I'm gonna die

Can you save me?
Even though we both know that you can't
Won't you save me
I'm gonna die tonight
I swear to god I'm gonna die

Car Underwater Lyrics – armor for sleep

Believe the news, I'm gone for good.
Call off the search, no one will know that I'm down here
Believe the note I left for you
You can't turn back the clocks, you can't pull me up from here, so don't try

I'm in a car underwater with time to kill, thinking back I forgot to tell you this
I didn't care that you left and abandoned me, what hurts more is I would still die for you.

I'm in a car underwater with time to kill, thinking back I forgot to tell you this
I didn't care that you left and abandoned me, what hurts more is I would still die for you.

Make time slower, give me longer.
It's too late for me, no one will know that I'm down here.
And believe your dreams of me sinking
so far, below, you can't pull me up from here so don't try.

In a car underwater with time to kill, thinking back I forgot to tell you this
I didn't care that you left and abandoned me, what hurts more is I would still die for you.

I'm in a car underwater with time to kill, thinking back I forgot to tell you this
I didn't care that you left and abandoned me, what hurts more is I would still die for you.

Leave it up to me. To burden you again.
This ones not your fault. Please forgive me.

Leave it up to me (leave it up to me). To burden you again (To burden you again).
This ones not your fault. So forget, so forget, so forget me.

Don't think back, don't think back of me at all.
Just let me go.
Don't think back, don't think back of me at all.
Just let me go.
Don't think back, don't think back of me at all.
Don't think back, don't think back of me at all.
Don't think back, don't think back of me at all.

I'm in a car underwater with time to kill, thinking back I forgot to tell you this
I didn't care that you left and abandoned me, what hurts more is I would still die for you.

I'm in a car underwater with time to kill, thinking back I forgot to tell you this
I didn't care that you left and abandoned me, what hurts more is I would still die for you.

and I would still die for you
I would still die for you
and I would still die for you
I would still die for you
and I would still die for you...

The Truth About Heaven Lyrics – armor for sleep

Walk past my grave in the dark tonight,
Saw the stone and the note you left for me,
to answer your question I just had to leave,
I just had to leave,

But that's not why I'm here,
I came down here to tell you it rains in heaven all day long,
I wanna find you so bad and let you know
I'm miserable up here without you, miserable up here without you

Found my way back in the dark tonight,
Couldn't wake up not right next to you,
I'd trade in forever to just hear you say the sound of my name,

But that's not why I'm here,
I came down here to tell you it rains in heaven all day long,
I wanna find you so bad and let you know
I'm miserable up here without you, miserable up here without you

Don't believe that it's better when you leave everything behind,
Don't believe that the weather is perfect the day that you die,
Don't believe that the weather is perfect the day that you die

I came down here to tell you it rains in heaven all day long (all day long),
I wanna find you so bad and let you know
I'm miserable up here without you, miserable up here without you
[x2]

Don't believe that the weather is perfect the day that you die

Remember To Feel Real Lyrics – armor for sleep

So here's the truth
you were right all along
they were never my friends
and I was living a lie
but I won't fall for it next time

You figured me out
I'm like a leaf in the wind
I try to find who I am
but wind up lost in the end
sometimes it's hard to know what's real when your not

'Cause you know I change myself
to impress whoever happens to be next to me
but I'm sick of trying so hard
waste all your time with me
I know I'm a mess right now
don't give up believe
I'd wait it out for you
waste all your time with me
I know I'm a mess right now
don't give up believe
I'd wait it out for you

Everyday I'm just making my rounds
just digging a home six feet underground
sometimes it's hard to know what's real when you're not

'Cause you know I change myself
to impress whoever happens to be next to me
but I'm sick of trying so hard
waste all your time with me
I know I'm a mess right now
don't give up believe
I'd wait it out for you
waste all your time with me
I know I'm a mess right now
don't give up believe
I'd wait it out for you

Nothing's here for me
Nothing's here for me
But you
Nothing's here for me
But you

Waste all your time with me
I know I'm a mess right now
don't give up believe
I'd wait it out for you
waste all your time with me
I know I'm a mess right now
don't give up believe
I'd wait it out for you

I'd wait it out for you!
I'd wait it out for you!

