verse
Am E Dm Am
To my loving mom and dad, I’m sorry and I’m to blame
E Dm E
Knees weak and crumbling, thumb pressed and bitten away
Am E Dm Am
To my brother, sister, and the rest, I’ll see you around
Dm E Dm Am
My sole is blackening, I’m breaking all of it down (yeah)
Am E Dm Am
Measure out the size of it, sure, any pattern will do
Dm E Dm Am
Ends justify the seams, it’s all of the same to you
Pre-Chorus
E Dm
I cried “Why can’t I just be loved?” to no one
Am E Dm
Maybe grinding my old scissors I could slice the look my off my face
[Refrão] Dm Am E Am
Send me a sign, some god on high, show me the words I need to know
Dm Am
So say I’m fine and clear my mind
E Dm Am
‘Cause why not? I DON’T KNOW
Dm Am E Am
Facing a new day with a new pain, rocking up and down the night
Dm E Am
Ripping at seams, I beg and plead, just sew me up again
verse
E Dm Am
To the world I say goodbye, and sir I’m wishing you well
E Dm E
Pushing out my chest to see me drool through tiresome hell
bridge
E Am Dm E
What do I spy with fully open eyes?
Am E Dm Am
All that I spy are idiots and lies!
E Am Dm E
What do I spy with fully open eyes?
Am E Dm Am
All that I spy are idiots and lies!
Pre-Chorus
E Dm
Aah, can never get enough of the right stuff
Am E Dm
Needles oversized to pulverize this heart beating out my chest
[Refrão] Dm Am E Am
Send me a sign, some god on high, show me the words I need to know
Dm Am
So say I’m fine and clear my mind
E Dm Am
‘Cause why not? I DON’T KNOW
Dm Am E Am
Facing a new day with a new pain, rocking up and down the night
Dm E Am
Ripping at seams, I beg and plead, just sew me up again
Dm Am E Am
There’s nothing to find, no, nothing to find, I severed everything I had
Dm Am E Dm Am
Sinking alive through waves of twine, dragging me down alone
Dm Am E Am
I’m nowhere to find, no, nowhere to find, threw me aside and left again
Dm E Am
Running away from now a place I’ll never call a home
Dm Am E Am
Am I alive? Aah SHUT UP! More lies falling out this living mask
Dm Am E Dm Am
Give me the endgame, skip the foreplay before I explode
Dm Am
Can I ever change? Can I stay the same?
E Am
Fade away? But save who I am inside!
Dm Em Am
Ripping at seams, I pull the string to finally meet the end
verse
E Dm Am
Days at end, the flames alit with life are starting to loom
Dm E Dm Am
Patch it up without me then, cause anybody will do
