Verse:
                     Em                                    D
I cry alone in the night so you don't have to see my tears
 
And I'm the most unstable when I'm controlled by my fears
  Cmaj7                   C
I hate how my body is so I avoid these mirrors
 
And I'm not so happy, things aren't always as they appear
           Em
The fog is slowly gone and it's becoming all so clear
           D
The version of my happy self is no longer near
          C
Feeling this way for the entirety of a year
 
So I listen as the sadness whispers things in my ears
 

  Em
I rip myself away into a lonely empty hole
         D
And you take yourself away as I sell my whole soul
     Cmaj7                            C
Digging into this deprеssion like a crying little mole
 
I fall down an еternal fireman's pole
      Em
Driving on this road alone it's already 3 am
             D
My headlights try their best to push through the dark I'm trapped in
        Cmaj7
But the ghosts of the past stand ahead my racing car
                                         C                                Em
They creep and they haunt and keep my thoughts and me from going all too far
 
My emotional comfort runs full out of gas
          D
And I'm stuck here in the cold wonder how long I can last
      C
So I bang my head to get the demons out upon the shattered glass
 
Hoping I won't survive this mental bash
     Em
I hike down this path and arrive at the witch's altar
     D
I bow and worship this sadness that has become my martyr
       C
She whispers in my ear why have you done this and what have you done
 
Why couldn't you have made the right choice for once
       Em
So I scream and I sob and I fall into this hole
             D
My breath leaves my chest as I hit the worm filled soil
            C
I see the stars and they tell me I don't deserve my soul
 
And let me tell you it's real xxxxxxx hard to get out of a hole when they take
                                          EM
When they take, when they take away your rope
 
They sell happiness all wrapped inside a pill
             D
So I keep writing these poems just to feel something still
                  G
This can't be happening, no this can't be real
            C
But I condemned myself to this place, myself I have sealed
       Em
So I sprint in the dark to shrivel up all by myself
                       D
And I look at all these people, how we're all unkept
       G
Secrets from my past come rising to the top
                   C
And one day I'll throw myself off the ledge in order to make it stop
Em
And they sell joy all wrapped inside a pill
              D
Our own unique character our consumption will slowly kill
        G
Just swallow it down before you break the rules too hard
           C 
And stay right there, stay inside your own backyard
            Em 
I want to leave this place, and never return
            D 
I want to leave this place, take my past and let it burn
             C 
I want to leave this place, and leave no rock unturned
 
Until one day I can make it stop
                   Em 
Yeah I can make it stop
