Verse 1:
D       B       F#
Embarrassed to be alive
D               B       F#
Sit with my life, open wide
D               B       F#
Your stare is forcing my face open

A leper crumblin, never joking

Safest to wallow in my own esteem
E       G  F    D  C       D B
Afraid, stick my neck out
E       D          C     D B
Knowing the day has drawn
E    D  Bm D  Bm    E

E               B G   C A  B
I'm a leper scared beyond this feeling

I dare to escape
E               B G   C A  B
A leper doomed to this

My life Has chosen to rape
