[Verse 1]
Cm
I woke up in syncope, springtime when she came for me
G# Fm A#
Frame of reference shifted and then I knew nothing
Cm
Now I live my life through her lens, spineless bokeh radiance
G# Fm A#
Uninvited, unrequited, I know, I know
Cm
Craving you, the hour is late, field of view desaturate
G# Fm Gm
Sunlight takes me from the shelf, not oppressed, oppress myself
Cm
Panic spreads out of the void, dark room in a Polaroid
G# Gm A#
Think of nothing, think of nothing and breathe
[Chorus]
Cm A# D# G#
I light the fuse and you tranquilize
G# Gm Fm D#
Masking cues, apathetic highs
Cm A# D# G#
Admit none of the fault, but take all of the prize
G# D# A# Cm
Slipping back as the embers die
[Verse 2]
Cm
She knows what I'd do for her, riddles in the literature
G# Fm Gm
Impostor syndrome hunting, cache the flow, I think I'm on to something
Cm
Tick-tick-tick so fucking slow, normalize when I feel low
G# Gm A#
Digits tighten, armrest breaking down on my own again
[Chorus]
Cm A# D# G#
I light the fuse and you tranquilize
G# Gm Fm D#
Masking cues, apathetic highs
Cm A# D# G#
Own none of the fault, but take all of the prize
G# D# A# Cm
Slipping back as the embers die
Fm
The embers die,
D# Fdim Fm
Grow towards the light,
D# Gmm Fm
Grow towards the light,
D# A# G# A#
Grow towards the light,

[Chorus]
Cm A# D# G#
I light the fuse and you tranquilize
G# Gm Fm D#
Masking cues, apathetic highs
Cm A# D# G#
Own none of the fault, but take all of the prize
G# D# A# Cm
Slipping back as the embers die
Cm A# D# G#
Why do I trust you now when I know your mind?
G# Gm Fm D#
Why do I mask my thoughts when I know I'm right?
Cm A# D# G#
I'll take all the fault and grow and take all the prize
G# Gm Fm D#
Why should I breathe in the ashes of your lies?
Cm A# D# G#
Why do I run the risk when I know you're mine?
G# Gm Fm D#
Why do I mask my thoughts when I know I'm right?
Cm A# D# G#
Admit none of the fault, but take all of the prize
G# D# A# Cm
Slipping back as the em..., as the embers die
