Splintered

Am 2x 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 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 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 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
