Chapter 13 Lyrics
And my heart aches from this news
Like your footsteps in crowded rooms
Feel the sweet scents of autumn blooms
Is this what you imagined?
Caught your glimpse from an empty stare
Hidden eyes behind your auburn hair
Catch my breath for the smoke to clear
And it's just as it should be
My best laid plans
Will build and break your heart
Her guilty hands
Tear my whole world apart
My mind keeps racing
She's softly dreaming
I'm scraped and sober
But there's no one listening
And we'll wake up in vacant rooms
Pull you close to my aching skin
Broken glass on the porcelain
Is this what you imagined?
We'll forget what we used to say
And our lives won't mean anything
Pull me close as I drift away
And it's just as it should be
My best laid plans
Will build and break your heart
Her guilty hands
Tear my whole world apart
My mind keeps racing
She's softly dreaming
I'm scraped and sober
But there's no one listening
And we'll both take our revenge
But we still don't feel any better
And we'll both take our revenge
But we still won't feel any better
x4
I'm scraped and sober but there's no one listening
I'm scraped and sober but there's no one listening
I'm scraped and sober but there's no one listening
I'm scraped and sober but there's no on listening to me at all
Like your footsteps in crowded rooms
Feel the sweet scents of autumn blooms
Is this what you imagined?
Hidden eyes behind your auburn hair
Catch my breath for the smoke to clear
And it's just as it should be
Will build and break your heart
Her guilty hands
Tear my whole world apart
My mind keeps racing
She's softly dreaming
I'm scraped and sober
But there's no one listening
Pull you close to my aching skin
Broken glass on the porcelain
Is this what you imagined?
And our lives won't mean anything
Pull me close as I drift away
And it's just as it should be
Will build and break your heart
Her guilty hands
Tear my whole world apart
My mind keeps racing
She's softly dreaming
I'm scraped and sober
But there's no one listening
But we still don't feel any better
And we'll both take our revenge
But we still won't feel any better
x4
I'm scraped and sober but there's no one listening
I'm scraped and sober but there's no one listening
I'm scraped and sober but there's no on listening to me at all

lyrics from the album
And my heart hangs from this noose Like your footsteps in crowded rooms Filled with sweet scents of autumn blooms Is this what you imagine?
Catch a glimpse from her empty stare Hidden eyes behind her auburn hair Catch my breath for the smoke to clear And it's just as it should be
My best-laid plans wilil build and break your heart Her guilty hands tear my whole world apart My mind keeps racing She's softly dreaming I'm scraped and sober but there's no one listening
And we'll wake up in vacant rooms Pull you close to my aching skin Broken glass on the porcelain Is this what you imagine?
We'll forget what we used to say And our lives won't mean anything Pull me close as I drift away And it's just as it should be
My best-laid plans wilil build and break your heart Her guilty hands tear my whole world apart My mind keeps racing She's softly dreaming I'm scraped and sober but there's no one listening
And we'll both take our revenge But we still won't feel any better And we both take our revenge But we still don't feel any better
I'm scraped and sober but there's no one listening to me at all
the first line is actually "and my heart hangs from this noose" according to the album cover. Although does anyone else think "And my heart aches from this news" sounds beta coz i do!???
When he mentions, 'I'm scraped and sober, but there's no one listening to me at all', it got me thinking about the Alcoholics Anonymous 12-step recovery program. These alcoholics go through all these steps and emerge out of rehab and then what? Chapter 13...life moves on. What does an addict do when he's supposedly 'cured' of his addiction? How disheartened would you feel if you recovered from something like alcoholism or drug addiction, and no one was there to support you or to hear how well you're doing now that you've kicked the habit?
I haven't checked this idea with all of the lyrics, but I thought it was a point worth bringing up :)
You are amazing.
You are amazing.
Oh and I just looked up "broken glass on porcelain" on Google and found that porcelain is used to break glass when breaking into cars and what-not.

Love this one!
Has an almost "blink feel' but then again, something new.
The first part is:
"And my heart hangs from this noose."
fuck yeah i love this song the album got 2 out of 5 stars in kerrang thats fucked
The best song on the whole damn album. Structurually it is so fucking awesome. Fact: Travis recorded the drums to this song in one take.
According to Mark, the name comes from Dante's Inferno's Chapter XIII, about suicide. The song itself is supposed to be a bout a guy seeing a beautiful girl and then going to a hotel room and commiting suicide.
Who cares, the song is great.
