Intro: Am C
Am C
A room filled up with faces and the air so thick I taste it
Am C
Locking lips like they all wasted, tangled hips like it's a spaceship
Am C
Heavy heads are racing down the hallways to the basement
Am C Am
Where the darkness fills the space and they can feel themselves erasing
C
Can you feel yourself erasing?
Am C
They're bursting at the corners as the ceiling's getting shorter
Am C
And I'm stuck between a talker and a VHS recorder
Am C Am
The heat seeps through the border as our ice melts down to water
C
Can you feel it getting smaller?
Am C
I need to be solo
Em F
Freedom in the mono
Am C
Find a space and let go
Em F
I need to be solo, solo
Am C
Now I'm breathing in and I'm breathing out
Em F
Breathing in and I'm breathing out
Am C
I'm breathing in and I'm breathing out
Em F
Breathing in and I'm breathing out
Am C
Their mouths are dripping dryer as their souls are slipping higher
Am C
It's like treading on a wire laced with kerosene and fire
Am C
The night will soon expire as their bodies soon retire
Am C
Limbs entangled in kaleidoscopes of prima donna choirs
Am C
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
Am C
I need to be solo
Em F
Freedom in the mono
Am C
Find a space and let go
Em F
I need to be solo, solo
Am C
Now I'm breathing in and I'm breathing out
Em F
Breathing in and I'm breathing out
Am C
I'm breathing in and I'm breathing out
Em F
Breathing in and I'm breathing out
Am C
I need to be solo
Breathing in and I'm breathing out
Am C
Freedom in the lie low
Breathing in and I'm breathing out
Am C
Find a space and let go
Breathing in and I'm breathing out
Am C
I need to be solo... solo
Breathing in and I'm breathing out
Am C
I need to be solo
Breathing in and I'm breathing out
Am C
Freedom in the lie low
Breathing in and I'm breathing out
Am C
Find a space and let go
Breathing in and I'm breathing out
Am C
I need to be solo
Breathing in and I'm breathing out
