Feeding your mind with selfishness

Hey you now wonder
Aimlessly around your consciousness
Verse 2
(guitar 1)
Y[A]our prophecies fail[D5]
And your thoughts become weak[A]

Y[A]ou're clothing yourself[D5]
In the shields of despa[A]ir
Your courage now impaired[D5]
***verse 2 for guitar 2 same as verse 1***

Hey why can't you listen
Hey why can't you hear
Hey why can't you listen
As love screams everywhere
Guitar1 plays Riff 1 x 4
Guitar2 plays natural harmonics w/ muting
[B5]You crucify all honesty
No signs you see do you believe
And all[D5] you words just twist and turn
Reviving just to crash and burn
[B5]You're fighting till the bitter end
If only your heart could open[D5] up
And listen
Guitar1 plays Riff1 x 4
Guitar Solo (guitar 2) Guitar1 plays same chords as verse
play 3 times
