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

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