[Verse 1]
G#m C#sus2
Stinger in my skin again
G#m C#sus2
The venom flowing out like river
G#m C#sus2 G#m
Run across the lawn seeking the antidote
C#sus2
Why won’t you give it?
G#m C#sus2
Tears pour out my eyes
G#m C#sus2
and you compared their size to crocodilians
G#m C#sus2
Heaven knows what happened next
G#m C#sus2
A little isolated vision

[Verse 2]
G#m C#sus2
Voices from the past instruct
G#m C#sus2