Awkward Last Words Lyrics – armor for sleep

I wanna live again
I wanna start everything over again
I wanna get this right
I'll meet you in another life
Over again
I'm coming back around again
Coming back over again
I'm coming back around again,
but now it's over

We're out of time and I can't breathe
I told you not to believe in me
'Cause all I do is push you far away from me
All I do is push you far away from me
Out of time and I can't breathe
I told you not to believe in me
'Cause all I do is push you far away from me
All I do is push you far away from me

I'm gonna make this work
I'm gonna change everything wrong with me
I'm gonna prove you wrong
when I meet you in another life
Over again
I'm coming back around again
Coming back over again
I'm coming back around again,
but now it's over

We're out of time and I can't breathe
I told you not to believe in me
'Cause all I do is push you far away from me
All I do is push you far away from me
Out of time and I can't breathe
I told you not to believe in me
'Cause all I do is push you far away from me
All I do is push you far away from me

I never had the gift of holding on to you
You're so far, so far away
No I, never had the gift of holding on to you, now
You're so far, so far away

I wanna live again [x3]
I wanna start everything over again
I wanna live again [x3]
I wanna start everything over again

We're out of time and I can't breathe [x4]

We're out of time and I can't breathe
I told you not to believe in me
'Cause all I do is push you far away from me
All I do is push you far away from me

Stay On The Ground Lyrics – armor for sleep

I started looking out for myself today
but then I stopped cause I don't care
I'm feeling bored of feeling numb
so now I'll stop cause I don't care

I started looking out for myself today
but then I stopped cause I don't care
I'm feeling bored of feeling numb
so now I'll stop cause I don't care

so get it get it get it right
I'm not holding on to a thing here
get it get it get it right
I'm not holding on and I can say now

holding your head up
is hard when you just want
to stay on the ground

[x2]

I started feeling bad for myself today
but then I stopped cause I don't care
I'm dreaming less and sleeping more
but I'll sell my soul for the dream you stole

so get it get it get it right
I'm not holding on to a thing here

About fifty years left of just waiting around
put your heart on your sleeve and watch me pull it down
About fifty years left of just waiting around
put your heart on your sleeve and watch me pull it down

holding your head up
is hard when you just want
to stay on the ground
to stay on the ground
[x3]

A Quick Little Flight Lyrics – armor for sleep

Now I'm just spacing out again
If I try hard enough I'll pretend
that I'm flying above some trees
and they're smiling and waving at me

With the clouds on my back I can see
all the people down there fast asleep
Now I see your house far, far below
so I'll fly down to give you a show

Can you see me through your bedroom window?
Are you waking up your friends to watch with you?
Can you see me at all?
Can you see me at all?
Can you see me through your bedroom window?
Are you waking up your friends to watch with you?
Can you see me at all?
Can you see me at all?

The More You Talk The Less I Hear Lyrics – armor for sleep

You've seen me, do I look okay to you?
Give me your hand
I'll shake it and shake it again
I'll smile until my face falls off my head
If it's good for you, it's good for me too

What did I say?
Why do you give a shit?
They're trying to pry into my brain
But I'm gone
I'm running down highways
Till I see your face
I just need to see you now
I just need to see you now
I don't care about anything else
I don't care about anything else

Their words are flying over my head
I try and hear, but I'm somewhere else again
You laugh and I smile back to humor you
If it's good for you, it's good for me too

What did I say?
Why do you give a shit?
They're trying to pry into my brain
But I'm gone
I'm running down highways
Till I see your face
I just need to see you now
I just need to see you now
I don't care about anything else

It's raining outside
There's a storm front on my back
Trying to keep, trying to keep me away from you
A stranger's up ahead, holding up a knife
Trying to keep, trying to keep me away from you
It's raining outside
There's a storm front on my back
Trying to keep, trying to keep me away from you
The stars are falling down
Breaking up the road
Trying to keep, trying to keep me away from you

