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 he’s 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 don’t need anyone

(Repeat Chorus twice)

Bridge

Part 1:

 It's like I’m falling asleep with my eyes open

shutting down and off the lights

 cause after all of this it’s all or nothing

 still I wouldn’t 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 I’m 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 it’s 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 I’ll wash my hands clean I'll forget that you

 forgot about me and I’ll live the life, the big city feeling

 cause it’s 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 don’t know you anymore and it’s 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)
