Straining our lungs to be heard

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

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

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

This is the end

This is the end

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

This is the end!