I'll scream till I bleed
I scream stay away from me
They can't keep me back
Keep me back
Well I'll scream till I bleed
I scream stay away from me
They cant keep me back
Keep me back

What did I say?
Why do you give a shit?
I just need to see you now
I just need to see you now
I just need to see you now
I don't care about anything else
I just need to see you now
I don't care about anything else

Basement Ghost Singing Lyrics – armor for sleep

Now I'm in your basement
I'm laying low to keep out of your way
I hear your footsteps
Move the floorboards above my head
I have my own routine now
I'm keeping busy in my own way
I'm learning ways to not feel
Like I'm down here forever

I hear your footsteps
Move the floorboards above my head
I hope you know that I'm down here
Just for you

I sang a song to you through the floor
To reach you upstairs
I thought I heard you call out for more
I know that's crazy
I'm pretty sure that I'm lost again
It won't get through to you
I won't get through
I think I won't get through

I'm gonna close my mouth now
You don't need more noise in your life
I miss you more than you know
But I know time makes you move on

I hear your footsteps
Move the floorboards above my head
I hope you know that I'm down here
Just for you

I sang a song to you through the floor
To reach you upstairs
I thought I heard you call out for more
I know that's crazy
I'm pretty sure that I'm lost again
It won't get through to you
I won't get through
I think I won't get through

The lights are off
And I'm lost again
[x6]
The Lights are off

Walking At Night, Alone Lyrics – armor for sleep

holding my breath walking at night with you
i get to hear your voice again
if this is a dream, maybe you'll stay with me
stay with me, please stay with me

this is where we met
we're back here again

don't leave me alone
don't leave me alone
i can't stand the way the world feels
when i'm walking alone
[x2]

can you please keep talking to me now
tell me all about your new friends
i know you don't think i can hear you now
but i'm listening, i'm listening

and this is where we met
we're back here again
(back here back here again)

don't leave me alone
don't leave me alone
i can't stand the way the world feels
when i'm walking alone
[x2]

love seems like a mess
when it won't let go of me
but when it's gone i don't feel
when it's gone i don't feel alive
[x2]

don't leave me alone
don't leave me alone
i can't stand the way the world feels
when i'm walking alone
[x2]

love seems like a mess
when it won't let go of me
but when it's gone i don't feel
when it's gone i don't feel alive
when it's gone i don't feel alive

I Have Been Right All Along Lyrics – armor for sleep

Now I’m hiding behind your stair case
Waiting to tell you something you’ll never believe
I've got a lot to tell you about me
That won't go over well...well I don't care

You can’t turn off, that you’re dead
You just deal with it (deal with it)
Thought I was dreaming
My heart stopped beating
But I’ve got this feeling
That I was put here for you
I’ve got a secret
But you won’t believe it
But I’ve got this feeling
That I was put here for you

I see the timeline of your whole life
I admit that I'm not more than the scratch I left behind
But there’s no point you can’t swim away from
that I know you feel. That won't let you go

You can’t turn off, that you’re dead
You just deal with it (deal with it)
Thought I was dreaming
My heart stopped beating
But I’ve got this feeling
That I was put here for you
I’ve got a secret
But you won’t believe it
But I’ve got this feeling
That I was put here for you

The ghost of what I left behind
Is dragging me right back next to you

Believe me
It’s the truth I swear
Believe me
It’s the truth I swear
Deal with it

Thought I was dreaming
My heart stopped beating
But I’ve got this feeling
That I was put here for you
I’ve got a secret
But you won’t believe it
But I’ve got this feeling
That I was put here for you

The End Of A Fraud Lyrics – armor for sleep

I'm leaving again
For the second time around
You better believe
That this was all just a joke to me

And as I look down on them
I repeat these words in my head
"They never heard one sound out of my mouth
They never heard one sound"

I saw pretty clear
That when I left you all stayed the same
Now I think I believe
That I was never alive in the first place

