Standard (EADGBE)

We never meant to be this bad

We never meant to be this sad

We never meant to be a lot of things that were lurking in the dark

 I applaud the facade of every broken heart

 Where dreams are just screams from a deep undying dark

 Or where sweet birds are the words of a world

That hurled you down to the ground where you found

Where you are now

 Where you found, solid ground

(Same riff as intro)

Buy me a new set of shoes

I'll write out a new set of rules

I'll feed you my heart and we will see if we can cure your disease

 I applaud the facade of every broken heart

 Where dreams are just screams from a deep undying dark

 Or where sweet birds are the words of a world

That hurled you down to the ground where you found

Where you are now

 Where you found, solid ground

Bridge

I'm an altruist with a selfish hand

But I know and I choose, am I something greater?

I need something harder in my veins

My blood won't help me from privileged pains
