Straining our lungs to be heard

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

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

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

This is the end

(Nobody's listening)
Gm
(Nobody's listening)
D#
This is the end!
D#
This is the end!
