Verse 1:
A minorAm
Slippin' through my fingertips (Ayy), lingerin'
C majorC
Shoulda, woulda, coulda, where'd I put the pen? (Woah)
Fmaj7Fmaj7
Make a list of all my failed attempts
Runnin' out of space again
A minorAm
Highlight all the things I wish I never said (Stop)
If feeling makes you stronger, I'm the weakest
C majorC
That would mean I would have to separate from my beliefs
Fmaj7Fmaj7
It's not a secret, I'm a puzzle, got a lot of missin' pieces
Fmaj7Fmaj7
Underneath this strong persona I put on's a kid that's screamin'
A minorAm
Aren't these waters so deceivin'? (So dеceivin')
They look differеnt, don't they?
C majorC
Well, at least that's how they seem to me
Fmaj7Fmaj7
'Cause we just drift and drift and drift
Until we see something that we define as peaceful
Grab the needle, shoot reminders in my veins
A minorAm
That people leave you while I'm driftin'

Verse 2:
A minorAm
Lots of gossip, I've been watchin' you
C majorC
How you're talkin' to yourself is rude
Fmaj7Fmaj7
Driftin' I'm in the same boat as you
Fmaj7Fmaj7
Sinkin', dreamin', screamin' for some truth
A minorAm
And (My, my) escalator's broke, I'll take the stairs, I guess
C majorC
Climb until I'm outta breath
Fmaj7Fmaj7
Questioning my every step (Woah)
My train of thought is leading me to different tracks
Fmaj7Fmaj7 E MajorE A minorAm
Positive that where I'm at is not where I should stay and that's (Why)
Told you look into the mirror and say, "I love you"
C majorC
Convince yourself that no one in the world would ever want to
Fmaj7Fmaj7
Passin' by the people that have been there to support you
Fmaj7Fmaj7
From the get-go, disrespectful, drive you mental
A minorAm
Might get stressful when I'm driftin'
I see you in the distance
C majorC
Askin' me why I'm so distant, I'm convicted
Fmaj7Fmaj7
I'm convinced that I predict that all my wishes on my wish list won't be heard
Fmaj7Fmaj7
'Cause I'm committed to the lie that feeling safe is unrealistic
A minorAm
When I'm driftin'

| A minorAm | C majorC | Fmaj7Fmaj7 | Fmaj7Fmaj7 |
Outro:
A minorAm
Ignorant to my ignorance
Tell me I'm worth it, God
C majorC
Give me the faith to rise and help me diversify
Fmaj7Fmaj7
To take a step forward, immersed in my belligerence, amplified
The feelings and words collide
Fmaj7Fmaj7
Intensified by living a life deprived
I'd rather be burned alive
A minorAm
Than go back to thinkin' I'm insignificant (Insignificant)
C majorC
Every impotent moment debated can trigger it
God is my witness definitive
Fmaj7Fmaj7
Holdin' my head up, there isn't an innocent bone in my body
But that's what gives me the energy lacked
Fmaj7Fmaj7
To renovate, have to innovate, past intimidates
N.C.
Can't remain afraid
