 APause at the park where you lift up your hands and beg me for forgiveness 
 AThe icy chains that bind us into coinciding forces might begin to bend 
 AAnd in that moment when the earth shuts down and all I see is you 
 Oh and Fin the truth in between your eyes I'll jGustify the abuse 
 But wAe'll keep out face and we'll both pretend that we're awake 
 We'll hAide the pain in static smiles we cant escape 
 DThis is harder than I thought it would bEe 
 Oh it would bAe 
 AI fought it when you lost the goal 
 DTry to turn it to something logical 
 GWe're hiding behind our pageant and its tAime to stop the show 
 AYou took me for granted everyday 
 DI tried to give you my heart but I got pain 
 GRead lyrics that sideways truce while we bAeat around the bus
 AYou throw me to the edge each time you get confused 
 AThen I mask my skin when I tell you nothings bruised 
 AThe image is breaking all the pieces fall 
 And Fin its place I can't feel it at Gall 
 ACome prove me wrong, come and show me what we've earned so long
 AIt's bigger and its strong and it's fighting through the fog 
 DThis is harder this is murder and its making me waEin

Intro:

Pause at the park where you lift up your hands and beg me for forgiveness

The icy chains that bind us into coinciding forces might begin to bend

And in that moment when the earth shuts down and all I see is you

F G

Oh and in the truth in between your eyes I'll justify the abuse

But we'll keep out face and we'll both pretend that we're awake

We'll hide the pain in static smiles we cant escape

D E

This is harder than I thought it would be

Oh it would be

I fought it when you lost the goal

Try to turn it to something logical

G A

We're hiding behind our pageant and its time to stop the show

You took me for granted everyday

I tried to give you my heart but I got pain

G A

Read lyrics that sideways truce while we beat around the bus

You throw me to the edge each time you get confused

Then I mask my skin when I tell you nothings bruised

The image is breaking all the pieces fall

F G

And in its place I can't feel it at all

Come prove me wrong, come and show me what we've earned so long

It's bigger and its strong and it's fighting through the fog

D E

This is harder this is murder and its making me wain

Come take the rain

I fought it when you lost the goal

Try to turn it to something logical

G A

We're hiding behind our pageant and its time to stop the show

You took me for granted everyday

I tried to give you my heart but I got pain

G A

Read lyrics that sideways truce while we beat around the bus

Somethings going down the drain I start feeling like I'm going insane

Somethings going down the drain, down the drain, out of my brain

Somethings going down the drain I start feeling like I'm going insane

Somethings going down the drain, down the drain, out of my brain

Somethings going down the drain I start feeling like I'm going insane

Somethings going down the drain, down the drain, out of my brain

Somethings going down the drain I start feeling like I'm going insane

Somethings going down the drain, down the drain, out of my brain

I fought it when you lost the goal

Try to turn it to something logical

A G

We're hiding behind our pageant and its time to stop the show

You took me for granted everyday

I tried to give you my heart but I got pain

A G

Read lyrics that sideways truce while we beat around the bus

A G A G

So burn it up

I wont fall to my knees

You wont lie to me

Make this easy darling, easy

So burn it up

Come and beg at my door

Be here when I'm eating roast

G A G A G

Drown me in your comfort
