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

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