[Intro]
Cmaj7 Bm7 Cmaj7 Bm7
[Verse 1]
Cmaj7
Smoke puffs are white and piling
This head feels like an island
Bm7
I am my own asylum
Their stares are beady but I don't mind
Cmaj7
Let 'em take their time
Bm7
'Cause there ain't no new light to shed, no, no
[Pre-Chorus]
Cmaj7 Bm7
Pandemonium calms me down like an ocean, oh
An ocean, oh
Cmaj7 Bm7
And I'm kissing pillow lips, drunk off saccharine potions, oh
And nothing really matters
[Chorus]
Cmaj7
'Cause everybody here is dyin', mm
Bm7
Dyin' out in slow motion, mm
Am7
And everybody here is lyin', lyin'
Cmaj7 Em
Silently detonating emotions
[Verse 2]
Am7
Read the spaces between the lines
Cmaj7
Mind your own business while I grow mine
No, it's never personal, yeah
Em
Maybe that's the problem (that's the problem)
Am7
We loosen up every rung on the ladder
Cmaj7
Serve up a smile on a silver platter
Em
No one needs a pillar, just a painkiller or two
[Chorus]
Cmaj7
'Cause everybody here is dyin', mm
Bm7
Dyin' out in slow motion, mm
Am7
And everybody here is lyin', lyin'
Cmaj7 Em
Silently detonating emotions mm, mm
[Verse 3]
Cmaj7
We're dyin' in the dark
It's written there in the stars
You're understood by so little
And loved only from afar
Bm7
And counting blessings is hard
I don't quite know where to start
The gold is new, but the gray
Well, that's just state of the art
Cmaj7
And bottoms up to skeletons all bottled up
Bm7
Always going when the going gets too tough, oh
[Chorus]
Cmaj7
Yeah, everybody here is dyin'
Bm7
Dyin' out in slow motion
Am7
And everybody here is lyin', lyin'
Cmaj7 Em
Silently detonating emotions
Cmaj7
Yeah, everybody here is dyin'
Bm7
Dyin' out in slow motion
Am7
And everybody here is lyin', lyin'
Cmaj7 Em
Silently detonating emotions
Cmaj7
'Cause everybody here is dyin'
