Verse 2:
E5 D5so the panic sets and cycles his mind for restless sleep

shutting down and off the lights

D5
So let me drown so I can breathe again I’m through choking and
G5suffocating on alter egos and alterior motives which weigh you down and
take control of the way you are and the things that you need the life
G5you live and the dreams that you dream distort and blur all in slow
D5motion they broke you down and now you're broken and 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
D5these plastic smiles I’ll wash my hands clean I'll forget that you
forgot about me and I’ll live the life, the big city feeling
D5cause it’s better than suburban dreaming Living off the friends that
G5hate you who talk shit on me like I don't know who my real friends are
anymore no I don’t know you anymore and it’s sadder than the saddest
G5movie I ever saw but without the beauty so I'll stopped watching, I'll
stopped caring
(First vocalist singing in background)
spill the ink and spill your guts again
spill the ink and spill your guts again!!!
(Repeat Bridge Part 1)
