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