Boogie Man
(专辑: Together / Apart - 2011)
The
night is like a
blanket that's suffocating the
fire With a
bow to the
string and a
note from the
choir I
believe, and that's about as far as it goes When you've been riding on the
wings of a
bloody murder of crows Hold it all out, throw it into the
wind Let it lay down the
line where the
drama begins Because if everything is covered and teetering on a
whim You can harmonize the
sound of its insecurity's hymn When it's played, yeah, stripped down and shaved Shipped off to battle in the
shadow of the
day And if anything is salvaged from the
battered up remains You can sew it to your jacket and compensate for the
pain When it hits, when it speaks Lick the
blood right off of its teeth You'll grip those sheets in attempt to hide And figure out that you've been running from the
feeling of never leaving alive so Hide, sleep with the
lights on You feel like you can be at peace with the
lights on here So cover up your face, and fight away that taste That makes you want to run and hide, hide, hide And sleep with the
lights on You stand up on your tiny feet when the
night's gone here (Night's gone here) When the
night's gone here Swallow that lump inside of your throat Open up the
closet and push aside all the
clothes You believe, and never needed more to be said To leave you scared of that little gap between the
floor and your bed So you jump, leaping over all of your options And retreat right back to that bed we call a
coffin To sleep, never actually getting a
wink Due to all the
little devils that dance around in your dreams And attack you, pull you under the
bed with their hands And take away the
chance of you ever making a
stand And if anything actually ever went as you planned That you could retrace the
steps that you ran But only if it hits, if it speaks You could fight it to the
death in the
streets You'll grip those sheets in attempt to hide And figure out that you've been running from the
feeling of never leaving alive So hide, you'll stay awake So hide, we all know that you will stay awake Hide, sleep with the
lights on You feel like you can be at peace with the
lights on here So cover up your face, and fight away that taste That makes you want to run and hide, hide, hide And sleep with the
lights on You stand up on your tiny feet when the
night's gone here (Night's gone here) When the
night's gone here
