Verse 1:
F#m               A                 Bm       C#m
Overindulgence in grief is only immature
F#m               A                        Bm   C#m
Forgetfulness is both the sickness and the cure
F#m              A                         Bm       C#m
Lay your emotion with them like a mourning wreath
F#m               A                            Bm        C#m
I chose to shut my eyes, you chose to bare your teeth


Pre-Chorus:
F#m             A                Bm              C#m
Ah
What's the point of pushing back against the mill
                         F#m
That grinds the world to dust?
           A                Bm                   C#m                F#m
What's the point of picking at your wounds, your scratches and your scars?
          A             Bm
One would think so, I believed so
       C#m          F#m
And it was the wiser me
        A               F#m
But the wiser you knows better
        A             F#m
But the wiser you is (free)

Chorus:
F#m
Ah
            A        Bm
Another apathetic epitaph
                 C#m                     F#m
I think my marble heart is gonna break in half
                A
A razorblade, a knife, or a saw
          Bm                       C#m
The tepid autumn day is starting to thaw
                            F#m
So stupid, I can't help but laugh
                 A                 Bm
I really want to scream, "I've had enough"
                  C#m       F#m
A candle burns another photograph
                      A
A helpless child, the same as before
           Bm                            C#m   F#m
I grip its neck and reach my hand for the door


Verse 2:
F#m                      A                       Bm    C#m
Playing the world like a toy - I think I'm gonna hurl
F#m               A                    Bm      C#m
What do you understand? A naive little girl
F#m               A                         Bm      C#m
I understand that I still spin and play the same
F#m               A                      Bm      C#m
I simply went and gave a new name to the game
F#m       A
Ah, And I know damn well
    Bm               C#m               F#m
You cannot trick the system running the machine
      A               Bm             C#m                F#m
I'm aware no soul can enter, roam its halls and come out clean


Pre-Chorus:
         A                  Bm
And it's like that, and I'm like that
          C#m             F#m
And I'll always bear this stone
        A                     F#m
And I'm fine with that, I told her
       A                   F#m
And it chilled her to the (bone)


Chorus:
F#m
Hey!
                     A            Bm
Something about this doesn't seem okay
                          C#m         F#m
I hear my voice as if it's really far away
                  A
My shadow darkens under the sun
          Bm                            C#m
You hold a hand that still remembers the gun
                        F#m
Nobody taught me how to pray
                A                    Bm
An instrument I heard so many people play
                C#m                    F#m
I'm ready to be blinded by the breaking day
                       A
You'd think by now the chains got undone
          Bm                      C#m      F#m
But I'm afraid of breaking into a run


Post-Chorus:
F#m*            A*
Draw a thousand lines
            Bm*            C#m*                    F#m*
Sometimes I dream, I wish I had the bars to build a cage
            A*
Loose compromise
                    Bm*    C#m*                  F#m
Where the sun won't set as long as I can set the stage
           A
A thousand tries
               Bm             C#m                   F#m
Another circle drawn, another light, another missing page
           A
A thousand miles
                 Bm
Walk, sit, and reprise
      C#m                        F#m
Your hollow call to the winds of change
           A
A thousand times
               Bm              C#m
I thought now, wouldn't it be callous
               F#m
Wouldn't it be strange
             A                    Bm
To meet your eyes, cold and tired eyes
        C#m                F#m*   F#m* F#m* F#m*
With anything but childish rage?


Chorus:
F#m                A
Now, don't make me laugh
                     Bm        C#m
I will not read your lousy epitaph
                   F#m
Who do you take me for?
           A
I've had enough
                   Bm             C#m
And I would gladly break my every bone
                         F#m
To have you breathe some more

                    A
Now, don't make me laugh
                     Bm        C#m
I will not read your lousy epitaph
                   F#m
Who do you take me for?
           A
I've had enough
                   Bm              C#m
And I would gladly break your every bone
                         F#m
To have you breathe some more
