D
[Verse 1]
D
I love it when the party gets crowded
Em G
But at times I need to crochet my mouth shut
D
I love it when I wake up to silence
Em G
Not the part of the film with all the jump cuts
D
Or when the light on the bus refracts through the window
Em G
Renders the whole scene just that little bit off
D
I watch as the waves push through my eyeline
Em G
Be it lasers, sunrise, or from your iris
[Pre-Chorus]
D Em G
No sleep, no surprise, no wants no thoughts in my mind
D Em G
No sleep, no surprise, no wants no thoughts in my mind
D Em G
No sleep, no surprise, no wants no thoughts in my mind
[Chorus]
D
Apathy is boring
Em G
Sadness is so last year
D
I want to feel alive
Em G
Carve out my bones with a synthesizer
D
[Verse 2]
D
Nothing feels the same as yesterday
Em G
Not my feet on the ground, not the blood in my mouth
D
I'm gonna win the fight against entropy
Em G
I wanna feel it all, I wanna feel it now
D
I need a skyline where the city is lucid
Em G
And bleeding color through the gaps in my blinds
D
And I can bandage up that distant horizon
Em G
With nothing more than just a needle and twine
[Chorus]
D
Apathy is boring
Em G
Sadness is so last year
D
I want to feel alive
Em G
Carve out my bones with a synthesizer
[Bridge]
G A
We shall have everything we want
Em D
And there will be no more dying
G A
Under my t-shirt resides a magpie
Em D
They're teaching me how to stay shining
[Chorus]
G
Apathy is boring
A
Sadness is so last year
Em
I want to feel alive
D N.C.
Carve out my bones with a synthesizer

Apathy is boring
Em G
Sadness is so last year
D
I want to feel alive
Em G
Carve out my bones with a synthesizer

Apathy is boring
Em G
Sadness is so last year
D
I want to feel alive
Em N.C.
Carve out my bones with a synthesizer
