[Intro]
C Em
CI wake up fine and dandy but then by the time I find it handy,
To rip my heart apart and start planning my crash landing,
I go up, up, up, up, up to the ceiling,
Then I feel my soul start leaving, like an old man's hair receding,
I'm pleading please, oh please on my knees repeatedly asking,
Why it's got to be like this, is this living free,
I don't want to be the one, be the one who has the son's blood on my hands,
I'll tell the moon, take this weapon forged in darkness,
Some see a pen, I see a harpoon.
C Em
G
GI'll stay aBmwake, 'cause the Amdark's not taking Gprisoners tonight.G Bm Em Am D
GWhy am I not scared in the morning,
I don't hear those voices calling,
EmI must have kicked them out,
AmI must have kicked them out,
GI swear I heard demons yelling,
Those crazy words they were spelling,
EmThey told me I was gone,
AmThey told me I was gone.
But I'll tell them,
GWhy Cwon't you let me Ggo?
EmDo I threaten Gall your Cplans?
I'm Dinsignificant.
Please tell them Gyou Chave no plans for Gme.
DI will set my Gsoul on Cfire, Bmwhat have I beDcome?
I'll tell them!G Em
C Em
COn the eve of a day that's forgotten and fake,
As the trees they await and clouds anticipate,
The start of a day when we put on our face,
A mask that portrays that we don't need grace,
On the eve of a day that is bigger than us,
But we open our eyes 'cause we're told that we must,
And the trees wave their arms and the clouds try to plead,
Desperately yelling there's something we need,
I'm not free, I asked forgiveness three times,
Same amount that I denied, I three-time mvp'ed this crime,
I'm afraid to tell you who I adore, won't tell you what I'm singing towards,
Metaphorically I'm a whore, and that's denial number four.
GI'll stay aBmwake, 'cause the Amdark's not taking Gprisoners tonight.G Bm Em Am D
GWhy am I not scared in the morning,
I don't hear those voices calling,
EmI must have kicked them out,
AmI must have kicked them out,
GI swear I heard demons yelling,
Those crazy words they were spelling,
EmThey told me I was gone,
AmThey told me I was gone.
But I'll tell them,
GWhy Cwon't you let me Ggo?
EmDo I threaten Gall your Cplans?
I'm Dinsignificant.
Please tell them Gyou Chave no plans for Gme.
DI will set my Gsoul on Cfire, Bmwhat have I beDcome?

I'm G#mtaking over my body, F#back in control, no more shotty,
I Ebet a lot of me was lost, 'Bt's uncrossed and 'I's undotted,
G#mI fought it a lot and it F#seems a lot like flesh is all I Egot,
Not any more, Bflesh out the door, swat,
G#mI must've forgot, you F#can't trust me,
I'm Eopen a moment and close when you show it,
BBefore you know it I'm lost at sea,
G#mAnd now that I write and think aF#bout it,
And the story unEfolds,
You should take my lifeB, you should take my soul.

ReG#mmember the moment you know eF#xactly where you're going,
'Cause the Enext moment, before you know it,
BTime is slowing and it's frozen G#mstill,
And the windowsill F#looks really nice, right?
EYou think twice about your life, Bit probably happens at night,
G#mRight? Fight it, F#take the pain, ignite it,
Tie a Enoose around your mind loose enough to Bbreathe fine and tie it,
G#mTo a tree, tell it, "F#You belong to me,
This ain't a Enoose, this is a leash,
And I have Bnews for you, you must obey Eme."

CI - I - I - FI've got a migraine
AmAnd my pain will range from Gup, down and sideways
CThank God it's Friday 'cause FFridays will always
Be Ambetter than Sundays 'cause SunGdays are my suicide days
CI don't know why they Falways seem so dismal
AmThunderstorms, clouds, snow Gand a slight drizzle
CWhether it's the weather or the Fletters by my bed
SomeAmtimes death seems better than the mGigraine in my head
CLet it be said what the Fheadache represents
It's me deAmfending in suspense, it's me suGspended in a defenseless Ctest
Being tested Fby a ruthless examinant
AmThat's represented Gbest by my
CDepresssssing Fthoughts
I do Amnot have writer's block, my Gwriter just hates the clock
CIt will not let me sleep, I guess I'll Fsleep when I'm dead
And someAmtimes death seams better than the Gmigraine in my head
FAm I the Conly one I GknowAm
FWaging my Cwars behind my Gface and above my throat?Am
FShadows will Cscream that I'm Galone
But I Dmknow we've Cmade it this Ffar, kidC F Am
GYeah yeah yeah!

