[Shotty Horroh]
BmI don't know nothing about the service Dthe clergy do in the churches
EmI never read the book though I knew the pages were turning
BmI tried to sing the hymns but I couldnD't think of the verses
EmTried to confess my sins, but I didn't know how to word it
BmBut this is my sermon fest that I'm emDotionally drained
EmSelf-medicating hoping I can cope with the pain
BmI need a face cause that'll fix whatevDer's broke in my brain
EmWho am I kidding, no I'm going insane
I wrote some quotes on this paBmge, just trying to reach you in a Dhope you were late
Well EmI'll probably just throw them away
Cause I don't know what to sBmay
I feel weak when I'm Dsupposed to be brave
I sEmeem free but I'm enclosed in a cage
Though I continue to ponder Bmover the plastic
And I ain't Dgonna do any better
Do EmI whimper from the future, and buckle under the pressure
I Bmknew I stepped to the plate, and gon' Dtake the chance with my life
Come Emface to face with the darkness so I can stand in the light like
