[Verse 1]
G C Bm
I’m the fucked up kid in school
Am C
Dead in the eyes of the rules
G C Bm
I got sent home for throwing up
Am C
My friends think being sick is cool
[Verse 2]
G C Bm
And my dad beat up my mom
Am C
'Cause she's an alcoholic
G C Bm
But he's an alcoholic too
Am C
Through the looking glass of abuse
[Chorus]
C
I wanna sleep next to you
Bm Am C
After school, before my mom calls
C
To see when I'm coming home
Bm Am C
I can finally see where the tether ends
Bm Am C
Mortally coiled around nothingness
Bm Am C
Mortally coiled around nothingness
Bm Am C
Mortally coiled around nothingness
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
G C Bm
I'm the fucked up kid in school
Am C
Maybe I'll join the army
G C Bm
No one will ever know me truly
Am C
My rage has silenced a cry for help
[Verse 4]
G C Bm
My mom's dealer put a gun to my head
Am C
For a laugh, for his friends
G C Bm
And in that moment I knew I could kill
Am C
My mother's prison is herself
[Chorus]
C
I wanna sleep next to you
Bm Am C
After school, before my mom calls
C
To see when I'm coming home
Bm Am C
I can finally see where the tether ends
Bm Am C
Mortally coiled around nothingness
Bm Am C
Mortally coiled around nothingness
Bm Am C
Mortally coiled around nothingness
[Outro]
