Garden Statement

The traffic's backed for miles On these quiet suburban roads While the rubber necking strangers Are dying to see this victim's 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 its all for nothing Its all for nothing We try to resist but I give Everything and its all for nothing So the panic sets and cycles His mind for restless sleep While the blood sucking leeches Contaminate every line they read Just leave him alone in this dark room This white sheet 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 fight 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 you're broken And it's sadder than the saddest movie I ever saw but with out the beauty So I stopped watching, I stopped caring I lost all interest and I stopped wearing These 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 Cause it's better than suburban dreaming Living off the friends that hate 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 movie I ever saw but without the beauty So I stopped watching, I stopped caring [Singing in background] (spill the ink and spill your guts again) 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
