Tom: Am
Am 2x
[Verse 1]
Am C
They never taught us how to love
G F G
So we use our pain to comfort us
Am C
And we never practice what we preach
G F G
Instead we find someone else to teach
Am C
We try not to see with our eyes
G F G
And fill our plates with dozens of lies
Am C
We try so hard to keep it in
G F G
We turn away from what lies within
[Chorus]
Am C
We are splintered and we are rotten
G F G
Deep within the walls that we've forgotten
Am C
All the answers to all our problems
G F G
Lie within the one who tries to dodge them
[Verse 2]
Am C
We're so afraid to be alone
G F G
So we hoard our pain and call it home
Am C
They never taught us how to look inside
G F G
Only how to run and how to dry our eyes
Am C
We dig ourselves in too deep
G F G
How many of us die and pretend to live
Am C
We stop the life from leaking in
G F G
When we turn away from what lies within
[Chorus]
Am C
We are splintered and we are rotten
G F G
Deep within the walls that we've forgotten
Am C
All the answers to all our problems
G F G
Lie within the one who tries to dodge them
[Chorus variation Outro]
Am C
We are splintered and we are rotten
G F G
Deep under the floorboards we've forgotten
Am C
But all the answers to all our problems
G F G
Lie within the one who tries to dodge them
