Lyrics:

The traffic's backed for miles

on these quiet suburban roads

while the rubbernecking strangers

are dieing to see these victims wounds

cause he’s all alone

his notebooks and poems

well there’s something grave

where he wrote about this secret

that became his lyrics of no intent to show



[Chorus:]

well we give we get

but it's all for nothing

its all for nothing

we try we insist

that i gave everything

but its all for nothing



so the panic sets and cycles

his mind for restless sleep

and while the bloodsucking leeches

contaminate every line they read

just leave him alone in this dark room

this white sheet, his tightly wrapped cocoon



cause its no secret

I fucking need this

Like I don’t need anyone



[Chorus x2]



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



I’ll fall 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



So let me drown so I can breathe again

I’m through choking and suffocating

on alter egos and alter motives

just 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

sudden blur all in slow motion

they broke down and now your broken

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’ve washed my hands clean

forget that you forgot about me

and I’m living like the big city feeling

it’s better than suburban dreaming



I'm believing all the claims that angels

talk shit on me

Like I don't know who

My real friends are anymore

Don’t wanna 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

spilling ink and spill your guts again



fall asleep with my eyes open

shutting down and off the lights

cause I feel all of this is all or nothing

still I wouldn’t try to fight



(and the lights are on you again

like the sight you never saw

and he bleeds for you

and he lets you out

cause you dont know anymore)
