F#m9 (242224@1)                B6I (02110x@1)lay awake and after countless hours, 
                      F#m9I (242224@1)just can`t think straight

inside

the mornings greet me with grey days and tear-stained windowsills and pillowcases
I get dressed and go to work
bloody noses, red like roses pose as sanctuary
when I just need a minute to myself
and in this simple way, we offer
to destroy all we can`t figure out
in our simple lives, unconscious
we employ our skills from underground
to seek what we`ve never seen
to find, where we never knew
to explore deep, inside

kill me, won`t you kill me
kill me
 let me sleep again
 kill me
 don`t relate your memories
 kill me
 kill me won`t you
 to see
 what we`ve never seen to find
 where we never knew to go
 where we never dared to explore
 deep...
