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