First of all, apologies for naming the riffs "Riff A" and so on, it would have just been
impossible for me to give each part of the song it's own name, since there are so many
different variations of the main riffs. It's just as easy to work out which parts to play
when as the song order tells you which riffs go where. It's the longest song I've tabbed
thus far, I hope I'm still doing well! I've only tabbed guitar one's parts I'm afraid, it
would have just killed me if I'd have tried to do both, I'm not up to that. He doesn't
have that involved a part in the song anyway, and it sounds GREAT on it's own, trust
me :) ENJOY!!!

Song Order:

---

Right, this might be a bit tough to explain as there are so many riffs and a lot of them
are only a few seconds long, but, this is the order in which each riff is played with a
few of the lyrics that are sung at that point, to keep you on track):

Riff Ax1
Riff Bx1
Riff C x1
Riff D x1
Riff Ex1
Riff Fx1(..slit my wrists..)
Riff Gx1
Riff Fx1
Riff Hx1
Riff Ix1
Riff Dx1
Riff Ex1
Riff Jx1
Riff Kx4(..came here for something..)
Riff Lx8Half way through these eight, (..you hold the power..)
Riff Mx1
Riff Nx1
Riff Mx1
Riff Ox1
Riff Px1(..i've been the wrong one time and time again..)
Riff Qx8
Riff Rx1After a few R's and S's, (..you've turned away from me..)
Riff Sx1

Repeat Riffs R and S whilst the song fades out.

Lyrics:

---

Slit my wrists, take away the pain.
Slit my throat, everyone's to blame.
Lost in the fields of confusion.
Restless nights, they're not far away.

I came here for something and I'm not turning back.
A calm piece of mind but you still hold my keys.
Keeping my fate deep within your threshold.
Petty inconvenience but it means the world to me.

You hold the power.
To set me free.
Caught in your grasp, how?
Just let me be.
Give me control out.
Out of these depths.
A fiery hell.
I pray for death.

I've been the wrong one time and time again.
Now I'm on my knees, forgive me please.

Tore out my heart and handed to me on a silver platter.
Sew up the hole, emptiness in the place of compassion.
You made me this way.
I am the product of your creation.
Look the other way.
Now you've turned your back on me.

You've turned away from me, the future's much too far away to see.
I hope you learn the truth,
Not the way things were meant to be with me and you.
