Straining our lungs to be heard

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

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

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

This is the end

This is the end

This is the end

C#
(Nobody's listening)

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