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

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