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

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