Is this wrong of me? I've come so far, so fast

    G       F#         G       F#
I'm in the dark about a lot of things

Seems so real, to me!

I've consecrated!

      G     F#        G   F#
I wish that I could hate it

I saw my bloody hands come clean, before my eyes!

    Bm    G   F#              E              F#
And I hear a different kind again, someone stop me

    Bm    G   F#               E             F#
And I feel the strain inside my mind, am I crazy?

And I need to shed my skin, reveal this monolith within

I couldn't have: oh Jesus, I just don't know

 G       F#       D    F#  G
What's inside, of me?

F#      G    F#
I've desecrated!

My god, I love to hate it!

My hands are bloody again, there's no reason why!
