Lyrics/Song Structure:
======================
---> Play Riff 1 (x4)
---> Play Riff 1 over:
With the worlds slaying me slow
The verbs that just don't flow
Confusing use of time
Partial stoning of the heart
Waiting for something to start
Confusing use of time
---> Play Riff 2 (Acoustic) over:
But the trying again
Makes me think it's all gonna end
Confusing use of time
---> Play Riff 3 over:
But everytime I turn the volume down
All that I hear is the deafening sound
Of your hearts pound
---> Play Riff 3 (x2) and Solo 1
---> Play Riff 2 (Electric) over:
But the trying again
Makes me think it's all gonna end
Confusing use of time
---> Play Riff 1 over:
Today, the longest day
Hearing repeating things you'd say
Confusing use of time
Can you hear the void that I describe
What could I say vacancy sounds like
Confusing use of time
---> Play Riff 2 (Acoustic) over:
But the trying again
Makes me think it's all gonna end
Confusing use of time
---> Play Riff 3 (x4) and Solo 2
