Em D G
Em D G C D
Em D G
I've been captured by a horrible demon
Em D G
who has chewed up my kidneys and spit out the pieces,
Em D G
who would like to make clear the distance between us.
C
Though I will not let him out for a moment
Em D G
But never for those who are destined for sadness
Em D G
who tear out their clothes and drift towards the madness,
Em D G
who lives in our souls deep under the satins,
C
that burst through all of that bullshit than "marry me"
Em D G
'Cause I fell in love with the sense of impermanence
Em D G
That fits like a glove, so sacred in all of us
Em D G
with all we're made up, we walked spiraled through darkness
C
Now it's a part of some life we created
Am
Until slowly and surely, we'll decay back to matter
G
Watching a life that sinks sadder and fill it
D
Existence so beautiful, place now behind us
Em D G
I've fell in love with a horrible demon
Em D G
who has chewed up my kidneys and spit out the pieces,
Em D G
who would like to make clear the distance between us.
C G
Though I will not let him out for a moment
