Verse 1:
E D5p D
The traffic's backed for miles on these quiet suburban roads
D5p
while the rubber necking strangers are dying to see this victim's
E D5p D
wounds cause he’s all alone with his notebooks and poems
B
in this empty grave where he wrote all of his secrets that became his
AEG
lyrics with no intent to show anyone
Chorus:
BDBD
and we give and we give
GD
but its all for nothing
GD
its all for nothing
BDBD
we try to resist but I give
GDGD
everything and its all for nothing
Verse 2:
ED
so the panic sets and cycles his mind for restless sleep
E
while the blood sucking leeches contaminate every line they read
D
just leave him alone in this dark room this white sheet tightly wrapped
BAEG
cocoon cause its no secret I fucking need this Like I don’t need anyone
Bridge:
Part 1:
D
It's like I’m falling asleep with my eyes open
G
shutting down and off the lights
E
cause after all of this it’s all or nothing
DGD
still I wouldn’t try to fight
and you'll lie to all your friends
about sights you never saw
and you'll preach to all the press
about what you don't know at all
at all
D
So let me drown so I can breathe again I’m through choking and
G
suffocating on alter egos and alterior motives which weigh you down and
D
take control of the way you are and the things that you need the life
G
you live and the dreams that you dream distort and blur all in slow
D
motion they broke you down and now you're broken and it’s sadder than
G
the saddest movie I ever saw but without the beauty so I stopped
watching, I stopped caring I lost all interest and I stopped wearing
D
these plastic smiles I’ll wash my hands clean I'll forget that you
G
forgot about me and I’ll live the life, the big city feeling
D
cause it’s better than suburban dreaming Living off the friends that
G
hate you who talk shit on me like I don't know who my real friends are
D
anymore no I don’t know you anymore and it’s sadder than the saddest
G
movie I ever saw but without the beauty so I'll stopped watching, I'll
spill the ink and spill your guts again
spill the ink and spill your guts again!!!
