Verse 1

 And so I wake up, in this square grey-bar hotel

 No-one stirs around me

 I pick myself up using all of my force and will

 No-one cares about me

Verse 2

(Same chords)

Ten years ago now, when the world was bright and sunny

I was taken down out, down and out

When I looked up a policeman stared right at me

And took me out, down for the count

Pre-chorus

 If only they had heard my argument

 I would not be here but we had...

Chorus

 A failure to communicate

 I swore I was innocent

 He payed no attention, only hate

 As we had a...

 Failure to communicate

Verse 3

As I sit here, the shadows feel cold and heavy.

I can feel hope drain away

I looked out, the clouds were dark and scary

I didn't know what to say

Pre-chorus

If only they had heard my argument

I would not be here but we had...

Chorus

A failure to communicate

I swore I was innocent

He payed no attention, only hate

As we had a...

Failure to communicate

Bridge

 Suddenly, a crack behind the wall

 The cell began to fall

 I was finally going to be free

 My friend called out from the other side

 "Get out quick dude, you're gonna die

 We need to get you away"

 "Man, what did you even do?"

I said:

We had a failure to communicate

I swore I was innocent

He payed no attention, only hate

As we had a...

Failure to communicate