They never heard one sound out of my mouth
They never heard one sound out of my mouth
They never heard one sound out of my mouth
They never heard one sound

Don't believe that the weather is perfect the day that you die
[x6]

Very Invisible Lyrics – armor for sleep

Remember two years ago
when you broke down and cried to me
about how you couldn't be alone
how you needed me next to you

you made me promise on your tears
to never let you be without my voice inside your ears
well I found my way back
you'll never be alone again
isn't that what you want
no you'll never be alone again
I am right here with you

I know you feel me next to you
you cant shake me off, you cant shake me off, this time around
your trying hard to kill the truth
so stop playing around, stop playing around, you know your not alone

Remember when I was here
I tried to be as thick as the world
you called me out just to see
if I could be real enough
to never take your heart from you
and leave it all alone
I came back down to stay with you
even if you don't know

I know you feel me next to you
you cant shake me off, you cant shake me off, this time around
your trying hard to kill the truth
so stop playing around, stop playing around, you know your not alone

I tried my heart doesn't beat
there's no ground under my feet
I am floating over your bed now
I'll be the voice in the dark
the freezing cold in your heart
that you thought died away with me
but I'll be right next to you
you'll never be alone again
cause I'll be right next to you
you'll never be alone again

no you'll never be alone again
I am right here with you

I know you feel me next to you (so stop playing dumb)
you cant shake me off, you cant shake me off, this time around
your trying hard to kill the truth (I am right here with you)
so stop playing around, stop playing around, you know your not alone

I know you feel me next to you

"Dream To Make Believe" (2003)




Dream To Make Believe Lyrics – armor for sleep

It's funny how
things work out,
the ones we need
don't know we're there
If I were sand
and you were oceans,
the moon would be
why you're pulled to me

I wake up and think dreams are real
I sleep so I don't have to feel
the truth that you can't ever be
the one person that won't ever forget me

I hope that dreams
come when I die
so we can talk
I won't wake up
I'll ask you how
your life worked out
I'll never know
that I'm just dreaming

I wake up and think dreams are real
I sleep so I don't have to feel
the truth that you can't ever be
the one person that won't ever forget me

Let me sleep some more
Let me sleep some more
Let me sleep some more
Let me sleep some more
Let me sleep some more
Let me sleep some more
Let me sleep some more
Let me sleep some more

All Warm Lyrics – armor for sleep

I'll find a cave for you
For you to run to
Nothing can break through stone
You'll sleep through winter
You'll never feel the cold
The years will be all warm
You'll bury yourself
When you've had enough
and the world will think
that you've just run off
but I'll always know
how you chose to go
inside your stone world
Where winter is broken

If I could build for you
a magic retreat from
seasons that break your bones
Trust me I'd live to
you'll never feel the cold
the years will be all warm

trust me I
would build for you
a world for you
trust me I
would build for you
a world for you
You'll never feel the cold
The years will be all warm

You'll bury yourself
When you've had enough
and the world will think
that you've just run off
but I'll always know
how you chose to go
inside your stone world
Where winter is broken

Being Your Walls Lyrics – armor for sleep

Pull your arms up around your knees
And hide out inside your room
Pretend you can't feel at all

Just realize that I know how you feel now

If all I am is a distraction for you
then I can't complain that you can't feel something for me
Take all you can, find in me

Can you think back to when things worked
When dreams were the days you lived
When you never cried alone

Just realize that I know how you feel now

If all I am is a distraction for you
then I can't complain that you can't feel something for me
Take all you can, find in me

I know how (know how)
You feel now (you feel now)

If all I am is a distraction for you
then I can't complain that you can't feel something for me
Take all you can, find in me

My Town Lyrics – armor for sleep

Street lights look like ribs on my block
I can forget where I am now
Smiling as I pass some parked cars
I can forget where I am at

Run through my town
Scream till I faint
Stumble around
Scare kids away
Worn out I'll be
Asleep on the street
Watch my whole town
Attempt to wake me

