[Intro]
Dm G C F
[Verse 1]
Dm G
I'm not into losing control
C F
I lie beneath the choas and let the movement stir in my soul
Dm G
The imagery, alive beneath the night
C F
For good shows in the artificial lights
Dm G
I just about figured how to die
C F
Just for fun, I held a blade up to my thigh
Dm G
Why's human so twisted?
C F
But I do feel like I've been here before
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
And I do
G C
Grip my arms and I do
F Dm
Grip my sides and I do
G C F
Need to hold myself together, As if I wouldn't make it through the night
[Chorus]
Dm G C F
Why don't you run like you did when you were younger?
Dm G
I have this image in my head
C F
I have this image in my head of what I think I am
[Instrumental]
Dm G C F x2
[Verse 2]
Dm G
An honest hill comes spillin through
C F
I'm not sure if he's listening, but I'm talking to you
Dm G C F
And in his head, I'm sure he knows what swells up in my chest always comes up in my
throat
Dm G
Well I, I have been here before
C F
Falling over, move some pressure around
Dm G C F
So flip her or fold her, just don't let her stay there on the ground
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
And I do
G C
Grip my arms and I do
F Dm
Grip my sides and I do
G C F
Need to hold myself together, As if I wouldn't make it through the night
[Chorus]
Dm G C F
Why don't you run like you did when you were younger?
Dm G
I have this image in my head
C F
I have this image in my head I can run fast enough
[Instrumental]
