Intro:
Em* C* D*

Verse:
           E minorEm                  D MajorD
I cry alone in the night so you don't have to see my tears

And I'm the most unstable when I'm controlled by my fears
 Cmaj7Cmaj7          C majorC
I hate how my body is so I avoid these mirrors

And I'm not so happy, things aren't always as they appear
      E minorEm
The fog is slowly gone and it's becoming all so clear
      D MajorD
The version of my happy self is no longer near
     C majorC
Feeling this way for the entirety of a year

So I listen as the sadness whispers things in my ears

 E minorEm
I rip myself away into a lonely empty hole
     D MajorD
And you take yourself away as I sell my whole soul
   Cmaj7Cmaj7              C majorC
Digging into this deprеssion like a crying little mole

I fall down an еternal fireman's pole
   E minorEm
Driving on this road alone it's already 3 am
       D MajorD
My headlights try their best to push through the dark I'm trapped in
    Cmaj7Cmaj7
But the ghosts of the past stand ahead my racing car
                     C majorC                E minorEm
They creep and they haunt and keep my thoughts and me from going all too far

My emotional comfort runs full out of gas
     D MajorD
And I'm stuck here in the cold wonder how long I can last
   C majorC
So I bang my head to get the demons out upon the shattered glass

Hoping I won't survive this mental bash
   E minorEm
I hike down this path and arrive at the witch's altar
   D MajorD
I bow and worship this sadness that has become my martyr
    C majorC
She whispers in my ear why have you done this and what have you done

Why couldn't you have made the right choice for once
    E minorEm
So I scream and I sob and I fall into this hole
       D MajorD
My breath leaves my chest as I hit the worm filled soil
      C majorC
I see the stars and they tell me I don't deserve my soul

And let me tell you it's real fucking hard to get out of a hole when they take
                     EM
When they take, when they take away your rope

They sell happiness all wrapped inside a pill
       D MajorD
So I keep writing these poems just to feel something still
         G+G
This can't be happening, no this can't be real
      C majorC
But I condemned myself to this place, myself I have sealed
    E minorEm
So I sprint in the dark to shrivel up all by myself
            D MajorD
And I look at all these people, how we're all unkept
    G+G
Secrets from my past come rising to the top
          C majorC
And one day I'll throw myself off the ledge in order to make it stop
E minorEm
And they sell joy all wrapped inside a pill
       D MajorD
Our own unique character our consumption will slowly kill
    G+G
Just swallow it down before you break the rules too hard
      C*
And stay right there, stay inside your own backyard
      Em*
I want to leave this place, and never return
      D*
I want to leave this place, take my past and let it burn
       C*
I want to leave this place, and leave no rock unturned

Until one day I can make it stop
          Em*
Yeah I can make it stop
