[Intro 1]
[Am][G][Em]
[Am]
[G]
[Em]I touch,

[Verse 1]
[Am]
eyes close, outside light shows
Inside homes, people sleep [Em]soundly
Coach[Am]ing the eyes closed,
probably quite close
To finding the right dose,
to properly es[Em]cape
Open [Am]win dows you might close,
I have left open in fact
Stress has broken my back,
I'm coping [Em]with that
My [Am]hope is intact,
I've got a rope but
it's only a gnat
Suicide's a long way from [Em]my mind
Take [Am]the coat from the rack,
take the coat from the rack
And you'll see me bop all over the map
I'm hoping [Em]to catch a do[Am]e in a trap
But I've never been the predator type
I'm only hunting the food that
is the [Em]flesh
Cause it's es[Am]sential to life,
potentially right
But at the same time potentially wrong,
see every [Em]journey is [Am]potentially long
I might return like I've never been gone,
sing a pessimist song
Written in [Em]letters from the [Am]dead of a song
Now every battle is relayed on tape,
and if you play the game
You can [G]end up with some [Am]major pain
A lot of people pray today
for [G]better tomor[Am]rows
But sometimes hope sinks,
it's incredibly hollow
But in fact it's too cool,
take two pulls and pass that I can't act,
see me in gardens and parks
Backtracking through
childhood memories
Remem[G]ber me, messily,
digging the mud [Em]to find the centipede
[Am]Lec ture me,
tell me the essence of every element
Whatever's relevant to existence
I'm intelligent, but I am barely taking it in
And the way that the wind
makes my [Em]skin feel
I'm [Am]breaking the strings,
with the words I've been making a wing
And when I fall from my flight,
I bounce [Em]back without
[G]breaking a [Am]limb
Seems like everybody's playing the king
[G]I'm [Am]chasing a drink, with [Em]the air,
that's the [Am]way it begins
The chamber is lit, the flames lit, painting it in
A chain of events,
as [Em]strange since [Am]the baby I've been
Playing with language,
creating a [G]land bridge and sand pits
I stand king crab
where the [Em]can vas meets the hand
[Am]grit[Em][Am][Em][Am]
[G]
[Em]I sleep late[Am] with the sun in the sky
The crunch of the ice, the rust[Em]ling leaves,
a [Am]punch in the eye
Summer seems like it's late to rise
Summer seems the summer,
my dreams [Em]nothing,
it's a [G]fake disguise
[Am]See you're a fool if you break the lines
I'm a fool with a faded tie
[Em]I left sch[Am]ool when I was eight or nine
I re[Em]turned just to [G]waste some time
[Am]Now I'm burning off logs in the cave
I find I'm hating by the ancient tribes
The lake is kind, it provides food
Now the lake is dry
I touch base with the animists
Activate the chemical habits
I demonstrate [G]like [Am]an activist,
how miraculous this planet actually is
Your cash stands as [Em]nothing
if you [Am]crash land in the big,
wide wilderness
White on the [G]hills I fit right in,
no time [Am]to chill, I can still exist
I a silverfish chilling where the gorillas live,
time witness [Em]kit
I see [Am]mas sacres in the midst of this,
vision unlimited
Without the pixels depicting
a different [Em]image,
there [G]is hidden in [Am]the simple bits
So you can understand,
worms moving under sand
Words [Em]moving, turn to the [Am]truth,
shake his grubby hand
I'm pursuing it, losing it,
where the future is
Tuna fish, [Em]movement too [Am]soon
to lose the looseness
All il[Em]lusionists,
[G]calling on all [Am]the lunatics
Waiting for the end of it all,
[G]you know how soo[Am]n it is?
We're all as [Em]stupid as the [G]next,
cruising [Am]to the edge
Looting from the text,
only using what is useless
Next, I trek solidly,
three days I'm off
of the beaten path
Apologies in advance, I'm solitary
We can dance, but sorry,
I'm [G]off as soon as the dropping leaves [D]start to [G]rot
Forest needs lots [Em]to
grow it [Am]properly you
