a silhouette is following

Just waiting to break me down

I had it good, that's what I get

I guess that it's my turn now

Cut the wires, tangled, twisted

To find me again

Fracture, break me into pieces

'Til all that I am

Verse 2:
Em              B
a blinding pain behind my eye
C                     G
Is covering up the truth
Em                 B
Inside my brain's a parasite

It's telling me what to do

Feeding on my happiness

Like I never deserved it at all

Feeling like a pessimist

Verse 3:
Em
I project pain with the frame that I maintain

Pulling on chains, wanna break what I can't change

All that rage put away in my ribcage

Comes out in stages, how could I stage this?
Em
Bending over till you break your back for this

Go 'head and crack my ribs, and take my oxygen
C
I'm damned if I do or I don't, I'm breaking my bones

Can't make it alone, no

Painted in my head -hey-, and there's no going back
