[Intro 1]
[Db5][E5][C5][C#5]
[E5][C5]
[F#][B]
[C5]Swarming

[Verse 1]
in the [G5]street[Am]s
Pulsing in the [C5]blood of
[Am]late night [C5]locust[Am]s
[F]The [C5]sound [Bbm]of broken[Am] teeth and fingernails
scraping on brick walls
[F]Piercing bon[Am]es with
worthless [C5]cures
[Am]In between the tremors
To sub[F]due the neces[Am]sity [C5]of l[Am]iving
Only [C5]to return [Am]when the lights
[C5]go o[Am]ut ag[B]ain[Bm]
Peel [B]the skin back from my face
Revel in [C5]the disease
[B]Drink [Bm]from [C5]the rivers of rust[B]
Take [Bm]shelter [B]inside this house [Bm]of over[C5]whelming
[Bm]distress and [C5]disregard
Hollow your soul [B]with [C5]needles
[B]Pray for[Bm] your own [C5]end
[C#5]While you [E5]wait [Em]for the
[C5]pain to go [A5]away
[Am]Every [Bm]one else is [Am]watching [C5]you fade away
[Am]Losi[C5]ng faith in hope[Db5] and sleeping
in the waste
[E]Product of a dec[C5]aying race
Heir to the throne of
[Bbm]sympath[C5]etic apathy
Purvey[F#]or of post[B][Bbm]
traumatic medicinal [F#]prac[F]tices
[C5]If there ever was [Bb5]an end i[C5]n sight
[B]You [C5]would only find it [A5]in an o[C5]ver dosage w[F#]hen you we[F]ren't even
[C5]search[Am]ing for [Bbm]it[C5][B][Bbm][B][Bbm]
The roaches come when the lights go out
The [C#5]locusts [Bbm]feed when our time r[Cb]uns[Bbm]
