[Verse 1]
C#m
I woke up in syncope, springtime when she came for me
A F#m B
Frame of reference shifted and then I knew nothing
C#m
Now I live my life through her lens, spineless bokeh radiance
A F#m B
Uninvited, unrequited, I know, I know
C#m
Craving you, the hour is late, field of view desaturate
A F#m G#m
Sunlight takes me from the shelf, not oppressed, oppress myself
C#m
Panic spreads out of the void, dark room in a Polaroid
A G#m B
Think of nothing, think of nothing and breathe
[Chorus]
C#m B E A
I light the fuse and you tranquilize
A G#m F#m E
Masking cues, apathetic highs
C#m B E A
Admit none of the fault, but take all of the prize
A E B C#m
Slipping back as the embers die
[Verse 2]
C#m
She knows what I'd do for her, riddles in the literature
A F#m G#m
Impostor syndrome hunting, cache the flow, I think I'm on to something
C#m
Tick-tick-tick so fucking slow, normalize when I feel low
A G#m B
Digits tighten, armrest breaking down on my own again
[Chorus]
C#m B E A
I light the fuse and you tranquilize
A G#m F#m E
Masking cues, apathetic highs
C#m B E A
Own none of the fault, but take all of the prize
A E B C#m
Slipping back as the embers die
F#m
The embers die,
E Fdim F#m
Grow towards the light,
E G#mm F#m
Grow towards the light,
E B A B
Grow towards the light,
[Instrumental Bridge]
C#m B E A
A G#m F#m E
C#m B E A
A E B
[Chorus]
C#m B E A
I light the fuse and you tranquilize
A G#m F#m E
Masking cues, apathetic highs
C#m B E A
Own none of the fault, but take all of the prize
A E B C#m
Slipping back as the embers die
C#m B E A
Why do I trust you now when I know your mind?
A G#m F#m E
Why do I mask my thoughts when I know I'm right?
C#m B E A
I'll take all the fault and grow and take all the prize
A G#m F#m E
Why should I breathe in the ashes of your lies?
C#m B E A
Why do I run the risk when I know you're mine?
A G#m F#m E
Why do I mask my thoughts when I know I'm right?
C#m B E A
Admit none of the fault, but take all of the prize
A E B C#m
Slipping back as the em..., as the embers die
