Intro: F#m--Bm--E--C#m

      F#m Bm
Indeed I 
      E        C#m    F#m   Bm
have sucked it up to heights
    E     C#m       F#m   Bm
Unknown to those outside
    E  C#m     F#m        Bm
My body has contained and suppressed
      E             C#m     F#m Bm 
And swallowed and abetted, oh I
               E  C#m   F#m   Bm
Oh I am a stranger to myself
          E    C#m   F#m Bm
Beneath altruism dwells
   E         C#m      F#m              Bm
A force uncontended a voice that is tempered
E                  C#m
Too boiled and unhindered


           F#m Bm
Who am I kidding?
       E       C#m        F#m Bm
I am not some Mother Theresa
      E         C#m      F#m  Bm
If I don't say something soon
       E              C#m          F#m     Bm
I will break from the weight of the high load I take
E C#m
Nooooo


Indeed I need my chance to fail
Some room to unravel
I need a chance to blame for two minutes
Unbridled, unbrazened
So I need imaginings of maiming
Fantasies of outright screaming
I need a chance to thrash for minutes
Uncontained, unforgiving

(Chorus)

D            C#m                      D
I will move beyond, I'm certain of that
The sooner I go the quicker I'll be back
I would not threaten or cause you any harm
Have to get this out or my light will go out

(Chorus)
