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

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