CI am not as fine as I Fseem, pardon
AmMe for yelling, I'm telling you Ggreen gardens
Are Cnot what's growing in my psyFche, it's a different me
A Amdifficult beast feasting Gon burnt down trees
Freeze Cframe please, let me paint a mFental picture portrait
AmSomething you won't forget, it's Gall about my forehead
And Chow it is a door that Fholds back contents
AmThat makes Pandora's Box Gcontents look nonviolent
CBehind my eyelids are Fislands of violence
AmMy mind shipwrecked, this is the Gonly land my mind could
CFind, I did not know it was Fsuch a violent island
AmFull of tidal waves, suiGcidal crazed lions
CThey're trying to eat me, blood Frunning down their chin
And I Amknow that I can fight or I can Glet the lion win
CI begin to assemble what Fweapons I can find
'Cause sAmometimes to stay alive you Ggotta kill your mind
FAm I the Conly one I GknowAm
FWaging my Cwars behind my Gface and above my throat?Am
FShadows will Cscream that I'm Galone
But I Dmknow we've Cmade it this Ffar, kidC F Am
GYeah yeah yeah!

CAnd I will say that we should Ftake a day to break away
From Amall the pain our brain has made, the game Gis not played alone
CAnd I will say that we should Ftake a moment and hold it
And Amkeep it frozen and know that life Ghas a hopeful undertone

F F G Am G
FI ponder of something great
My Flungs will fill and then deGflate
They Amfill with fire
Exhale desire
I Gknow it's dire
FI have these thoughts
So often I Fought
To replace that Gslot
With what I once Ambought
My car radiGo
And now I just sit in silence F
FSometimes Gquiet is violent
I Amfind it hard to hide it
My Gpride is no longer inside
It's Fon my sleeve
ReFminding me of
Who I Gkilled inAmside my dream
I hate this car that GI'm driving
There's no hiding for Fme
I'm forced to deal with what I Ffeel
There is no distraction to Gmask what is Amreal
GI could pull the steering wheel
FI have these thoughts
So often I Fought
To replace that Gslot
With what I once Ambought
'Cause somebody stole
My car radiGo
And now I just sit in Fsilence
F F G Am G
FI ponder of something terrifying
F'Cause this time there's no sound to Ghide behind
AmI find over the course of our human existence
GOne thing consists of consistence
FAnd it's that we're all battling fear
Oh Fdear, I don't know if we know why we're Ghere
AmOh my,
Too deep
Please stop thinking
GI liked it better when my car had sound
FThere are things we can do
But from the Fthings that work there are Gonly two
And Amfrom the two that we choose to do
GPeace will win
And fear will lose
And there's Ffaith and there's sleep
We Fneed to pick one please Gbecause
AmFaith is to be awake
And to be aGwake is for us to think
And for us to Fthink is to be alive
And I will Ftry with every rhyme
To Gcome aAmcross like I am dying
To let you Gknow you need to try to Fthink
FI have these thoughts
So often I Fought
To replace that Gslot
With what I once Ambought
My car radiGo
And now I just sit in silence F
F F G Am G
FI ponder of something great
My Flungs will fill and then deGflate
They fill with Amfire
Exhale desire
I Gknow it's dire
FI have these thoughts
So often I Fought
To replace that Gslot
With what I once Ambought

And now I just sit in silence F

[Intro]
C Em
C
I wake up fine and dandy but then by the time I find it handy,
To rip my heart apart and start planning my crash landing,
I go up, up, up, up, up to the ceiling,
Then I feel my soul start leaving, like an old man's hair receding,
I'm pleading please, oh please on my knees repeatedly asking,
Why it's got to be like this, is this living free,
I don't want to be the one, be the one who has the son's blood on my hands,
I'll tell the moon, take this weapon forged in darkness,
Some see a pen, I see a harpoon.
C Em
G
G Bm Am G G Bm Em Am D
I'll stay awake, 'cause the dark's not taking prisoners tonight.
G
Why am I not scared in the morning,
I don't hear those voices calling,
Em
I must have kicked them out,
Am
I must have kicked them out,
G
I swear I heard demons yelling,
Those crazy words they were spelling,
Em
They told me I was gone,
Am
They told me I was gone.
But I'll tell them,
G C G
Why won't you let me go?
Em G C
Do I threaten all your plans?
D
I'm insignificant.
G C G
Please tell them you have no plans for me.
D G C Bm D
I will set my soul on fire, what have I become?
G Em
I'll tell them!
C Em
C
On the eve of a day that's forgotten and fake,
As the trees they await and clouds anticipate,
The start of a day when we put on our face,
A mask that portrays that we don't need grace,
On the eve of a day that is bigger than us,
But we open our eyes 'cause we're told that we must,
And the trees wave their arms and the clouds try to plead,
Desperately yelling there's something we need,
I'm not free, I asked forgiveness three times,
Same amount that I denied, I three-time mvp'ed this crime,
I'm afraid to tell you who I adore, won't tell you what I'm singing towards,
Metaphorically I'm a whore, and that's denial number four.

