Armor For Sleep

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

You figured me out
Like a leaf in the wind
I try to find who I am
But wind up lost in the end
Sometimes its 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 hole 6 feet underground
Sometimes its 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

Nothings here for me
Nothings here for me
Nothings 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!

I'll be by the front door...
we'll leave when you want to...
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're laughing the way...
you do when I'm not there...
and you know me...
I'll wait around...
I'm standin 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...
my face...
has barely any feeling left anymore...
I'm shivering hard now

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
(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
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
(I'll disappear)

We're not here

I'll disappear
(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 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 disappear
(We're not here)

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

You appear like raindrops,
And leave like you see-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 see-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.

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

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,
Diners turn into spaceports,
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,
Diners turn into spaceports,
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.

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
Believe your dreams of me sinking
So far below

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 youI'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 burn in you again.
This one's not your fault.
Please forgive me.

Leave it up to me
To burning you again
This one's not your fault
Please forgive me
Leave it up to me
To burning you again
This one's not your fault
So forget, so forget, so forget me

And don't think back, don't think back on me at all
Just let me go
Don't think back, don't think back on me at all
Just let me go
Don't think back, don't think back on me at all
(Let me go)
Don't think back, don't think back on me at all
(Let me go)
Don't think back, don't think back on me at all

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

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

Walked 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 out 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 with out 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 out 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 out 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)

I came out 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)

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

Streetlights 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 and,
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 and,
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 back seat.

This is the end,
Of keeping it in,
They'll all know how I feel.

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 put you far away from me
All I do is put 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 put you far away from me
All I do is put 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 put you far away from me
All I do is put 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 put you far away from me
All I do is put 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 to give up of holding on to you
You're so far, so far away

I wanna live again
I wanna live again
I wanna live again
I wanna start everything over again
I wanna live again
I wanna live again
I wanna live again
I wanna start everything over again

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

I started looking out for myself today
But then I stopped cause I don't care
I'm feeling bored of feeling dull
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 dull
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 can't say no

Holding your head up
Is hard when you just want
To stay on the ground
To stay on the ground

Holding your head up
Is hard when you just want
To stay on the ground
To stay on the ground

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 sold my soul for the dream you stole

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 can't say no

Holding your head up
Is hard when you just want
To stay on the ground
To stay on the ground

Holding your head up
Is hard when you just want
To stay on the ground
To stay on the ground

Of my 50 years left I'm just waiting around
Put your heart on your sleave I won't speak pull it down
Of my 50 years left I'm just waiting around
Put your heart on your sleave I won't speak pull it down

Holding your head up
Is hard when you just want
To stay on the ground
To stay on the ground

Holding your head up
Is hard when you just want
To stay on the ground
To stay on the ground

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 you house far, far below
So I'll fly down and 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?

You see me, Do I look okay to you?
Give me your hand,
I'll shake it and shake it again
I'll smile till 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 in to 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
And 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 in to 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
And I don't care about anything else

Its raining outside
There's a storm front on my back
Trying to keep, trying to keep me away from you
A stranger is up ahead holding up a knife
Trying to keep, trying to keep me away from you
Its raining outside
There's a storm front on my back
Trying to keep, trying to keep me away from you
The stars are falling now
Breaking up the road
Trying to keep, trying to keep me away from you
I'll scream till I bleed.
I'll scream stay away from me
You can't keep me back, keep me back
I'll scream till I bleed.
I'll scream stay away from me
You can't 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
And I don't care about anything else
I just need to see you now
I don't care about anything else

Now I'm in your basement
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

Relax your eyes
And I'm lost again
Relax your eyes
And I'm lost again
Relax your eyes
And I'm lost again
Relax your eyes
And I'm lost again
Relax your eyes
And I'm lost again
Relax your eyes
And I'm lost again

Close your eyes

Holding my breath walking alone 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

Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone
I can't stand the way the world feels
When I'm walking alone

Can you please keep talking to me now?
Tell me all about your new friends
And don't think I can't hear you now
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

Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone
I can't stand the way the world feels
When I'm walking alone

The world seems like a miss
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

The world seems like a miss
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

Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone
I can't stand the way the world feels
When I'm walking alone

Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone
I can't stand the way the world feels
When I'm walking alone

The world seems like a miss
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

Now I'm hiding behind your staircase
Waiting to tell you something
You will never believe
I've got a lot to tell you about me
If won't go over well
Well I don't care

You can't turn off
That you're dead
You just deal with it

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

I see the time line of you whole life
Well I admit that I'm not more
Than a scratch I left behind
But there's the point you can't slim away from
I know you feel
It 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
Well I got this feeling
That I was put here for you
I've got a secret
You won't believe it
Well I got this feeling
That I was put here for you

The ghost of what I left behind is
Tracking 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
Well I got this feeling
That I was put here for you
I've got a secret
You won't believe it
Well I got this feeling
That I was put here for you

Thought I was dreaming
(i was put here for you)
My heart stopped beating
Well I got this feeling
(i was put here just for you)
I've got a secret
(i was put here for you)
You won't believe it
Well I got this feeling
(i was put here just for you)
Just for you

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

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

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?
