[Verse]
Ab5                                  E5
No scream no smile no nothing for me its so hot that I cant breathe
Ab5                              E5
Nine stone two and six foot three rats are crawling on my feet
Ab5                                E5
Shrivel to nothing for the company lizards and geckos cover me
Ab5                          E5
Military Police are after me but everybody else seems so happy

[Verse]
Ab5                                   E5
Mini sized apples filled with disease even the water tastes like tea
Ab5                   E5
On a diet of Gaviscon look at me Im fucking gone
Ab5                          E5
A light watch my time today Madonnas fucking on the car again
Ab5                           E5
On the phone ten times a day hiding under the table again

[Verse]
Ab5                                 E5
Breakfast my mouth tastes like piss masturbation theres nothing left
Ab5                     E5
In a daze anorexic haze look outside and join the insane
Ab5                          E5
The bug inside of me wont go egg and chips is all I want
Ab5                        E5
So hungry I can taste home wake up screaming on all fours

[Verse]
Ab5                                E5
Knocking knock knocking on my door my life is a disaster
Ab5                               E5
Giant ice cubes roll on the floor someone help me dear God
Ab5                        E5
Everybody has fixed smiles I am losing my fucking mind
Ab5                       E5
Had enough of being alone give anything to save my soul

[Outro]
Ab5                                E5
I think that I have seen the Devil Satan smiles at me in the mirror
Ab5                                  E5
Revolution in the Golden Palace Four sickly boys are losing resistance
Ab5                      E5
So much porn and alcohol Im so numb to my hormones
Ab5                       E5
But my liberty is winning five years
Abm
later Im still shaking
