Straining our lungs to be heard

G
Nobody's listening
Bm A
Losing our way in these words
[Verse 1]
G Bm
I spill word after word like blood down a shirt
A
Tarnished and stained forever but you
G Bm
You only heard the words not the hurt
A
An absence of pain
D
They don't mean a thing
D Bm
They don't mean a thing
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
G Bm
I taste every mistake each morning I wake
A
B breathtaking blur of colour but I
G Bm
I'm crystal clear and all you hold dear
A
Locked to your chest
A G
It means that I'm desperate for the permanence
G
(To wash away indifference)
Bm
Is there not some equivalence
A
(To pacify the pain)
G
Crying in unwelcome ears
G
(Swallowed into perfect fears)
Bm A
What's the use in firing flares
A
(If they don't mean a thing)
A Bm
(They don't mean a thing)
[Chorus]

[Bridge] (Palm mute optional)
D A
Bm I awake,
G
or am I asleep
G D
Is this the end, or just another dream
Bm A
How can you tell,
G
when you can't feel
G
What can't be seen, but oh my god is it real
Bm
Because I don't need you to see this
A G
And I don't want you to feel this
G
But I only have so much spark to offer in all this darkness
Bm A G
And I screamed for you until the day I gave up and lost my voice
G
So with crimson arms and this broken neck
G
You fucking tell me who made this choice!
[Outro]
Bm A
This is the end

This is the end

This is the end

This is the end

This is the end

This is the end
G
(Nobody's listening)
Bm
(Nobody's listening)
G
This is the end!
G
This is the end!
