Look into my eyes
And look at the words you say

Blood on your tongue with a crass embrace.

Glass over diamond blue eyes
F#m D E
And it's good enough to make me wanna fall in love

Hear the sound of your voice

To see you throw the first punch now

Such a shame you had to go and run your mouth

Your mouth is what you make it, but at least I've got real friends

Fuck you and your new love for yourself

It don't mean shit.

I've got so much to give, but
F#m D E
I would kill just to feel less invisible
F#m D E F#m
And you've got so much to learn about gravity
D E F#m
So live it up baby, don't look down

Live it up baby, don't look down
F#m D E
And it's good enough to make me wanna fall in love

Now it's your turn to run

This is the breath that will take my life
D E
There's no future but matches and propane.
F#m
And through the mutated words I write.
D E F#m
Kill it fast and never watch it die.

usually do. If I have some chord placement wrong or something, please don't
hesitate to let me know, and I'll fix it asap. :) Thank you!
btw this is my first time doing this, so sorry if it's wrong
