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