[Intro]
Fm
Did you think I'd ever leave?
Fm
Did you think that you would just fall to complacency?
Fm C7 Fm
Did you think that you ever held any agency?
Fm C7 Fm
Did you think that I would fall so gracelessly?
 
[Verse 1]
Fm
My mind's playing tricks on me
Fm
It keeps on showing me the things that I could've been
C7 Fm
Like someone who adores duality. (Do you hear me?)
C7 AbM7 Fm
Instead I just sit and practice apathy
Fm
My mind's playing tricks on me
Fm
Bringing into question the definition of sanity
C7 Fm
And what really constitutes as agony. (Do you fear me?)
C7 Ab AbM7 Fm
My coping mechanisms keep on failing me
 
[Chorus]
Bbm Db Fm
I've kept myself at bay for so damn long. (You're not strong)
Bbm Db Fm
So now I think it's time for the devil's song
 
Fm
 
[Verse 2]
Fm
I remember one short line
Fm
It went: "one will turn to two, will turn to five."
Fm
It seems I always knew that they would multiply. (JUST DIE)
Fm Ab C7
So why do I insist on keeping up these lies?
 
Fm
Yeah don't put your trust in me
Fm
And don't confuse my blinding weakness for gallantry
Fm C7 Fm
The truth is everything I do is cowardly. (YOU WILL BLEED)
C7 Ab C7 Fm
Stuck behind a thin veneer of neutrality
 
[Chorus]
Bbm Db C7 Fm
Why do I lock myself inside my mind. (WITHOUT PRIDE)
Bbm F7 Db C7 Fm
When that's exactly where these bad thoughts hide? (JUST DIE)
Bbm F7 Db Fm
Why do I keep on lying, when deep down I know that this isn't right?
Bbm F7 Db C7 Fm
A good devil masquerades out in the light
 
C7
 
[Bridge]
DbM7
Please, cease
DbM7
This feeling
DbM7
Disease
DbM7 Fm
This agony
Fm
Feels
Fm
So clearly, please
Fm DbM7
Don't fear me, please
Db
It's stinging
Fm
Please, it's killing me
Fm
Reach
Fm
Dry heaving, creeps
 
[Outro]
DbM7
Sincerely
Db
I wish I could forget all about it
DbM7
But I know that the evil inside's what's keeping me grounded
Fm
It's killing me to know that my heart is in two
Fm
But my anger won't subside if I keep pretending I hate you
 
DbM7
My mind won't heal if you're not real
DbM7
This pain I feel can't be concealed
DbM7 Fm
The truth in me will be revealed
 
Fm7
And so, I yield
