[Verse]

Asus4 D/G

I passed out, I couldn't stay awake

Asus4 D/G

Today's not unlike other days

Asus4 Em9/B F#m

That led me to this place

Gmaj7 Asus4 D/G Asus4 D/G

They all feel the same, the same, the same

Asus4 D/G

I struggle to build memories

Asus4 D/G

And I can't feel what's inside of me

Asus4 Em9/B F#m Gmaj7

Or navigate this space at all

Em A7

But all these thoughts and fears and words that

F#m Bm

Imply I'm not trying

Em A7 G6sus2 Em7

And hyper fixate on my failures, only serve myself

[Chorus]

Bm A6

Caught in the days where the lines bleed together

Between the last scourge and the next failure

Bm A6

Seems every time that I've felt my life changing

It's not good or bad just an altered arrangement

My hopes betray reality

Asus4 D/G

And I can't see what's in front of me

I'm consumed in a grind

With nothing to show for all this time

Bm A6

Always exhausted, asleep in broad daylight

I wish I could sleep for the rest of my life

Bm A6

Too sore to move, awake, but still in bed

Glued to my sheets and trapped in my head

Bm A6

I'm calling it quits, I was fucked from the start

And all of the waiting tore me apart

Bm A6

The endless cycle crushes my heart

Our lives fall to shit, reform and restart

Bm A6

We get up each morning, the past on our shoulders

And live out the same days over and over

Bm A6

We fall into bed, brush the past from our shoulders

And relive the nightmare over and over
