Play ^ a few times then do the chorus riff
Ok, Figure out the way the song goes yourself.
Lyrics
Carve your rights into your arm
So they wont get taken away
Trying in vain to figure it out
Always thinking this is a waste
Build it up high
The further the fall
Right down on you
Wasting away
Suffer more, Suffer still
Found release locked away
No values anymore?
Nowhere to turn, Wasted Away!
Build it up high
The further the fall
Right down on you
wasting away
