Intro -x2-: D  Bm  G  Bm
 
Verse 1:
            D                Bm
I'm setting pen to paper again
                 G
Lost my sense of home
                             Bm
from the words that I've said
        D                      Bm
But the thoughts have begun to ferment in my head
    G
and content manifests
         Bm
Don't feel good enough for them
    D                     Bm
So I try and transcend my ego
 
but don't we know?
G             Dsus4
It will never work
D                              Bm
Maybe I'll just descend to dirt
             G               Dsus4
Flirt with becoming food for worms
 
Chorus:
D
Would anyone listen to this?
Bm
The ramblings of a lunatic
G
My mind does play an awful trick
Bm
The ramblings of a lunatic
D
Would anyone listen to this?
Bm
I'm running from my emptiness
G
My brain is tired, my stomach's sick
Bm
The ramblings of a lunatic
 
Verse 2:
D                               Bm
Why has constructing sentences become like pulling teeth?
G
Wiping dental records clean
Bm
Is the carcass even me?
      D
Is this catharsis?
Bm                  G
Therapeutic plunge to darkness?
      Bm                  D
Or elaborating upon my mediocrity?
                              Bm
Maybe this is a result of me finally accepting
              G
that I'll be alone forever,
                Bm
that I deserve forgetting
                D
It's a pointless endeavor
                Bm
and maybe it's upsetting
                     G                                Bm
but I've never felt more comfortable in the concept of things ending
 
Chorus:
D
Would anyone listen to this?
Bm
The ramblings of a lunatic
G
My mind does play an awful trick
Bm
The ramblings of a lunatic
D
Would anyone listen to this?
Bm
I'm running from my emptiness
G
My brain is tired, my stomach's sick
Bm
The ramblings of a lunatic

Verse 3:
D                       Bm                                  G                            Bm
Maybe this writer's block that I've been perceiving is to stop me diving deeply into my internal being
 D                     Bm
Falling into darkness below my surface tension,
      G
emotional suppression,
        Bm
my coping mechanism
        D                            Bm
Cause all my friends are dying, some faster than the others
      G
Lungs filling up with fluid
      Bm
Place face under the covers
     D                         Bm
All my friends are dying, some faster than the others
           G                        Bm
I'm trying to distract myself from the fears but I've discovered
