[Intro 1]
[D][Em][Bm][D][G][Em][Bm]
[D][G]

[Verse 1]
[Em]How
do I [D]explain or even articu[A]late
That [Em]every day that [D]I'm awake
is a day I fade away?
[Em]Place chicken [D]scratch to paper as I
scratch inside my temples
For any [Em]hatch that [D]resembles
my simple solipsistic question
[G]So

[Verse 2]
here I [D]stand, a [Em]hol low [D]man
[G]A broken [D]piece [Em]of God's great

[Interlude 1]
plan
[D][Em][D][Bm][Em][D]
[Bm]
[Em]So I

[Verse 3]
get out of my [D]head and I meet
[A]up with [D]my friends
[Em]They say, "Hey dude, [D]we missed you,
where have you been?"
[Bm]But [Em]I've been bleeding,
[D]I've been bleeding from all these senseless self beatings
And [Em]they scream, "Please [D]be lieve it,
you [Em]are needed, you [D]are needed!"
[Em]But when

[Verse 4]
will I know [F#m]it? That I am
[D]not that piece of shit?
That people [Em]look at and [F#m]they wince
and throw [D]up a little bit
I am [Em]so cold (but they hold
[D]me in a way
That makes [Em]the pain [F#m]go awa[D]y
But I've been [G]slowly building [D]up
my [Em]sense of self from [D]dust
[G]I once was just a [D]husk, [Em]rust covered in rust,
covered in rust, [D]covered in rust

[Verse 5]
In real[Em]ity,
my [Bm]sanity [D]is hanging by [G]a thread
But if [Em]I became balanc[Bm]ed,
would my [F#m]street cred be [G]in shreds?
When my iden[Em]tity is en[Bm]tirely the ma[A]niac [G]you see,
if I [Em]became [Bm]healthy would I stop [F#m]being [G]me?

[Verse 6]
In [G]reality, [D]my sanity is hanging by [G]a
thread (slowly building up)
But if [Em]I became balanc[D]ed,
would [A]my street [D]creds be in [G]shreds? (My sense of self from dust)
When my iden[Em]tity is en[Bm]tirely the ma
[D]niac [G]you see (I once was just a husk)
If [Em]I became he[Bm]althy, would I s[D]top being me? (Rust covered in[G] rust,
covered in rust, covered in rust)

[Verse 7]
Slowly building [D]up [Em]my sense
of self from [D]dust
[G]I once was just a [D]husk
[Em]Rust covered in rust, covered in [D]rust,
covered in rust
Well, [G]here [D]I s[Em]tand ([D]here I)
[G]A mouth [D]full of san[Em]d (why do I keep
[D]eating [G]sand?)
Please, could you [D]hold my [Em]hand?
[D]Stop me eat[G]ing the sand,
[D]stop me feeling [Em]so goddamn bad
