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)
