Well, I've got some scattered pictures lying on my bedroom floor.

 Verse 2:


E				    Ab
Loose ends tied in knots. Leaving a lump down in my throat.

Gagging on a souvenir.

Lodged to fill another year.

E                              Ab
Drag it  on  and  on  until my skin is ripped to shreads.

A
Leaving myself open wide

B
Living out a sacrifice.
