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