Armor for Sleep
Armor for Sleep was an American rock band from New Jersey, formed in 2001 and disbanded in 2009. The final lineup consisted of lead vocalist, guitarist and songwriter Ben Jorgensen, lead guitarist PJ DeCicco, bassist Anthony DiIonno and drummer Nash Breen.
After initial demos had been distributed, New York-based independent label Equal Vision Records signed the band and went on to release the concept-based albums, Dream to Make Believe (2003) and What to Do When You Are Dead (2005). The following year they signed to Sire Records/Warner Bros. and released their last album Smile for Them (2007). They announced their disbandment in October 2009.
During their recording career, the band were renowned for their blend of alternative rock to atmospheric emo and dream pop.
History
Armor For Sleep was founded by Ben Jorgensen in 2001 in New Jersey. Nash Breen and Peter James "PJ" DeCicco later joined the band after leaving fellow New Jersey band Prevent Falls. Jorgensen stated the name of the band comes from his early experiences of writing music and not being able to sleep. As he recalls, "I guess when I started the band I was kind of, like, retreating in my room and I kind of couldn't really fall asleep, so I started playing music. I just thought of the name Armor for Sleep, because it was really, the music was keeping me from passing out! Which was something I was procrastinating on."

Who's Gonna Lie To You
by: Armor For SleepI look through the glass at them
Just to know that I have eyes that work
But I still like the way it feels
To be so lost in you
Who's gonna tell you the truth
Just to pull you back under
Who's gonna break you down
Just when you thought you were on top of the world
Who's gonna lie to you
Now that I'm gone,
Who's gonna pick up where I left off
Just to be seen I stay
So they know that I can show my face
But I still like the way it feels
To hide away with you
Who's gonna tell you the truth
Just to pull you back under
Who's gonna break you down
Just when you thought you were on top of the world
Who's gonna lie to you
Now that I'm gone,
Who's gonna pick up where I left off
I see you in a dream
Holding your hands over blankets made out of me
Pulling it off
You're freezing cold
Your breathing slows
You're all alone
You're freezing cold
Your breathing slows
You're all alone
Who's gonna break you down
Just when you thought you were on top of the world
Who's gonna lie to you
Now that I'm gone,
Who's gonna pick up where I left off
Who's gonna wake up next to you
You were on top of the world
Who's gonna lie to you
Now that I'm gone,
