ARMOR FOR THE BROKEN LYRICS

1. Diagram Of A Darkened Heart

We'll dance like the night is endless
(and these days are forever)
Our shadows we've chased to this corner
(have dripped dry tonight)

I don't know how to say this
I think I'm suffocating
I don't know how to say this
I think I'm finally failing

Love is more my job than it is your business
We'll keep this tied up girl
We won't discuss this

Love is more my job than it is your business
We'll keep this tied up girl
We won't discuss this

We'll dance like the night is endless
(and these days are forever)
Our shadows we've chased to this corner
(have dripped dry tonight)

I don't know how to say this
I think I'm suffocating
I don't know how to say this
I think I'm finally failing

This is the diagram
(of a darkened heart)

All I see is white
What is this mess?
Where am I?
what have you done?

All I see is white
What is this mess?
where am I?
what have you done?

2. A Boy Called Never

Take these hands that you call pain
but don't show your teeth
breathe mankind breathe
cover up your eyes so the sun won't burn them up
hit the deck the water is seeping through the floor
I think We've lost our touch
promise me you'll make it out alive
if lying is choking then they've choked us from the start
breathe mankind breathe

3. Bedroom

Let's take this up a notch
real-life miracles
i know it's not the worst day of our lives
am I charming
I really need to know
a gentleman always show up a little late
is this worth it
my conscious is screaming no
it's my choice to decide I just hope its the right one

your subtle story
ends with a dagger in my heart
your pinned up smile never fooled me from the start

your subtle story
ends with a dagger in my heart
your pinned up smile never fooled me from the start

am I charming
I really need to know
a gentleman always show up a little late
is this worth it
my conscious is screaming no
it's my choice to decide I just hope its the right one

this is my finishing speach that finished you

am I charming
I really need to know
a gentleman always show up a little late
is this worth it
my conscious is screaming no
it's my choice to decide I just hope its the right one

4. Augustine

The queen begs
to still be appreciated
while the empire
stabs her in the back
everybody just relax
blood drips off her dress
onto the ballroom floor
where people dance

I spill out upon the floor
as the walls are closing in
Augustine
we're at our necks again
Augustine
we're next again
Augustine... Augustine... Augustine... [X3]

out in the court yard
the dead roses seem to
bleed and whisper [X2]

I spill out upon the floor
as the walls are closing in
Augustine
we're at our necks again
Augustine
we're next again
Augustine... Augustine... Augustine...

5. Autobiography Of A Spotlight

I'll stretch my arms as far as it takes
To take you back
I know you're out there
Waiting for me to disappear
to disintegrate
I take it back to get this through to you
This is my last chance
I know you're out there
wait for me to disappear
to disintegrate
with your guts spilled out
you look more beautiful than I ever expected

6. Maybe The Bitter End Ain't So Bitter

So what are the last words you will say
and will it have any meaning
can I tear you to pieces now
can I strip you of the truth
so what are the last words you will say
did they mean anything at all
so I scratch at the open wounds
I practically tear my skin off
but only to be more open to you
I see your not hiding anymore
from what consumes you

Inspiring Stories Of Hope And Love
what they hid us
from where's her pulse
where's her pulse
all we need is a miracle

so I scratch at the open wounds
I practically tear my skin off
but only to be more open to you
I see your not hiding anymore
from what consumes you

these arms pull her closer
maybe the bitter end
ain't so bitter

so I scratch at the open wounds
I practically tear my skin off
but only to be more open to you
I see your not hiding anymore
from what consumes you

7. Call It A Tragedy (I Call It An Exit)

Wait with me
down by the lake
the water's so beautiful
and so is her face
kill this trend
baby we'll play pretend we're invisible again your word cut like broken glass
the pain it hurts
but it doesn't last
I'll bottle it up
and save it for the next one

Wait with me
down by the lake
the water's so beautiful
and so is her face
kill this trend
baby we'll play pretend we're invisible again

don't worry nothing's safe
just try your hardest not to scream
don't worry nothing's safe
just try your hardest not to scream too loud

Wait with me
down by the lake
the water's so beautiful
and so is her face
kill this trend
baby we'll play pretend we're invisible again [X2]

8. Sometimes I Like To Pretend I'm Johnny Cash

Goodbyes don't last forever
goodnights are so much better
if I can't explain these things to her will you be my words
if I loose my balance can you be my feet
don't let me fall
while the blood rushes to my head

I'm unconscious take my hand
and take me away
now as my body grows weak and cold
white lights up ahead
white lights
its our escape
we're leaving with or without you
if you hold us down
we'll cut the rope

while the blood rushes to my head
I'm unconscious take my hand
and take me away
now as my body grows weak and cold
white lights up ahead
white lights
its our escape

its our escape we're leaving with or without you
its our escape
goodbye

9. Such A Disappointement That All Things Should End...

As the director
castes his crew
I can finally see you here
all lights out
man your stations
the curtains fold
don't forget your lines
I can't breathe with you so close to me
I can't breathe with you so close to me

as we hit the stage lights are dim
the audience mutters
under their breath
all lights out man your stations
the curtains fold
don't forget your lines

man the lights
the cast are in our hands
where's the noose
where's the hangman
the greatest actor of them all
has taken a fall he's taken a...
OH MY GOD!
the show must go on
where's the lovers line of lies

get off the stage
this is an embarrassment to you
and all the good people

10. Texas Emergency Hotline

Pull the covers back over our heads
the sun is shining through
blaring down on you
at this rate we're better off dead
at this rate we're better off dead
take it slow while breathing in
don't gasp they'll probably hear you
the air here is much too thin
run faster they're right behind us
run faster they're right behind us
as we douse our selves
until we light up in fire
I hope it fits your desire
we'll scratch these walls
until they hit the floor
this place looks the same
as when I left it before

we got you down to a basic
we got you down to a basic
pardon me good sir
while I gouge out my eyes
nothing against her
but I can't stand her smile
as the blood drips off my cheek
tell your wife please do not shriek
I'm sorry for the trouble
I won't stay

as we douse our selves
until we light up in fire
I hope it fits your desire
we'll scratch these walls
until they hit the floor
this place looks the same
as when I left it before
