G - (Riff 1)
What did you expect
And what did you forget
That to live you let go of me with each step
It becomes a progression I won't let regret manifest
To aggression
Are you to assess what I've been? What I am? Or become?
Did you stop to accept how pathetically dumb
It can be to
Attack those around 'cause you're
G - (Riff 2)
True to color, a town, a time, or a place?
It's not you, it's not mine
And besides it is gone
And you never will find it again
But I don't want to fight
I just ask let me be
I won't give the chance to be my enemy
So go home
Think it through
A jet plane and a big idea
C (x32010@1) D (xx0232@1) GI (320003@1)jump over the sea
What ifs hot on my trail
C (x32010@1) D (xx0232@1) GBut (320003@1)that can't catch me, no
Em (022000@1) DA (xx0232@1)slight figure of speech
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1)
I cut my chest wide open
Em (022000@1) CThey (x32010@1)come and watch us bleed
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) D (xx0232@1)
Is it art like I was hoping now?
