[Intro]
G#m
[Verse 1]
G#m The disengagement of the bubble’s hypnotizing F# Some say below the doughy crust the beast is rising E We like to talk about the past C#m We like to talk about the past
[Verse 2]
G#m We talk about the past like it’s the strangest dream F# We repeat the thing we never dreamed we’d do E I understand that sometimes we all must dance with fuckery C#m But everybody’s pissing in the well of our suffering
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G#m I want to breathe in all the ashes of the books they tried to burn F# I want to feel the pages in my skin and understand the words E Castrate fiction, call it circumstance C#m They say her wanderings are dangerous G#m E/G# All she wants to do is dance F#/A# E/G# Dance
[Chorus 1]
G#m Question period’s E/G# Over, don’t you F#/A# E/G# Feel it, I do
[Verse 3]
G#m You’ll be pummeled by the certainty of minions F# It’s a puppet show, a theatre of opinions E A chorus of flack C#m Feeder of the pack
[Verse 4]
G#m You can hear the shaky timbre of the voices most alone F# Yeah it’s easier to sing within the crowd E Those who pretend to believe hardest might actually begin to C#m The nature of the bliss the warmth of ignorance gives into
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G#m I want to breathe in all the ashes of the books they tried to burn F# I want to taste resilience on my tongue and love beyond concern E Mass-grave subtlety, leave it for the birds C#m They say the world it might be dangerous G#m But all it seems to do is turn
[Chorus 2]
G#m E/G# F#/A# E/G# Bitten by the hand that feeds you G#m E/G# F#/A# E/G# Holding to what you’re beholden to
(Question period’s over, don’t you feel it? I do)
G#m E/G# F#/A# E/G# Bitten by the hand that feeds you
(Question period’s over, don’t you feel it? I do)
G#m E/G# F#/A# E/G# G#m Holding to what you’re beholden to
