Verse
A
I'm hollowed out where a bright crux used to be
C#m
I'm shredding my skin like you wouldn't believe
A
I couldn't help myself, I just needed to grieve
C#m
While I lived vacant in a memory
A
(Backtrack)
A
Never thought I'd ever be back
C#m
(Think fast)
C#m
Never thought I'd ever be last
A C#m
I'm selfish with time, it's my only worth
A
(Step back)
A
'Cause I'm feeling really outmatched
C#m
(Forced in)
C#m
While I'm dealing with the contrast
A C#m
You're far from me, that's hard for me, tread carefully
[Chorus]
A
I'm tongue tied inside
C#m B
With a little bit of lust mixed in to the mold
A C#m B
Myself this solitude
A
I live in
C#m B
Pretend like I'm never gonna need a friend again
A C#m B
I'll keep myself intact
[Verse 2]
A C#m
Drift away to a place that's not so harrowing
A
To the back plate of my mind, digging up what's left to find
C#m
With the bar set way too high for me, I'm bound to sink uncomfortably
[Chorus]
A
I'm tongue tied inside
C#m B
With a little bit of lust mixed in to the mold
A C#m B
Myself this solitude
A
I live in
C#m B
Pretend like I'm never gonna need a friend again
A C#m B
I'll keep myself intact
[Breakdown]
A C#m B
A C#m B
A C#m B
A C#m B
[Chorus]
A
I'm tongue tied inside
C#m B
With a little bit of lust mixed in to the mold
A C#m B
Myself this solitude
A
I live in
C#m B
Pretend like I'm never gonna need a friend again
A C#m B
I'll keep myself intact
