Verse 1:

F# G  F#   G F#    G    F#  G F#
Is this wrong of me? I've come so far, so fast
  G    F#     G    F#
I'm in the dark about a lot of things
G    F#    D
Seems so real, to me!
F#    G F#
I've consecrated!
   G   F#    G  F#
I wish that I could hate it

I saw my bloody hands come clean, before my eyes!

Chorus 1:

  Bm  G  F#       E       F#
And I hear my wants and needs again, can you help me?
  Bm  G  F#       E       F#
And I hear a different kind again, someone stop me
  Bm  G  F#        E       F#
And I feel the strain inside my mind, am I crazy?
  Bm  G  F#        E       F#
And I need to shed my skin, reveal this monolith within

  G    F#   G       F#
I couldn't have: oh Jesus, I just don't know
 G    F#    D  F# G
What's inside, of me?
F#   G  F#
I've desecrated!
  G   F#   G  F#
My god, I love to hate it!

My hands are bloody again, there's no reason why!
