🎸 Intro:

Am C F C Em x2



🎸 Verse :

Am           C
Thought cycle gusty, a mind filled
with hot air.
   F
Must I care for nothing more than
 C     Em
myself? Do I dare
     Am
admit the fraught thoughts cavorting?
      C
Resorting in inner—directed mourning
    F
for the part of me that was selfless
  C       Em
but left without a warning.
  Am
Well that’s what I said, but maybe
     C
it’s the fact that I detest
  F
this obsession with myself that leaves
 C       Em
a mess inside my head.
      Am
Oh shit
I’m doing it again, repelling
 C
any potential friend
F          C
revealing my innate ability to never
      Em
fully comprehend
Am
anything bigger than myself, but in
  C
the end I still pretend
   F
Condescending anyone polite enough to
       C     Em
choose to misspend their time
Am              C
watching me as I achieve my secret
social mission.
  F              C
To drain people with my boring stories
     Em
and opinions.
 Am
To see the bigger picture takes
C
intelligence and wisdom
F
but I won’t see nothing with just
 C     Em
myself in my vision.

🎸 Chorus:

Am C F C x2

Riff:

Am C F C Em x2



🎸 Verse :

    Am
I go outside, a blitz of faces
  C
unwilling to confess to any
F
empathy
C      Em
endlessly incessantly declining any
pleasantries.
Am             C
Heavily breathing, socially teething.
          F
I’m open like a vivisection.
           C
Intense tendency to dwell, seething
Em
over missed connections.
Am        C
Infected by my perceptions that I’m a
non—entity
F              C
project my insecurity until intensity
 Em
is weaponry.
Am
Grieving a heavenly fiction I
  C
perceived whilst I was
dreaming.
 F
Awake! Freezing, wheezing
C           Em
fundamentally I’m still
believing that
Am
this is an elegy for concepts I
C
conceived in deep sleep
F
an’ I helplessly watch them fade while
  C        Em
I awake
I try and keep them alive.
Am        C
Incomparable with life but eventually
they die
    F
and the brain I used to cultivate
 C        Em
reveals my lovers were a lie.

🎸 Chorus:

Am C F C x2

Riff:

Am C F C Em x2



🎸 Verse :

Am              C
When inside my mind I find a way to
replicate reality.
F                 C
Through lucid dreaming I decimate the
       Em
limitations of actuality.
Am           C
Capacity practically eternal
F
mortality external
C
no god but I investigate the
           Em
blasphemous worship of the
nocturnal.
Am                C
Internally existing without morality
               F
creates profanity without the
travesty
               C
and compared to the apathy of realness
  Em       Am
I reveal my own insanity.
        C
The majesty of fantasy protects me
   F
from tragedy.
           C
Normality’s effects reject the agony
  Em
of rationality
  Am
but thankfully penetrates with no
C
avail to my unreality
F
an elaborately designed privately
C       Em
owned spiral galaxy.
Am            C
Financially I’m failing, naturally
decaying.
F                 C
Soon I’ll have no place safe to sleep
        Em
if these bills still need paying
Am               C
displaying cravings with open eyes for
something mind expanding
  F
for when I drift away I see the
 C        Em
totality of understanding.
