๐ Lyrics
The traffic's backed for miles
On these quiet suburban roads
While the rubber necking strangers
Are dying to see this victim's wounds
'Cause he's all alone
With his notebooks and poems
In this open grave where he wrote
All of his secrets that became his lyrics
With no intent to show anyone
And we give and we give
But its all for nothing
Its all for nothing
We try to resist that I gave
Everything but its all for nothing
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
We give and we give
But its all for nothing
Its all for nothing
We try to resist that I gave
Everything but its all for nothing
We give and we give
But its all for nothing
Its all for nothing
We try to resist that I gave
Everything but its all for nothing
It's like I've fallen 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
I've fallen asleep with my eyes open
(And you'll lie to all your friends about sights you never saw)
Shutting down and off the lights
(And you'll preach to all the press about what you don't know at all)
'Cause after all of this it's all or nothing
Still I wouldn't try to fight
So let me drown so I can breathe again
I'm through choking and suffocating
On alter egos and alter 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
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 stopped watching, I stopped caring
Spill the ink and spill your guts again
I've fallen asleep with my eyes open
(And you'll lie to all your friends about sights you never saw)
Shutting down and off the lights
(And you'll preach to all the press about what you don't know at all)
'Cause after all of this it's all or nothing
Still I wouldn't try to fight
On these quiet suburban roads
While the rubber necking strangers
Are dying to see this victim's wounds
'Cause he's all alone
With his notebooks and poems
In this open grave where he wrote
All of his secrets that became his lyrics
With no intent to show anyone
And we give and we give
But its all for nothing
Its all for nothing
We try to resist that I gave
Everything but its all for nothing
So the panic sets and cycles

But its all for nothing
Its all for nothing
We try to resist that I gave
Everything but its all for nothing
It's like I've fallen asleep with my eyes open
