[Verse 1]
G# G/G# Fm
Your eyes are painted red
D#
Just to show your age
C# D# C# D#
As the man with the sharp teeth bites down on your brain
G# G/G#
Point me to your grave
Fm D#
That's where you’ll play guitar
C# D#
With a gun to your head
C# D#
And a flame in your heart

[Verse 2]
G# G/G# Fm
They keep you in the basement
D#
With no one you can hurt
C# D#
One more chain 'round your leg
C# D#
And twelve rips in your shirt
G# G/G#
And now you're counting
Fm D# C#
Down till mother is dead
D# C#
Like the rest of the world
D# G#
You detested for so long
[Chorus]
A#m C#
They don’t tell you
Fm
Not to try
G# C#
They just wear you down
Fm C#
As you run your fingers along the marked wall
G#
That you chipped and inscribed
D#
With the thoughts you could never let go
[Break]

[Verse 3]
G# G/G# Fm D#
And you're shaking your arm just to stay awake
C# D# C# D#
As you're getting grey hairs at age twenty-two
G# G/G# Fm D#
You've been counting the hours down today
C# D# C# D# G#
'Cause you know that you've got just one chance to escape all of this
[Chorus]

They don’t tell you

They just wear you down
Fm C#
As you run your fingers along the marked wall
