Like the weather sucks me in and spits me out

Understand I am only as he made me,
Am Dm
a faithful servant to all of the noise,

all of the lights,
C
all the flashing in my head,
Dm
the sound of his mouth,

loud as a crowd,
C G
and you're lucky that you're dead
Dm F
because Clemency is tugging me
C Dm
but I'm sorry that she's weak.

I'm like a wheel.
