[Intro]

B A E

[Verse 1]

Your mind is racing

The sky took hold

Of all my little daily fears

They never seem to go

A dusty vista

You hunger for the cold

I never meant to take it so far

A mirror never shows

[Chorus]

Who I am beneath the surface

Em D

Hiding out so long inside my mind

Every day I stay blind to it

Habit comes and tears me open wide

All the time

[Instrumental]

B A E

[Verse 2]

Your heart is racing

The time just froze

And left me with little doubt

That there's anywhere to go

I'm pushing forward

To leave this home

I never meant to stay so long

My reflection never shows

[Chorus]

Who I am beneath the surface

Em D

Hiding out so long inside my mind

Every day I stay blind to it

Habit comes and tears me open wide

All the time

[Outro]

C G F# Bm

Since I was a young boy it was always there

C G F# Bm

Inside me growing none of it seems fair

C G F# Bm

I've grown to accept it, let it take the stage

C G F# Bm

And leave me helpless, watching far away

C G F# Bm

Since I was a young boy it was always there

C G F# Bm

Inside me growing none of it seems fair

C G F# Bm

I've grown to accept it, let it take the stage

C G F# Bm

And leave me helpless, watching far away

[Outro Instrumental]

C Am
