Nobody's listening

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

[Verse 2]
C Em
I taste every mistake each morning I wake
D
E breathtaking blur of colour but I
C Em
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)
Em
Is there not some equivalence
D
(To pacify the pain)
C
Crying in unwelcome ears
C
(Swallowed into perfect fears)
Em D
What's the use in firing flares
D
(If they don't mean a thing)
D Em
(They don't mean a thing)
[Chorus]

[Bridge] (Palm mute optional)
G D
Em I awake,
C
or am I asleep
C G
Is this the end, or just another dream
Em D
How can you tell,
C
when you can't feel
C
What can't be seen, but oh my god is it real
Em
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
Em 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]

This is the end

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