[Verse]
EmThey send me away to find them a fortune
EmA chest filled with diamonds and gold
CThe house was awake with shadows and monsters
CThe hallways, they echoed and groaned
EmI sat alone, in bed till the morning
EmI'm crying "they're coming for me"
CAnd I tried to hold these secrets inside me
CMy mind's like a deadly disease
[Pre-chorus]
I'm bigger than my Embody
I'm colder than this Chome
I'm meaner than my Emdemons
I'm bigger than these B7bones
[Chorus]
EmAnd all the kids cry out "please stop you're B7scaring me"
EmI can't help this awful B7energy
EmGod damn right you should be B7scared of me
CWho is in conB7trol?
[Verse]
EmI paced around, for hours on empty
EmI jumped at the slightest of sounds
CAnd I couldn't stand, the person inside me
CI turned all the mirrors around
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm bigger than my Embody
I'm colder than this Chome
I'm meaner than my Emdemons
I'm bigger than these B7bones
[Chorus]
EmAnd all the kids cried out "please stop you'rB7e scaring me"
EmI can't help this awful B7energy
EmGod damn right you should be B7scared of me
CWho is in B7control?
[Bridge]
 EmI'm well acquainted with villCains that live in my EmbedC  
EmThey beg to write them so Cthey'll never die when EmI'm deadC  
EmAnd I've grown familiar with Cvillains that live in my EmheadC  
EmThey beg to write them so CI'll never die when EmI'm deadC  
[Pre-chorus]
I'm bigger than my Embody
I'm colder than this Chome

[Verse]

They send me away to find them a fortune

A chest filled with diamonds and gold

The house was awake with shadows and monsters

The hallways, they echoed and groaned

I sat alone, in bed till the morning

I'm crying "they're coming for me"

And I tried to hold these secrets inside me

My mind's like a deadly disease

[Pre-chorus]

I'm bigger than my body

I'm colder than this home

I'm meaner than my demons

I'm bigger than these bones
