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