Intro: Verse I lost my head going for a crown And it's quite a funny story but I'll never write it down They switched my blood out with ink Then wrote a book inside me, thus forcing me to read Line by line, rib by rib Improper punctuation is puncturing my skin And yeah it hurts, but not too much Cuz I've got an ugly cover but who are you to judge? This open book, an open book Another wasted tree An open book, an open book With dust to cover me I'm just an open book that no one wants to read Verse I've got these hands that I don't want And they shake with every letter as I scribble down my thoughts With sloppy words and sloppy form They end up on crumpled paper I throw idly on the floor But every page is yours to write We're all just pointless stories connected at the spine And by ourselves we don't make sense But when you put us all together, you start to comprehend This open book, an open book Another wasted tree An open book, an open book With dust to cover me I'm just an open book that no one wants to read Bridge This life, it tears us to shreds Thrown on a pile to be burned with all the rest Just note the raindrop on a page We use our music to distort the words we say Cuz I think you'll like me this way An open book, an open book Another wasted tree An open book, an open book With dirt to cover me I'm just another book that you don't want An open book, an open book Another wasted tree An open book, an open book With dust to cover me N.C. I'm just an open book that no one wants to read
