I want to disappear

Far from the folks I know

I want to get an answer

To why I was even born

No one here can tell me

What's been haunting me all my life

Well this rat race has left me limping

Cause I balanced on the edge of the knife

Why am I here?

Oh what should I do?

A E B7

Well is this the point I'm trying to prove?

If there's a god in my head

Then there's a devil too

How can I tell the difference

When they both claim to be true

Maybe God is God

Maybe the Devil is me

Well I just throw my chains on

And tell myself that I'm free

E B

Chains. Are they really there?

Is this just in my head ?

E B7

Well I'll just stay in bed

Life sure has its meaning

Over years I have postured the sun

Thieves and preachers robbed me

For many hat that I've hung

Now with my heart wide open

I listen to the wind just for a word

Sure, I know it's futile

But that's all I have in this world

To look down from the hill

And howl at the moon

A E B7

All the tears I cried never salted any wounds

E B

Well the earth is so tender and cruel

A E B7

Well if you're not there it's still so beautiful
