The traffic's backed for miles
on these quiet suburban roads
while the rubbernecking strangers
are dieing to see these victims wounds
cause he?s all alone
his notebooks and poems
well there?s something grave
where he wrote about this secret
that became his lyrics of no intent to show
[Chorus:]
well we give we get
but it's all for nothing
its all for nothing
we try we insist
that i gave everything
but its all for nothing

so the panic sets and cycles
his mind for restless sleep
and while the bloodsucking leeches
contaminate every line they read
just leave him alone in this dark room
this white sheet, his tightly wrapped cocoon

cause its no secret
I fucking need this
Like I don?t need anyone

[Chorus x2]

It's like I?m falling asleep with my eyes open
shutting down and off the lights
cause after all of this it?s all or nothing
still I wouldn?t try to

I?ll fall asleep with my eyes open
shutting down and off the lights
cause after all of this it?s all or nothing
still I wouldn?t try to fight

So let me drown so I can breathe again
I?m through choking and suffocating
on alter egos and alter motives
just weigh you down and take control of
the way you are and the things that you need
the life you live and the dreams that you dream
sudden blur all in slow motion
they broke down and now your broken
it?s sadder than the saddest movie
I ever saw but without the beauty
so I stopped watching I stopped caring
I lost all interest and I stopped wearing
these plastic smiles I?ve washed my hands clean
forget that you forgot about me
and I?m living like the big city feeling
it?s better than suburban dreaming

I'm leaving all the friends that like to
talk shit on me
Like I don't know who
My real friends are anymore
Don?t wanna know you anymore

and it?s sadder than the saddest movie
I ever saw but without the beauty
so I stopped watching I stopped caring
spilling ink and spill your guts again

fall asleep with my eyes open
shutting down and off the lights
cause I feel all of this is all or nothing
still I wouldn?t try to fight
