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