Dead Guitars

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
