Bridge:
Dbm
eleven years as a pit of ash
                            A
waiting to blow away in the wind

a washed-up wunderkind

circuits blown to smoking pieces

tried to leave him there

I tried to be someone different here
       Ab
but no matter the mud that dries on my face

it’s cleaner than my insides


Dbm
you treat me like I’m special,

someone gifted, someone good,
        Ab
someone worthy, someone right

I was bright
                        A
now I’m torn to smoking pieces
