Intro: G C Em
G C Em
I watch these projections of us
G C Em
You're magnetic and I cannot keep up
C G
And I feel as you move in real close
C G
And I feel as your head arose
F
You're a figment
C
I believed it
G C Em :||
G C Em
I depart, your dog died today
G C Em
And you drive all the way here to tell me i'm okay
G C Em
And I left and I didn't say goodbye
G C Em
And I ran all the way home in the gray moonlight
C G
It's dark now but we made it that way
C G
With what we drink and how we think and what we say
F
We degrade ourselves
C
And then expect help
G C Em :||
G C Em
It's morning, we're still in the same place
G C Em
We are diluted, we are the only ones awake
G C Em
And you hold me like you do it everyday
G C Em
I chase a graceful way to erase or to run away
C G
We diverge and I collapse into my bed
C G
And you are shoved awkwardly into my head
F
Wage sleep to sleep in
C
