EWishful eyes, 
fill this room up with the spirit of your cEries
so, that all the world can hear it go in vCain
Oh, once agDain I’m cracked and empty leaEking
Drip into the drCain, wait I can expDlain
inside myself that I am seEeking
Little smiles,
every moment brings another wasted mile
between everything and everything I need
Get up to leave for the time has come for leaving
and if it don’t succeed will just burry all the leaves
and we could escape this emptiness
Someone take control of me
I am spinning in infinity
with my life its going endlessly from control
take off your clothes for the time has come for sleeping
Cause everybody know the world continues though
Whether or not your still breathing
Little child,
I discovered you and hold you till surprise(?)
Just to punch you in the face with nothing more
than what all my anger bore
it’s little head and started screaming
but we’ve heard this all before
don’t just open up the door
and fill your mouth with freedoms feelings
But, someone take control of me
I am trudging with my infantry
with my army and my enemies taking hold
take off your clothes for the time has come for sleeping
Cause everybody know the world continues though
Whether or not your still breathing

Open chords E, C and D. Same pattern for all verses.

Wishful eyes,

fill this room up with the spirit of your cries

so, that all the world can hear it go in vain

D E

Oh, once again I’m cracked and empty leaking

C D

Drip into the drain, wait I can explain

inside myself that I am seeking

Little smiles,

every moment brings another wasted mile

between everything and everything I need

Get up to leave for the time has come for leaving

and if it don’t succeed will just burry all the leaves

and we could escape this emptiness

Someone take control of me

I am spinning in infinity

with my life its going endlessly from control

take off your clothes for the time has come for sleeping

Cause everybody know the world continues though

Whether or not your still breathing

Little child,

I discovered you and hold you till surprise(?)

Just to punch you in the face with nothing more

than what all my anger bore

it’s little head and started screaming

but we’ve heard this all before

don’t just open up the door

and fill your mouth with freedoms feelings

But, someone take control of me

I am trudging with my infantry

with my army and my enemies taking hold

take off your clothes for the time has come for sleeping

Cause everybody know the world continues though

Whether or not your still breathing
