[Verse 1]
D# (D#M7) E G#
Nothing feels the same since you got home
D# (D#M7) E G#
Someone swapped the pictures on your wall
D# (D#M7) E G#
Photos of evaporated men
D# (D#M7) E G#
Torn up bodies thrown across the sand
A# G# (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your arm
[Verse 2]
D# (D#M7) E G#
She's been really great since I got back
D# (D#M7) E G#
I'm afraid she knows I'm off the map
D# (D#M7) E G#
She's been trying to talk inside my mouth
D# (D#M7) E G#
I've been trying to calm my conscious down
A# G# (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your spine
D# G#
N.C.
[Chorus]
Cm A# G# D#
When I dream I see your dad holding your throat
Cm A# G# D#
His mouth up to your ear, he's screaming, "I've been shot"
G# A# Cm D# G# A# Cm A#
You bank on a linear life evolved by your command
G# A# Cm D# G# A#
You'll find the painful prize of watching it unhinge
[Verse 3]
D# (D#M7) E G#
You, you took it harder than our friends
D# (D#M7) E G#
I'm afraid you're spiraling again
D# (D#M7) E G#
Ran into your family at the go
D# (D#M7) E G#
Looked like they'd been living with a ghost
A# G# (riff*)
There's nothing worse than a poverty line
[Verse 4]
D# (D#M7) E G#
I can hardly look at her that way
D# (D#M7) E G#
Naked bodies haven't looked the same
D# (D#M7) E G#
I can't tell her why she's gotta stop
D# (D#M7) E G#
Too ashamed to open that one knock
A# G# (riff*)
There's nothing worse than being intertwined
D# G#
N.C.
[Chorus]
Cm A# G# D#
You've been dreaming I'm the dad you never had
Cm A# G# D#
Having out of body visions of my death
G# A# Cm D# G# A# Cm A#
Bank on a catered life that bends for your demands
G# A# Cm D# G# A#
Expect the painful prize of watching it unhinge
[Verse 5]
D# (D#M7) E G#
I remember back when we were kids
D# (D#M7) E G#
Life without a paralyzing mid
D# (D#M7) E G#
Now we get together in a glass
D# (D#M7) E G#
Hardly speak to watch the silence pass
A# G# (riff*)
There's nothing worse than silent alarm
[Verse 6]
D# (D#M7) E G#
We were trying awkwardly to sleep
D# (D#M7) E G#
Detailed out your plan on my machine
D# (D#M7) E G#
They still astounded in the dark
D# (D#M7) E G#
Shocked that it had finally fallen apart
A# G# (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your mind
D# G#
N.C.
[Chorus]
Cm A# G# D#
I've been dreaming of this unrelenting love
Cm A# G# D#
Depreciated gasping towards a new unknown
G# A# Cm D# G# A# Cm A#
It was a trusted ride before the water froze
G# A# Cm D# G# A#
I found the painful prize is rowing it alone
[Verse 7]
D# (D#M7) E G#
Drove out to the desert in your van
D# (D#M7) E G#
Drank some gasoline and made love to your hand
D# (D#M7) E G#
Cursed your God below for what he'd done
D# (D#M7) E G#
Before you sucked a bullet from your father's gun
A# G# (riff*)
There's nothing worse than losing your life
[Verse 8]
D# (D#M7) E G#
At your funeral she took my hand
D# (D#M7) E G#
Placed it on the baby in your lap
D# (D#M7) E G#
I've been trying my best to find my peace
D# (D#M7) E G#
But they both look like criminals to me
A# G# (riff*)
There's nothing worse than trusting a lie
[Bridge]
Cm A# G# D#
When I dream I see your body inside hers
Cm A# G# D#
When I wake I see your face but call it off
G# A# Cm D# G# A# Cm A#
The less you care for it, the less it has to grow
G# A# Cm D# G# A# D#
I can't abandon it and watch it turn to smoke
[Outro]
D# (D#M7) E G#
Recently I'm working on myself
D# (D#M7) E G#
Starting to convince myself it helps
A# G# (riff*)
There's nothing wrong with being alive
