[Intro 1]
[G][C][G]
You're [C]a

[Verse 1]
[G]living black hole,
[C]a le[F]sion in the bone
You're a [C]shivering [Em]child
[Esus4]deny ing [D]he's alon[G]e
[C]You're the wor[G]st thing I've seen,
a [F]famine of the mind
You're [C]a new disease,
[Em]there's noth[D]ing of your kind
[C]You're a m[Am]asochist's joke
[F]It's turning tra[G]gic halfway [D]through
And [C]we're turning your
[Em]words into [G]verse[D]
You're [Am]abysmal and I'm [F]hop[Dm]ing
[F]That despite the[G] lack of time
[D]We manage[C] to lif[Em]t your
[D]curse[G][C][G][C][G]
[C]We'll [G]find you weak heart
And [F]sever all its roots
And [C]watch as [Em]it starts to
[D]splutter and to [C]lose
We'll [G]fight the malaise that
[F]binds us to your kind
We'll [C]starve you of atten
[Em]tion till [D]rage turns you [C]blind
2
And [Am]we will pray that yo[F]ur hands have be[G]en bound at th[D]e ribs,
and [C]that all of your [Em]cries [Am]will [D]be sweet,
Despite [Am]all of t[F]he forces that
[G]have lessened their [D]wings
Love [C]you begging for our mer[Em]cy
and [D]our [G]fear[C][G][C][G]
Hatred corrupts, and it pur[F]ifies [C]too
[F]It [C]simpli[Em]fies thoughts,
just [Am]like [D]love can[G][C][Am]
[C]Oh, I mis[G]s when it was an
[F]op tional vice
[C]Something you'd choose
[Em]when fear [D]was the price
[C]But fea[Am]r is the norm,
[F]and a par[G]alyzed doo[D]m
Is no [C]way to [Em]pass by the [D]time
I've [Am]gambled on [F]hatred,
and I've [G]seen what [D]it does
To [C]lessen the [Em]fractures, the [D]trouble in my [G]mind
