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