Em C
The rush that's in my veins
I can't control it

Tell me why

This voice that's in my head is getting stronger

Tell me why

My blood ain't spilling red I'm freaking out
Hook:
D B
Feeling for nothing at all
πΈ Chorus:
Em
'Cause I found out dull knives cut better
C
Choke on all my scarlet letters

Needles piercing through my brain

I'm plucking roses but keeping the thorns
