Straining our lungs to be heard

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

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

[Bridge] (Palm mute optional)
A E
F#m I awake,
D
or am I asleep
D A
Is this the end, or just another dream
F#m E
How can you tell,
D
when you can't feel
D
What can't be seen, but oh my god is it real
F#m
Because I don't need you to see this
E D
And I don't want you to feel this
D
But I only have so much spark to offer in all this darkness
F#m E 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]

This is the end!

This is the end!
