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

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