Grieves - 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 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 it's 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 hit's, when it speaks
Lick the blood right off of it's 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 over 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 you ran
But only if it hit's, 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'll 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
