[Intro 1]
[Em][F#m][Em][F#m]

[Verse 1]
[Em]When
I'm by myself I find my
Mind starts [D]drifting [F#m]some where e[D]lse
It's [Em]not inside this dimension
It's defin[Bm]itely somewhere else
I [Em]wrestle with my thoughts
Constant wrestle [F#m]with my mental health
I'm [Em]put on life-support
I've I've been put upon the highest shelf

[Verse 2]
My whole life I've been [Em]fighting
[F#m]This cake it don't have icing[Em]
These mantras I'm reciting
[F#m]They're mean to keep me san[Em]e
I don't know if they're working
[F#m]Cerebral cortex hurtin[Em]g
Maybe it's all learning?

[Verse 3]
Maybe it's cause
[Em]Life is a lottery, what an anomaly
Sometimes it's [F#m]riches
And sometimes it's poverty
[Em]Sometimes your nerves have been
Fried by neuropathy
Begging the [F#m]sur geon to
have a lobotomy
[Em]Honestly, I'm a speak honestly, honestly
Life is iron[F#m]ically fucking me chronically
[Em]I have been ill in myself
and it bothers me

[Verse 4]
License for killing myself, call me Connery
[Em]Ah, [C]I'ma be straight with you [Em]now
[F#m]I'ma go straight for the heart
Pu[Em]pils dilate in the dark
People die late in the [F#m]dark
Noah was late for the [Em]ark
Hmm, Noah was late for the ark
Genesis rain and it rain when it starts
Genesis pain in the art
Genesis aim for the heart genesis

[Verse 5]
[Em]When I'm by myself I find my
Mind starts drifting somewhere else
It's not inside this realm of though
It's definitely somewhere else
Wage war upon my demons
I've been knocking down the gates of hell
A heretic, a heathen
I've been screaming in this padded cell

[Verse 6]
It's [Em]pain making, my pain waking
It's painstakingly cold my soul aching
My bones breaking when
holding onto control
Wrap yellow tape round the body shape
Put the body in the bag zip close
It's malignant, it's mutating
It's such a sight to behold

[Verse 7]
Ah [Em]ha, mh hm
Let me be real for a second, mh[F#m]m
Tongue is a gun, it's a [Em]weapon, hm
Reload blat, beat, dead em, mhm
[F#m]Beast mode, Armaged[Em]don, get em
Let me take the wheel for a second
Hit a [F#m]hoop like Shaquille
[Em]O'Neal with aggression
Regroup with a three point
Steal in succession
Swish swoop and I'm making
Them feel the profession

[Verse 8]
Making them feel [Em]the profession
Making them feel the profes[F#m]sion
Time is the [Em]author, the lesson
Time is a murderous weapon
[F#m]Time is a curse and a blessing
[Em]Time is confined in the eye
of my mind
That reminds me that life is
Just slipping right [F#m]by
Take my [Em]piece of the pie
And then feed and unwind
I find freedom in [F#m]rhymes
To defy [Em]my depression
I'ma be [C]straight with you

[Verse 9]
[Em]now
[F#m]I'ma go straight for the heart
Pu[Em]pils dilate in the dark
People die late in the [F#m]dark
Noah was [Em]late for the ark
Hmm, Noah was late for the ark
Genesis rain and it rain when it starts
Genesis pain in the art
Genesis aim for the heart
[F#m]genesis[Em][F#m]
[Em]Genesis
