The traffic's packed for miles
On these quiet southern roads
While the rubbernecking strangers are dying
To see these victims' wounds
Because he's all alone
His notebook's in a post
When the soap engraved where he wrote
A love myth secret
That became his lyrics
With no intent to show where he wrote
We did, we did
But it's all for nothing, it's all for nothing
We tried, resisted, I did everything
But it's all for nothing
So the panic sets in
In 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
This one sheet
Slightly wrapped in gold
Cause it's no secret
I * need this
Like I don't need this

You don't need any more
We get, we get
But it's all for nothing, it's all for nothing
We try, resisted, I gave everything
But it's all for nothing
We get, we get
But it's all for nothing, it's all for nothing
We try, resisted, I gave everything
But it's all for nothing
Cause I can't hold him to sleep
With my optic there
So let's try this so we'll figure this out



Open, shutting down
And all the lights, the thoughts and all of this
It's all or nothing
Still I wouldn't try
To oppose
The lights in my eyes
Open, shutting down
And all the lights, the thoughts and 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
Sway 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
Salt and blur all in slow motion
Sway you down and now you're broken
You're sadder than the saddest movie
I ever saw but without the goodies
So I stopped watching, I stopped caring
I lost all interest and I stopped wearing
These plastic smiles, just watch my hands clean
I get that you got about me
And I'm living life, a big city feeling
It's better than superb in dreaming
I'm living off the French addicts
With drugs in a league
Like the French addicts
I don't know who my real friends are
And I don't know who I don't know you
And when you're born it's Saturday
The saddest movie I've ever seen
Without the goodies
So I stopped watching, I stopped caring
This really ain't gas, spill your guts again
All the streets with my eyes open
Shutting down and all the lights
Cause I know this is all or nothing
Still I wouldn't try to fight
