[Verse 1]
E A B
Out with the bitterness now
E A B
I'm trying to train myself to feel indifferent, wow
E
Bliss I feel from floating inside my ignorance
A
Call me a hypocrite
B E
But hiding from the pain I cause myself will make me happy, oblivious
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m A B
My skeletons won't hurt me from the bedroom closet
If life is like a movie, then I'm waiting for the plot twist
C#m A B
Following what moves me and procrastinating progress
E
Signing up for loneliness that holds me like a
[Chorus]
NC E
Hostage, I'm tied up
B
Short on what I need for the ransom, now
C#m
Waiting on bad luck
A
To pull apart the person I've made up
E
Who am I? That's for you to decide
B
Always do or die but, at the end of the night
C#m
I'm a hostage who's had enough
A NC
Of living in this world that I made up

E A
On with the pace of it
B
Any distraction I can fathom to keep away from this

Impending disaster, I'll move faster than even Usain did

Sprinting circles 'round this topic of conversation
Losing my patience
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m A B
My skeletons won't hurt me from the bedroom closet
If life is like a movie, then I'm waiting for the plot twist
C#m A B
Following what moves me and procrastinating progress

Signing up for loneliness that holds me like a

Hostage, I'm tied up
