Drilled A Wire Through My Cheek Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Em][Am]
[E]

[Verse 1]
I [Am]try
to stay on top of you
To hold [Em]your body [E]down
[Am]Your shaking seems to hinder
every grasp that [Em]I had [E]found
[Em]Moving

[Verse 2]
[Am]every inch around me
To defuse your private bom[Em]b
[Am]I stretch myself surrounding and
protecting [E]you from harm

[Verse 3]
I use a [Am]wallet for your mouth so when
you bite you will not [E]bleed
[Em]I drilled a wi[Am]re through my cheek
and let it down and [Em]out my sleeve
[Am]And now you're

[Verse 4]
pulling
out the best of me
Yeah, which never ever comes
This wire's all that's [Dm]left [Am]of me and it's
hooked with[Em]in my gums within [Am]my gums

[Verse 5]
So drill it, so drill it, so [C]hard,
[B]I feel [Am]it
[C](So drain [Dm]it) [Am]so drill it, so drill it,
so [C]hard, [B]I feel [Am]it
(You've got [C]to drain it)
[Dm]As

[Verse 6]
[Am]proof to show I'd bleed for this
I'd cut myself to shame
To get to know this masochist who's stolen
my [E]first [Am]name

[Verse 7]
Pretending he's a teacher
holding all my weight at ease
[Em]But the teac[Am]her seems to split in two
destroying both his [E]knees
[Am]Now

[Verse 8]
crawling I position myself
below your broken wings
I lift your feathered left arm where you
hide your heart [Em]from [E]me
[Am]I never

[Verse 9]
noticed it was swollen
with the touch of brutal pain
I never knew a heart could live inside
the rust from all your [D]rain
[Am]All your rain

[Verse 10]
So drill it, so drill it, so [C]hard,
[B]I feel [Am]it
[C](So drain [D]it)[Am] so drill it, so drill it,
so [C]hard, [B]I feel [Am]it
(You've got to [C]drain [D]it)

[Verse 11]
I didn't [Am]think to bring a wash cloth
or to rub away the dirt
Myself and I,
we share this barely-beating heart heart of hurt

[Verse 12]
And when the [Am]hurt comes
there's an argument
A fight to save [E]a smile
[Am]A small attack on human tears
to dry them [E]for a while

[Verse 13]
[Am]A dream we all should count on,
yeah, a vision [E]I believe
[Am]In where confidence is found
attached to wires [E]on our sleeve
[Am]In where

[Verse 14]
loneliness is history
Told to pack his shit and [E]leave
And where [Am]guidance is a fortune told
to help in [E]time of need

[Verse 15]
And where [Am]crying isn't secret,
it's the art of how we grieve
And lessons are the key to every goal [E]I will [Am]achieve,

[Verse 16]
I will achieve
[Am]So drill it, so drill it, so h[C]ard,
[B]I feel [Am]it
(So drain it) so [C]drill [Dm]it, s[Am]o drill it,
so [C]hard, [B]I feel [Am]it
(You've got [C]to [D]dra[Am]in it)

[Verse 17]
So drill it, so [Am]drill [C]it,
[B]so [Am]hard
[C](So drain [D]it)[Am] so drill it,
so drill [C]it, so hard[B][Am]
(You've got to [C]drain it)[Am]