Sidewalks lend their backs to my feet
I can forget where I am now
Houses shut their lights as I pass
I can forget where I am at

Run through my town
Scream till I faint
Stumble around
Scare kids away
Worn out I'll be
Asleep on the street
Watch my whole town
Attempt to wake me

This is the end of rotting away
In the backseat
This is the end of keeping it in
They'll all know how I feel

This is the end of rotting away
I know how I feel

Run through my town
Scream till I faint
Stumble around
Scare kids away
Worn out I'll be
Asleep on the street
Watch my whole town
Attempt to wake me

Run through my town
Scream till I faint
Stumble around
Scare kids away
Worn out I'll be
Asleep on the street
Watch my whole town
Attempt to wake me

Wanderer's Guild Lyrics – armor for sleep

I can speak when I want to
employ my voice till it burns
Through the core of my own throat
speak until the demands gone

You should be downstairs with them
You're wasting your time again
Listen I'm fine now [x6]
I don't want to talk right now
Thank you for your concern

I can speak till the world ends
To make up for all that I left out
I'll register with the wanderer's guild
and be a nomad with a billion words

You should be downstairs with them
You're wasting your time again
Listen I'm fine now [x6]
I don't want to talk right now
Thank you for your concern

[whispering]

Air conditioning
you can stay quiet all night
Air conditioning
you can stay quiet all night
Listen I'm fine now [x6]
I don't want to talk right now
Thank you for your concern
Listen I'm fine now [x6]
I don't want to talk right now
Thank you for your concern

Frost And Front Steps Lyrics – armor for sleep

I’ll be by the front door
We’ll leave when you want
You’re having a good time
And you know me
I’ll wait around

I’m standing outside now
No one’s around
It’s so cold
My lips are numb
I’ll sit on the front steps
And wonder if I will completely freeze out here

I hear you from inside
You laughing the way
You do when I’m not there
And you know me
I’ll wait around

I’m standing outside now
No one’s around
It’s so cold
My lips are numb
I’ll sit on the front steps
And wonder if I will completely freeze out here

I think that maybe I should get up and just drive away
I’m shivering hard now, I’m shivering hard now
My face has barely any feeling left anymore
I’m shivering hard now, I’m shivering hard now

I’m standing outside now
No one’s around
It’s so cold
My lips are numb
I’ll sit on the front steps
And wonder if I will completely freeze out here

I’m standing outside now
No one’s around
It’s so cold
My lips are numb
I’ll sit on the front steps
And wonder if I will completely freeze out here

Phantoms Now Lyrics – armor for sleep

Tonight, at twelve, we change, ourselves
forget, this world, we know
transparent we'll be
invisible so they won't see
our hearts beat
we won't hurt a thing
we just want to haunt this house
at least for now

Watch us change
kill the light
Phantoms now
dead tonight

You'll be a ghost
I'll be your dream
you'll float through me
I'll disappear
You'll be a ghost
I'll be your dream
you'll float through me
I'll disappear

We'll stay in this room
sit still and enjoy the calm, we become
we'll fall down the stairs
nothing can support us now
we're not here

Watch us change
kill the light
Phantoms now
dead tonight

You'll be a ghost
I'll be your dream
you'll float through me
I'll disappear
You'll be a ghost
I'll be your dream
you'll float through me
I'll disappear

I'll disappear
We're not here
I'll disappear
You'll be a ghost
I'll be your dream
you'll float through me
I'll disappear
You'll be a ghost
I'll be your dream
you'll float through me
I'll understand

Raindrops Lyrics – armor for sleep

You appear like raindrops
And leave like you sink through
The streets that you fall on
The cars that slip on you
All of this for just one night

Suffocate me, all you need,
I won’t breathe but it’s okay
You’ll be somewhere around me
And I won’t need air

The clouds will break my house
And throw me from my room
I’ll drown in the rainfall
And float till I find you

You appear like raindrops
And leave like you sink through
The streets that you fall on
The cars that slip on you
All of this for just one night

Suffocate me, all you need,
I won’t breathe but it’s okay
You’ll be somewhere around me
And I won’t need air

And I won’t need air
And I won’t need air
And I won’t need air
And I won’t need air

Suffocate me, all you need,
I won’t breathe but its okay
You’ll be somewhere around me
And I won’t need air

Suffocate me, all you need,
I won’t breathe but its okay
You’ll be somewhere around me
And I won’t need air

Kind Of Perfect Lyrics – armor for sleep

Can I just be something,
Somewhere in your room,
That you won't notice.

