The traffic's backed for miles
On these quiet suburban roads
While the rubber necking strangers
Are dying to see these victims wounds
Cause he’s all alone
With his notebooks and poems
In this open grave where he wrote
All of his secrets
That became his lyrics
With no intent to show anyone
[Chorus:]
And we give, and we give
But it's all for nothing
Its all for nothing
We try to resist,
But I gave everything
And its all for nothing
So the panic sets and cycles
His mind for restless sleep
And while the blood-sucking leeches
Contaminate every line they read
Just leave him alone in this dark room(tightly wrapped cocoon)
This white sheet, his tightly wrapped cocoon
Cause its no secret
I ******* need this
Like I don’t need anyone
[Chorus x2]
It's like I’m falling asleep with my eyes open
shutting down and off the lights
cause after all of this it’s all or nothing
still I wouldn’t try to ...
I've fallen asleep with my eyes open
(and you'll lie to all your friends)
(about sights you never saw)
Shutting down and off the lights
(and you'll preach to all the press)
(about what you don't know at all)
Cause after all of this it's all or nothing
Still I wouldn't try to fight
So let me drown so I can breathe again
I’m through choking and suffocating
On alter egos and alter motives
Which weigh you down and take control of
The way you are and the things that you need
The life you live and the dreams that you dream
Distort and blur all in slow motion
They broke you down and now your broken
(Spill the ink and spill your guts again)*16 times in the background*
And it’s sadder than the saddest movie
I ever saw but without the beauty
So I stopped watching, I stopped caring
I've lost all interest and I stopped wearing
These plastic smiles, I’ve washed my hands clean
Forget that you forgot about me
And I’m living life, the big city feeling
It’s better than suburban dreaming
Living off the friends that hate you
Talk **** on me like I don't know who
My real friends are anymore, no,
I dont know you anymore
And it’s sadder than the saddest movie
I ever saw, but without the beauty
So I stopped watching, I stopped caring
Spill the ink and spill your guts again!
I've fallen asleep with my eyes open
(and you'll lie to all your friends)
(about sights you never saw)
Shutting down and off the lights
(and you'll preach to all the press)
(about what you don't know at all)
Cause after all of this it's all or nothing
Still I wouldn't try to fight

Review about Garden Statement AMAZE! | Reviewer: Jennifer! | 11/29/2007

I lovelovelovelove Hidden In Plain View. Its soo sad that they broke up =[ I miss them. A LOTS. <3
Best band I've seen in a while. | Reviewer: Milo | 10/9/2005
HIPV, well what can I say... Godly? I think so, I went with a few friends to see them on friday night at a local club, as soon as they came on the place went wild, I've never seen a place so controlled by music. with only 300 people watching the sound was clean and crisp. The way in which they link the songs from one to another is without a doubt magical, HIPV will be one of the next biggest Emo/indie bands on the way to the top so look out for them and remember to buy there album 'Life in dreaming' its worth spending £10 on.
Top tip: Best song to see live is 'Garden Statement' it means alot to the band and once you understand the lyrics you will see why its such an emotional song.
