C#m B
Losing our way in these words
[Verse 1]
A C#m
I spill word after word like blood down a shirt
B
Tarnished and stained forever but you
A C#m
You only heard the words not the hurt
B
An absence of pain
E
They don't mean a thing
E C#m
They don't mean a thing
[Chorus]

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

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

A
This is the end!

This is the end!
