Intro
Verse 1
D5p
The traffic's backed for miles on these quiet suburban roads
D5p
while the rubber necking strangers are dying to see this victim's
D5p
wounds cause hes all alone with his notebooks and poems
in this empty grave where he wrote all of his secrets that became his
lyrics with no intent to show anyone
Chorus
and we give and we give
but its all for nothing
its all for nothing
we try to resist but I give
everything and its all for nothing
Verse 2
so the panic sets and cycles his mind for restless sleep
while the blood sucking leeches contaminate every line they read
just leave him alone in this dark room this white sheet tightly wrapped
cocoon cause its no secret I fucking need this Like I dont need anyone
(Repeat Chorus twice)
Bridge
Part 1:
It's like Im falling asleep with my eyes open
shutting down and off the lights
cause after all of this its all or nothing
still I wouldnt try to fight
Repeat Bridge: Part 1 while singing this line with another vocalist
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
Interlude
D5-G5 (x2) 1 strum each power chord
So let me drown so I can breathe again Im through choking and
suffocating on alter egos and alterior motives which weigh you down and
take control of the way you are and the things that you need the life
you live and the dreams that you dream distort and blur all in slow
motion they broke you down and now you're broken and its sadder than
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
these plastic smiles Ill wash my hands clean I'll forget that you
forgot about me and Ill live the life, the big city feeling
cause its better than suburban dreaming Living off the friends that
hate you who talk shit on me like I don't know who my real friends are
anymore no I dont know you anymore and its sadder than the saddest
movie I ever saw but without the beauty so I'll stopped watching, I'll
stopped caring
(First vocalist singing in background)
spill the ink and spill your guts again
spill the ink and spill your guts again!!!
(Repeat Bridge Part 1)
