[Verse 1]
D
Get drunk to forget that I could jump
D
Sober up and wanna do it twice as much
G
Drink more, but it’s never quite enough
F#aug
Think morbid thoughts to feel more stuck
[Verse 2]
D
Pass out in the morning when the light
D
Floods over the empty void of night
G
And this sickness I can't fight
Bm
Will constantly ruin my life
[Verse 3]
Em
'Til I pass out
Em
On the floor again
G
And feel the air under my feet
G
I’m always falling in my dreams
Em
But they aren’t nightmares
F#
I think they’re omens
G
Of what’s coming for me
G
I see demons in my sleep
D
Then I wake up
[Verse 4]
D
Get high to forget how much it hurts
D
Come down, just to end up feeling worse
G
Six years of therapy reversed
D
By every line in every verse
[Verse 5]
D
Used to write poems just to cope
D
So ironic, now the rope
G
Around my neck’s entwined
G
With every letter, every line
[Verse 6]
Em
My writing
Em
Is getting better
G
But I’m certainly not
G
Put me in the ground to rot
Em
And don’t remember
Em
Please forget me
G
‘cause every memory you keep
G
Will be more pain on you from me
G
Than I can take
