C#                      G#
  Well, I felt the burn

                     A#m                       F#
Since the day you departed and talked from the tomb

                        C#
I'm still healing those wounds

                     G#
And it holds me down

              A#m                           F#                      C#
But made me a man that says "Fuck all those rules, I will be who I choose"

                  G#
Its a lonely road

          A#m            F#                          C#
With one grip on several psalms and one grip on the gun

                      G#
And it holds the rope

                 A#m                    F#                              C#
That spins me in circles and dizzies my head then says sleep when you're dead

C#                     G#
  Were you ever here?

                  A#m                       F#                        C#
Or just lost on a surface that at the first touch just evades in the dust

                      G#
And it pulls me down

                A#m                  F#                   C#
And shows me my demons lined up in a sequence forming a crowd

                 G#
It was so alone

       A#m            F#                                C#
With a piece of happy home that they stripped from the bone

                 G#
I did not react

             A#m                     F#                      C#
I settled my grievance by crafting a mask and I never looked back

   F#                     G#
So tell me what you know

       A#m         G#        F#
I'm in deeper than I've ever been

F#    F#   G#                 F# F# G# G# G#
           I will never grow

F#    F#   A#m       G#            F#
While this anchor is chained to my feet

F#    F#   G#      G#       G#  x F# F# A#m A#m A#m x
           Tell me what you know
