[Intro]
G   C/G   Em   D
[Verse 1]
I creaGted those around me
Though, I C/Gdon't know which is worse
'Cause playing Emgod is funny 'til you have to Dchoose who's dying first
I beGcame the thing I feared, taking C/Gtheir lives in my hand
My innoEmcence had consequences that I Dstill don't understand
I was Gtold that I was vital in the C/Gplan to save my life
So I Empromised mine in hopes I'd be the Done holding the knife
Our Gbodies were the vehicle, transC/Gporters of the soul
I was Emyoung and bold and stupid in a Dsix-foot self-dug hole
[Pre-Chorus]
Was C/GI the only one to question Ganything they said?
I Dtake it back, I'll follow 'til I fly or 'til I'm dead
[Chorus]
My imC/Gmortal evolutionary Gtraits are still intact
I am Dunapologetic for the Emsympathy I lacked
I C/Gleft my body back in CaliGfornia 'cause I'm weak
OverDdosed on phenobarbital, It's Empart of my mystique
[Verse 2]
So in 'G97, I gave up my C/Gfuture
I'd been raised to Emreject my human nature
In the Dhopes that I'd be praised
I thought GSOS meant "save our souls"
InC/Gstead, it meant jack shit
'Cause noEmbody came to help me when I Dtold myself I'd quit
I Gtrusted blindly, was it wrong for C/Gme to latch on tight?
'Cause I Emdidn't realize nettles stung and Dapples weren't all white
GIgnorance is bliss or maybe C/Gignorance is bait
'Cause I Emdidn't deserve heaven, but I'm Dstanding at its gate
[Pre-Chorus]
Was C/GI the only one to question Ganything they said?
I Dtake it back, I'll follow 'til I fly or 'til I'm dead
[Chorus]
My imC/Gmortal evolutionary Gtraits are still intact
I am Dunapologetic for the Emempathy I lacked
I left my C/Gbody back in Cali, I'm not Gbothered to return
The taste of Dapple sauce and vodka aEmren't my main concerns
[Interlude]
C/G   G   D
Em(aren't my main concerns)
[Bridge]
C/GGiving up is easy when the deGfault's to survive
'Cause a Dbetter life will only cost three Emquarters and a five
I'll C/Gmeet you in the promised paraGdise we often preach
So I'd Dhope for liberation, but that B7isn't what we teach
[Chorus]
My imC/Gmortal evolutionary Gtraits are still intact
I am Dunapologetic for the Emapathy I lacked
I C/Gleft my body back in San DiGego, Santa Fe
They could Dtell me fucking nonsense with the Emknowledge I'd obey
