The traffic's backed for miles 
On these quiet suburban roads 
While the rubber necking strangers 
Are dying to see these victims wounds 
Cause he’s all alone 
With his notebooks and poems 
In this open grave where he wrote 
All of his secrets 
That became his lyrics 
With no intent to show anyone [Chorus:] 
And we give, and we give 
But it's all for nothing 
Its all for nothing 
We try to resist, 
But I gave everything 
And its all for nothing 
So the panic sets and cycles 
His mind for restless sleep 
And while the blood-sucking leeches 
Contaminate every line they read 
Just leave him alone in this dark room(tightly wrapped cocoon) 
This white sheet, his tightly wrapped cocoon 
Cause its no secret 
I ******* 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've fallen asleep with my eyes open (and you'll lie to all your friends) (about sights you never saw) 
Shutting down and off the lights (and you'll preach to all the press) (about what you don't know at all) 
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 
Which 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 
Distort and blur all in slow motion 
They broke you down and now your broken (Spill the ink and spill your guts again)*16 times in the background* 
And it’s sadder than the saddest movie 
I ever saw but without the beauty 
So I stopped watching, 
I stopped caring 
I've 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 life, the big city feeling 
It’s better than suburban dreaming 
Living off the friends that hate you 
Talk **** on me like 
I don't know who 
My real friends are anymore, no, 
I dont 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 
Spill the ink and spill your guts again! 
I've fallen asleep with my eyes open (and you'll lie to all your friends) (about sights you never saw) 
Shutting down and off the lights (and you'll preach to all the press) (about what you don't know at all) 
Cause after all of this it's all or nothing 
Still I wouldn't try to fight
