Am
Falling too fast to prepare for this
G
Tripping in the world could be dangerous
Em
Everybody circling is vulturous

Negative, Nepotist
Am
Everybody waiting for the fall of man
G
Everybody praying for the end of times
Em
Everybody hoping they could be the one
N.C.
I was born to run, I was born for this


Pre-Chorus:
Am
Whip, whip
       G
Run me like a race horse
        D
Hold me like a rip cord
         Em
Break me down and build me up
        Am
I wanna be the slip, slip
        G
Word upon your lip, lip

Letter that you rip, rip

Veins. I do what it takes


Verse 2:
Am
Always had a fear of being typical

Looking at my body feeling miserable
Em
Always hanging on to the visual

I wanna be invisible
Am
Looking at my years like a martyrdom
G
Everybody needs to be a part of ‘em

Never be enough from the particle sum

I was born to run, I was born for this

something that I’m proud of out of the box an
Em
Epoxy to the world and the vision we’ve lost. I'm an
Am           G

More to see. I’m just a product of the system, a
  Am         G
Catastrophe, and yet a masterpiece, and yet I’m
Em
Half diseased and when I am deceased, at least I
Am              G
Go down to the grave and die happily
