[Verso 1]
Am F
My souls still restless harnessed tight,
C G
I keep it chained up most every night.
Dm Bdim
In tune, my body in tune, my mind,
E Am
If I could only teach my heart to be kind.
[Refrão]
C G
Controlled bleeding, organized chaos,
Am F
Feelings drip slow, like morning frost.
Dm Am
Squeeze em out gentle, like paint from a tube
E Am
Its the only survival skill I ever knew.
[Verso 2]
Am F
Some things cut deep, gotta hide them away.
C G
Too much to be felt in a single day.
Dm Bdim
So I take my pain, in slices like bread,
E E
Meal-prepped sorrow til the day Im dead.
[Refrão]
C G
Controlled bleeding, organized chaos,
Am F
Feelings drip slow, like morning frost.
Dm Am
Squeeze em out gentle, like paint from a tube
E Am
Its the only survival skill I ever knew.

The blood of creation stains every line.

Controlled bleeding, organized chaos,

Squeeze em out gentle, like paint from a tube
E Am
Its the only survival skill I ever knew.
