As my eyes burn with frustration
 And my heart is growing tired
 In my head there's all the contradictions
 in my hands a mess of splinters, chrome and wire
 Dead guitars (x4)

 Well I played her like a song
 But now the song is gone
 And I sung every one of her praises
 Oh, she left me on empty phrases
 Dead guitars (x4)

 Well I see all these new faces
 And they look to me like a row of trees
 Of all the friends that have now departed
 You're still the one that means the most to me

 Let the silence steal the moment
 Let it gain the upper hand
 And I will surrender to that language
 It's the only one I really understand
 Dead guitars (x8)

 Take a life in all its glory
 All its sweetness rare and dear
 Now I know that all that noise was just a cover
 You came and went so that we might hear
