Nobody's listening
F#

D#m C#
Straining our lungs to be heard

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

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

D#m C# B x2
[Bridge] (Palm mute optional)
F# C#
D#m I awake,
B
or am I asleep
B F#
Is this the end, or just another dream
D#m C#
How can you tell,
B
when you can't feel
B
What can't be seen, but oh my god is it real
D#m
Because I don't need you to see this
C# B
And I don't want you to feel this
B
But I only have so much spark to offer in all this darkness
D#m C# B
And I screamed for you until the day I gave up and lost my voice
B
So with crimson arms and this broken neck
B
You fucking tell me who made this choice!
[Outro]

B
This is the end!
B
This is the end!
