Armor for Sleep lyrics
Album: Dream to Make Believe [2003]
| Dream to Make Believe | |
|
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 never 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 never be
the one person that won't ever forget me
Lemme sleep some more...

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 just did 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 just did go
inside your stone world
Where winter is broken

| Being Your Walls | |
|
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 | |
|
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 fade
Stumble around
Scare kids away
Pouring out of me
Asleep on the street
Watch my whole town
Attempt to wake me
Sidewalks slam 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 fade
Stumble around
Scare kids away
Pouring out of me
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
We all know how I feel
This is the end of rotting away
I know how I feel
Run through my town
Scream till I fade
Stumble around
Scare kids away
Pouring out of me
Asleep on the street
Watch my whole town
Attempt to wake me
Run through my town
Scream till I fade
Stumble around
Scare kids away
Pouring out of me
Asleep on the street
Watch my whole town
Attempt to wake me

i can speak when i want to
and pour my voice til it burns
through the core of my own throat
i'll speak until the demands gone
you should be downstairs with them
youre wasting your time again
listen im fine now
listen im fine now
listen im fine now
i dont want to talk right now
thank you for your concern
i could speak til the world ends
to make up for all that i left out
i'll register with the wanderers guild
and be nomad with a billion words
you should be downstairs with them
youre wasting your time again
listen im fine now
listen im fine now
listen im fine now
i dont 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 im fine now
listen im fine now
listen im fine now
i dont want to talk right now
thank you for you concern
listen im fine now
listen im fine now
listen im fine now
i dont want to talk right now
thank you for your concern

| Frost and Front Steps | |

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 | |

Great song, amazing not very well known band
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 town...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...we'll stay in this room...sit still and enjoy the
calm we've become...we'll fall down the stairs...nothing can support us
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...we're not here...you'll be a ghost...I'll be your dream... you'll float through
me...I'll understand

| Raindrops | |
|
You appear like raindrops
And live 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 live 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 | |

can i just be something
somewhere in your room
but you wont notice
maybe ill be paper
or books thrown on your floor
move me when you want to
ill lay where you put me
in your VCR
if i become a cassete
or on top of your computer
if thats where i would fit
then so be it
but things cant be perfect
all the time
that i know
sometimes we just have to let some things go
i will not say one word
ill just hang around
i wont annoy you at all
when you move out ill stay
until im thrown away
but then it wont matter
thens cant be perfect
all the time
that i know
sometimes we just have to let some things go
because
things cant be perfect
all the time
that i know
sometimes we just have to let somethings go
i promise to stop now
to stop now
i promse to stop now
to stop now
but things cant be perfect
all the time
that i know
sometimes we just have to let some things go
things cant be perfect
all the time
that i know
sometimes we just have to let some things go
letting go is my life
ill be on my way

| Slip Like Space | |

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 have turned
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 have turned
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
nothings real somehow
approach light speed
and break apart
I don't care now
nothings real somehow
time has turned
into space ports
and I rocket past the moon
say your goodbyes now
I'll be in the wormhole soon
diners have turned
into space ports
and I rocket past the moon
say your goodbyes now
I'll be in the wormhole soon