Maybe I'll be paper,
Or books thrown on your floor,
Move me when you want to.

I'll live where you put me,
In your VCR,
If I become a cassette.

Or on top of your computer,
If that's where I would fit,
Then so be it.

But things can't be perfect,
All the time, that I know.
Sometimes we just have to let some things go.

I will not say one word,
I'll just hang around,
I won't annoy you at all.

When you move out I'll stay,
Until I'm thrown away,
But then it won't matter.

Things can't be perfect,
All the time, that I know.
Sometimes we just have to let some things go.

Because things can't be perfect,
All the time, that I know.
Sometimes we just have to let some things go.

I promise to stop now,
To stop now.
I promise to stop now,
To stop now.

But things can't be perfect,
All the time, that I know.
Sometimes we just have to let some things go.

Things can't be perfect,
All the time, that I know.
Sometimes we just have to let some things go.

Letting go is my life,
I'll be on my way..

Slip Like Space lyrics - armor for sleep

Watch me point to the sky
You'll laugh and say I'll never fly
I'll smile as you walk away
I always knew I couldn't stay

Full throttle now
The milky way can't wait
Full throttle now
The milky way can't wait

Diners turn into space ports
And I rocket past the moon
Say your goodbyes now
I'll be in the wormhole soon

This planet wasn't made for me
All of you live so easy
I lay outside and up I stare
My home is in the void up there

Full throttle now
The milky way can't wait
Full throttle now
The milky way can't wait

Diners turn into space ports
And I rocket past the moon
Say your goodbyes now
I'll be in the wormhole soon

Approach light speed
And break apart
I don't care now
Nothing's real somehow
Approach light speed
And break apart
I don't care now
Nothing's real somehow

Diners turn into space ports
And I rocket past the moon
Say your goodbyes now
I'll be in the wormhole soon
[x2]

Pointless Forever lyrics - armor for sleep

And you can't deny
that I'll be the one mistake
you'll carry forever
and you can't pretend now
that you thought I'd forget
to notice you were gone
but the truth is...
its pointless
I'll make my own world somehow
where I control who stays
you won't leave because you
won't know how to run away
I'll make you care that I am
running here without you
I'll make you care
I'LL MAKE YOU CARE...
and you can't escape that
I'm in your dreams
like you swim in mine
and you'll live your whole life dreaming
your dreams will
be free of me
but the truth is...
its pointless...
I'll make my own world somehow
where I control who stays
you won't leave because you
won't know how to run away
I'll make you care that i am
running here without you
I'll make you care
I'LL MAKE YOU CARE...
And the truth is...
its pointless...
you don't care...
but the truth is...
its pointless...
you don't care...
YOU DON'T CARE (you don't care)
but the truth is its pointless
YOU DON'T CARE (you don't care)
but the truth is its pointless
YOU DON'T CARE (you don't care)
YOU DON'T CARE (you don't care)
you don't care......

Today lyrics - armor for sleep

Originally by Smashing Pumpkins

Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't live for tomorrow,
Tomorrow's much too long
I'll burn my eyes out
Before I get out

I wanted more
Than life could ever grant me
Bored by the chore
Of saving face

Today is the greatest
Day I've never known
Can't wait for tomorrow
I might not have that long
I'll tear my heart out
Before I get out

Pink ribbon scars
That never forget
I tried so hard
To cleanse these regrets
My angel wings
Were bruised and restrained
My belly stings

Today is
Today is
Today is
The greatest day

I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on

Today is the greatest
Today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day
That I have ever really known
