          Em9                 D9       C9
I open my eyes, but I still manage to dream
                   Em9             D9                C9
This cold bathroom floor now just feels like home to me
                 Em9                      D9       C9
I stumble to the mirror, and I naturally start to clean
                           Em9                              D9
But my body's scorned with marks that say these aren't the last lines that
     C9
I'll see

                    G5                   G5/F#
So please cut this string attached to my wrists
              Em7                      C2          D
Buried in my shaking palm, I hold this evil in my fist
             G5             G5/F#
I relive my pain with every scar
                       Em7                     C2   D
It's a battlefield of memories that just won't go away for me

                       Em9                      D9    C9
This world has tied me down, and the knot keeps tightening
                  Em9               D9                C9
'Cause I'm just a puppet, dangling from this breaking string
               Em9                 D9    C9
But maybe I'll turn this blade the other way
                Em9                D9              C9
And roll up my sleeves to let the scars show my mistakes

                    G5                   G5/F#
So please cut this string attached to my wrists
              Em7                      C2          D
Buried in my shaking palm, I hold this evil in my fist
             G5             G5/F#
I relive my pain with every scar
                       Em7                     C2   D      
Em      C9
It's a battlefield of memories that just won't go away for me

    Em                                             C9
You couldn't make the cut, so now you'll make this cut
    Em                                             C9
You couldn't make the cut, so now you'll make this cut
    Em                                             C9
You couldn't make the cut, so now you'll make this cut
    Em                                             C9
You couldn't make the cut, so now you'll make this cut

         Em9            D11                C9
I can't breathe, I'm in need, where's my crimson savior?
                                Em9          D11                       C9
No, I won't crawl back just to bleed, forgive me, I promise I'll stay clean
