Verse 1:
(Play chords as octaves like the intro)
Em D C D
button this up, secure it for violence
Em D C D
standard melamine, slotted and silent
Em D C D
wide eyed and frantic you're tapping your head
Em D C D
each word is fiction, it's frayed, and it's bent
Verse 2:
(Open chords)
Em D C D
But i'll gather them again, I ll salvage every letter
Em D C D
and savor every piece of truth, they'll bow to me their savior
Em D C D
they scatter and return to me, with discipline and structure
Em D C D
they will burn or they will soothe, they'll set bone or they'll fracture
Em D C Em
I manage to stabilize, I do all I can, all I can
Em D C Em
I manage to sterilize, I do all I can, all I can
Em C G D

G D C D
you're severely compromised, I'm your trauma kit
G D C D
close the flow, quicken the clot, K to disconnect
G D C D
you untie the knot, remove the gauze and spit into my face
G D C D
no ointment, salve, or therapy will heal you, so I abstain
Verse 3:
(Play chords as octaves like the intro)
Em D C D
the chords in your throat are forming a riot
Em D C D
you are rotten, obscene, jealous and defiant
Em D C D
each thought corrodes, what each comment suggests is
Em D C D
these wounds aren't from war, they are self-inflicted
[V4]
(Open chords)
Em D C D
screaming and sentenced you're rolled to the flame
Em D C D
each desperate breath will whisper my name
Em D C D
as subtle as breathing my words as blood spill
Em D C D
kidneys, intestines with surgical skill
Em D C Em
I manage consumables and I don't waste, I don't waste.
Em D C Em
I manage consumables and I don't waste, I don't waste.
