Em
Watch me, I'm kicking the wall
I'll break through it before I go
And leave a hole my shape in everything you know
Em
Death comes last to the party
Meanwhile I'm biding my time
        E
So you can't take your own life
That's cutting in line
D             Am   G
Fear not the big drag
D                                  Em
It's not that you're going to be lost
               G
It's just less likely that you'll be found
                    D    A   G
Find someone to worship now
D                    Am
The rest is silence, other, outside
G
Below, beneath, and how -
      D
And petition against your imagination
     G
You don't know shit about me
      D
Focus on the return to yourself
And the choices you make
                                  A#
Between your pleasure and growing up
Em
Lovely, it's amazing
How nothing ever changes
            Em
I know that hurt can go on forever
It strips the taste from the constellations
Em
I know nothing lasts forever
                               Bm
I know that hurt can go on and on
              E
Cause I eat stress and I shit blood
And buddy, I'll tell you, it never gets better
          Bm             G
When the ache gets too extreme, remember
D                                      Em
That this retreat from memory is your right
      D
And nothing's going to work
                                           Em
Retreat from what you've come to know as right
Am   Em
He steps to the dress and my skin
Hell ripped the fucking river open
To some other world they dragged me
Em
I have a history of surrender
              G
Part of a certain set of choices
       Em             G
Found among the many paths
           Em
Forged by lies I told myself
Lies like 'I will be protected'
Lies like 'death might forget me'
Like 'home is where I'm never invited'
          Em
Like 'my voice provides a light'
                 G             D             A#m
Like 'I can have everything I want before I die'
