Boogie Man Lyrics

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 t 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 hymn
When it's played
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 to compensate for the pain
When it hits
When it speaks
Lick the blood right off of its teeth
You'll grip those sheets in attempts to hide
And figure out that you've been running from the feeling of never leaving alive
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e71687-grieves~boogie_man_lyrics.html ]
So hide!
And sleep with the lights on
You feel that you can be at peace with the lights on here
So cover up your face
And fight away that taste
That made you want to run and hide
Hide hide hide hide
Sleep with the lights on
You stand up on your tiny feet when the night 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 the bed we called 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 it
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

So hide!
And sleep with the lights on
You feel that you can be at peace with the lights on here
So cover up your face
And fight away that taste
That made you want to run and hide
Hide hide hide hide
Sleep with the lights on
You stand up on your tiny feet when the night gone here
