Bb C G Am

My face blew up at such a casual sight

Bb C G Am

The smattered colors of ecstatic fright

Bb C G Am

The rush above me to oblivion

Bb C G Am

Outlining wet sidewalks with halogen

Bb C G Am

Oh have you ever felt so goddamned strong?

Bb C G Am

How come it takes some people so damn long

Bb C G Am

He turned to squeeze the lemon juice to rain

Bb C G Am

The citrus drawing out the scene it stains

[Pre-Chorus]

Watch the basin drain

As your life lines wane

And you cant explain

As your friends complain

You've caused all this pain

And you proudly shame

Your whole family's name

Mother I can tell what you've been thinking

staring at the stars on your ceiling

Thinking once there was a power that you were wielding

And now I've hit the mark

Stabbing at the dark

And I cannot help but ignore the people staring at my scars

[Chorus]

Let this be our little secret

C Dm

No one needs to know we're feeling
