Throwing Matches Lyrics

My path is not behind me
I cling to the shreds
This home inside of my heart (my heart)
Stay.......

Dream I wake up in your arms and breath you in,
Where are you? Are you still here?
Take comfort in the things I know and breathe them out,
Throw matches at this burning bridge

I am not your hero
I can’t even save myself
I’m trapped inside of my heart (my heart)
Stay......

Dream I wake up in your arms and breath you in,
Where are you? Are you still here?
Take comfort in the things I know and breathe them out,
Throw matches at this burning bridge

My name is where your heart is, where my mind can rest at ease
When I let down my defenses, I hold you so close to me
Almost daily life reminds me of my pain and misery
When I look into the mirror, this is all so clear to see

So I sleep, I sleep to dream, I dream to wake up in your arms
Breathe you in and kiss the lips of angel (of an angel)
So I dream, I dream to find you, asking, “what took you so long?”
I take comfort in the fact that when I dream, that world is gone

To me, this song is about a guy who's like isn't the greatest (My path is not behind me, I cling to the shreds). However, there's a girl who makes him feel like life's worth living, she brings him "to another world." Towards the end of the song, he has a dream about the girl (So I sleep, I sleep to dream, I dream to wake up in your arms, Breathe you in and kiss the lips of angel), but wakes up to find out that his dream is a reality (I take comfort in the fact that when I dream, that world is gone).

Awesome band. If you like Rise Against, I highly suggest listening to these guys.

Interesting song. although Ionian is clearly one of those annoying hipsters who post paragraphs about how the song is about a cheesy relationship. but do check them out if you like Rise Against or Ignite.

Haha :D well said tjtech12! I really hate those people too.

This song is alright. I love Rise Against, but not Ignite so much. I tried to like them, but their music is kinda boring to me and that guy's voice is just so annoying. In this song it's okay though, 'cause also Tim is singing and I LOVE TIM'S VOICE!

you're right, the acoustic version is awesome... doesn't matter what chasse takes on or off, just go to the homepage of their label adrenaline music and listen to whatever song you want!

Brendonsoh is right. Tim doesn't sing in any LOTB song. The vocals in this song are from Steve and Chris.
