[Verse]
Fm
Call it what you want
A#m C# A#m C#
I see myself under water
Fm
You call drowning swimming
A#m C# A#m C#
As you watch me swallow water
Fm
Forget what I said
A#m C#
I emerge wet and screaming
A#m C#
bloody murder
[Chorus]
G# D#
And you might say I make myself
A#m C#
Into a marginal victim
G# D#
A# baby crying hard until
A#m
I get what I want
C# G#
but there is a friction
D# A#m C# G#
between, What I want and what I need
D# A#m C#
And it is clear that I must scream
A#m C#
So I paddle harder
A#m C#
[Verse]
Fm
Pain exists in ways you inflict
A#m C# A#m C#
The breaks you can’t solder
Fm
Write about me, Live in your own world of hurt
A#m C# A#m C#
Steal the lake from the water
[Chorus]
G# D#
And I’ll conflate the ones who
A#m C#
Made me feel a part of their system
G# D#
Every screaming man gets what
A#m C# G#
He wants and doesn’t know the difference
D# A#m C#
Between what he wants and thinks he needs
G# D# A#m C#
And I always find myself to be
A#m C#
The loving martyr
A#m C#
I’m screaming like thunder