I'm taking over my body, back in control, no more shotty,
E B
I bet a lot of me was lost, 't's uncrossed and 'I's undotted,
G#m F# E
I fought it a lot and it seems a lot like flesh is all I got,
B
Not any more, flesh out the door, swat,
G#m F#
I must've forgot, you can't trust me,
E
I'm open a moment and close when you show it,
B
Before you know it I'm lost at sea,
G#m F#
And now that I write and think about it,
E
And the story unfolds,

You should take my life, you should take my soul.
G#m F# E B

You are surrounding all my surroundings,

Remember the moment you know exactly where you're going,
E
'Cause the next moment, before you know it,
B G#m
Time is slowing and it's frozen still,
F#
And the windowsill looks really nice, right?
E B
You think twice about your life, it probably happens at night,
G#m F#
Right? Fight it, take the pain, ignite it,
E B
Tie a noose around your mind loose enough to breathe fine and tie it,
G#m F#
To a tree, tell it, "You belong to me,
E
This ain't a noose, this is a leash,
B E
And I have news for you, you must obey me."

Am I the only one I know

Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?
F C G F E
Shadows will scream that I'm alone-lone-lone
C F Am G
C F
I - I - I - I've got a migraine
Am G
And my pain will range from up, down and sideways
C F
Thank God it's Friday 'cause Fridays will always
Am G
Be better than Sundays 'cause Sundays are my suicide days
C F
I don't know why they always seem so dismal
Am G
Thunderstorms, clouds, snow and a slight drizzle
C F
Whether it's the weather or the letters by my bed
Am G
Sometimes death seems better than the migraine in my head
C F
Let it be said what the headache represents
Am G C
It's me defending in suspense, it's me suspended in a defenseless test
F
Being tested by a ruthless examinant
Am G
That's represented best by my
C F
Depresssssing thoughts
Am G
I do not have writer's block, my writer just hates the clock
C F
It will not let me sleep, I guess I'll sleep when I'm dead

C F
I am not as fine as I seem, pardon
Am G
Me for yelling, I'm telling you green gardens
C F
Are not what's growing in my psyche, it's a different me
Am G
A difficult beast feasting on burnt down trees
C F
Freeze frame please, let me paint a mental picture portrait
Am G
Something you won't forget, it's all about my forehead
C F
And how it is a door that holds back contents
Am G
That makes Pandora's Box contents look nonviolent
C F
Behind my eyelids are islands of violence
Am G
My mind shipwrecked, this is the only land my mind could
C F
Find, I did not know it was such a violent island
Am G
Full of tidal waves, suicidal crazed lions
C F
They're trying to eat me, blood running down their chin
Am G
And I know that I can fight or I can let the lion win
C F
I begin to assemble what weapons I can find
Am G
'Cause sometimes to stay alive you gotta kill your mind
F C G Am
Am I the only one I know
F C G Am
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?
F C G
Shadows will scream that I'm alone
Dm C F C F Am
But I know we've made it this far, kid
G
Yeah yeah yeah!
C F Am G
C F
And I will say that we should take a day to break away
Am G
From all the pain our brain has made, the game is not played alone
C F
And I will say that we should take a moment and hold it
Am G
And keep it frozen and know that life has a hopeful undertone
C F
And I will say that we should take a day to break away
Am G
From all the pain our brain has made, the game is not played alone
C F
And I will say that we should take a moment and hold it
Am G
And keep it frozen and know that life has a hopeful undertone

