Garden Statement

The traffics backed for miles
On this quiet suburban road
While the rubber necking strangers
Are dying to see these victims wounds

'Cause he's alone
His notebooks and poems
Writing something great when he wrote
Unlocked his secrets

As they became his lyrics
With no intent to show anyone

We gave, we give
But its all for nothing, its all for nothing
We try, we exist to nothing
Everything but its all for nothing

So the panic sets in cycles
His mind for restless sleep
And while the blood seeking leeches contaminate every life they lead
Just leave him alone in this dark room

It's like she slightly wrapped her coat
This is her secret
I fucking need this
Like I don't need anyone

We gave, we give
But its all for nothing, its all for nothing
We try, we exist to nothing
Everything but its all for nothing [repeat: x2]

Its like I've fallen asleep with my eyes open
Shutting down and off the lights
'Cause after all of this its 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 its all or nothing
Still I wouldn't try to fight

(and the lights are on you again
Like the sight you never saw
And he bleeds for you
And he lets you out

'Cause you don't know anymore)

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, the things that you need

The life you live and the dreams that you dream
The sudden blur all in slow motion
The broken down and now you're broken
(spill the ink and spill your guts again) [repeat: x7]

And its sadder than the saddest movie
I ever saw but without the good
And so I stopped watching
I stopped caring

I lost all interest and I stopped wearing
This plastic smile
Just wash my hands clean
I guess that you forgot about me

And I'm living like the big city feeling
Its better than the suburban dreaming
(spill the ink and spill your guts again) [repeat: x7]

Living on the great salvation
Talk shit on me like I don't know who
Who my real friends are
Anymore no

Well I don't know you anymore
And its sadder than the saddest movie
I ever saw but without the beauty
So I stopped watching
And I stopped caring

Spill the ink and spill your guts again!

Fall asleep with my eyes open
Shutting down and off the lights
'Cause after all of this its all for nothing
Still I wouldn't try to fight

(and the lights are on you again
Like the sight you never saw
And he bleeds for you
And he lets you out

'Cause you don't know anymore)