F F G Am G
F
I ponder of something great
F G
My lungs will fill and then deflate
Am
They fill with fire
Exhale desire
G
I know it's dire
F
I have these thoughts
F
So often I ought
G
To replace that slot
Am
With what I once bought
G
My car radio
F
And now I just sit in silence
F G
Sometimes quiet is violent
Am
I find it hard to hide it
G
My pride is no longer inside
F
It's on my sleeve
F
Reminding me of
G Am
Who I killed inside my dream
G
I hate this car that I'm driving
F
There's no hiding for me
F
I'm forced to deal with what I feel
G Am
There is no distraction to mask what is real
G
I could pull the steering wheel
F
I have these thoughts
F
So often I ought
G
To replace that slot
Am
With what I once bought
'Cause somebody stole
G
My car radio
F
And now I just sit in silence
F F G Am G
F
I ponder of something terrifying
F G
'Cause this time there's no sound to hide behind
Am
I find over the course of our human existence
G
One thing consists of consistence
F
And it's that we're all battling fear
F G
Oh dear, I don't know if we know why we're here
Am
Oh my,
Too deep
Please stop thinking
G
I liked it better when my car had sound
F
There are things we can do
F G
But from the things that work there are only two
Am
And from the two that we choose to do
G
Peace will win
And fear will lose
F
And there's faith and there's sleep
F G
We need to pick one please because
Am
Faith is to be awake
G
And to be awake is for us to think
F
And for us to think is to be alive
F
And I will try with every rhyme
G Am
To come across like I am dying
G F
To let you know you need to try to think
F
I have these thoughts
F
So often I ought
G
To replace that slot

With what I once bought

F# C# D#m B
I want to drive away
F# C# D#m B
In the night, headlights call my name
B D#m
I, I'll never be, be what you see inside
F# B
You say I'm not alone, but I am petrified
B D#m
You say that you are close, is close the closest star?
F# B F#
You just feel twice as far, you just feel twice as far
F# D#m
And I'll fall
B
And I'll break
C#
And I'll fake
F#
All I wanna
D#m
And I'll fall down

And I'll break down
C#
And I'll fake you out
F#
All I wanna
F# D#m F# B
B
I'm so afraid
D#m
Of what you have to say
F#
Cause I am quiet now
B
And silence gives you space

F#
All I wanna
B D#m
It's the same game today as it always is
F
I don't give you space to speak my name explaining this
B
And the wrists of my mind have the bleeding lines
N.C
That remind me of all the times...
B
I have committed
D#m
Dirty dirty crimes that are perfectly form-fitted
F#
To what I've done and what I'm doing
I'm brewing and losing and spewing and fusing
B
N.C.
And believe me, that's what all the kids are doing
B
What kids are doing, they're killing themselves
D#m
They feel they have no control of their prisoner cell
F# B
And if you're one of them then you're one of me
N.C.
And you would do almost anything just to feel free...
B
Am I right? Of course I am
D#m
Convince me otherwise would take all night
F#
Before you walk away, there's one more thing I want to say
B
Our brains are sick but that's okay
F# D#m B C#

And I'll fall

D#m B F# C#
F# C#
I know what you think in the morning, when the sun shines on the ground,
D#m B F# C#
And shows what you have done, it shows where your mind has gone.
F# C#
And you swear to your parents, that it will never happen again,
D#m B F# C#
I know, I know, what that means, I know.
B F# C#
That you all have guns, and you never put the safety on.
G#m F# C#
And you all have plans, to take it, to take it, don't take it, take it, take it.
F# C# D#m
I'm trying, I'm trying to sleep. I'm trying, I'm trying to sleep.
B F# C#
But I can't, but I can't, when you all have guns for hands.
F# C# D#m
I'm trying, I'm trying to sleep. I'm trying, I'm trying to sleep.
B F# C#
But I can't, but I can't, when you all have guns for hands.
F# C#
Let's take this a second at a time. Let's take this one song, this one rhyme.
D#m B F# C#
Together, let's breathe. Together, to the beat.
F# C#
But there's hope out the window, so that's where we'll go.
D#m B F# C#
Let's go outside and all join hands but until then you'll never understand.
B F# C#
That you all have guns, and you never put the safety on.
G#m F# C#
And you all have plans, to take it, to take it, don't take it, take it, take it.
F# C# D#m
I'm trying, I'm trying to sleep. I'm trying, I'm trying to sleep.
B F# C#
But I can't, but I can't, when you all have guns for hands.
D#m B F# C#
D#m
We've turned our hands to guns, tradin' our thumbs for ammunition
B
I must forewarn you of my disorder, or my condition.
F# C#
'Cause when the sun sets, it upsets what's left of my invested interest,
Interested in putting my fingers to my head.
D#m
The solution is, I see a whole room of these mutant kids,
B
Fused at the wrist, I simply tell them they should shoot at this.
F#
Simply suggest my chest and this confused music, it's
C#
Obviously best for them to turn their guns to a fist.
F# F# C# C#
D#m B F# C#
F# C# D#m
I'm trying, I'm trying to sleep. I'm trying, I'm trying to sleep.

I'm trying, I'm trying to sleep. I'm trying, I'm trying to sleep.

Why won't you speak where I happen to be?
B F#
Silent in the trees, standing cowardly
F# B D#m F# C# D#m
I can feel your breath, I can feel my death

I want to know you, I want to see, I want to say, "Hello, hello"
