Bbm
  F              Gb           Db           Bbm
I live inside my own world of make believe
     F                  Gb          Db       Bbm
Kids screaming in their cradles, profanities
  F                     Gb              Db      Bbm
I see the world through eyes covered in ink and bleach
      F                Gb                 Db
Cross out the ones who heard my cries and watched me weep
 
Chorus:
Bbm    F          Gb
I love everything
     Db              Bbm
Fire spreading all around my room

My world's so bright

It's hard to breathe but that's alright
Hush!

Tape my eyes open to force reality
    F                     Gb            Db       Bbm
Why can't you just let me eat my weight in glee?
  F              Gb           Db           Bbm
I live inside my own world of make believe
     F                  Gb          Db       Bbm
Kids screaming in their cradles, profanities
         F            Gb          Db             Bbm
Somedays I feel skinnier than all the other days
         F            Gb              Db
And some days I can't tell if my body belongs to me
 
Chorus:
Bbm    F          Gb
I love everything
     Db              Bbm
Fire spreading all around my room
   F
My world's so bright
     Gb                  Db
It's hard to breathe but that's alright

Hush!

Verse 3:
Bbm     F
I wanna taste your content
Gb               Db
Hold your breath and feel the tension
Bbm         F
Devils hide behind redemption
Gb      Db
Honesty is a one way gate to hell
Bbm     F
I wanna taste consumption
Gbm       Db
Breathe faster to waste oxygen
Bbm          F
Hear the children sing aloud
Gb                Db
It's music 'til the wick burns out

Hush
 
Interlude:
    Bbm            F               Gb               Db
xA|-4---4-------4--3-------3-------4--------4---------------------|
xE|-1-------1------1---------------2----------------1---1-------1-|

Outro:
              Bbm        F
Just wanna be care free lately
Gb           Db
Just kicking up daisies
      Bbm          F
Got one too many quarters in my pocket
Gb             Db
Count 'em like four leaf clovers in my locket
Bbm    F
Untied laces
Gbm          Db
Just tripping on daydreams
  Bbm             F
Got dirty little lullabies playing on repeat
Gb                     Db
Might as well just rot around the nursery and count sheep

Biography

Daniel Virgil Maisonneuve (Sub Urban) was born on October 22, 1999, in Nyack, New York to a French Canadian father and a Taiwanese mother. While raised in the suburbs of Ridgewood, New Jersey, he began producing music at the age of 15. He was trained in classical piano at the age of 6, but quit after claiming that he was “sick of playing other people’s compositions”. In the fall of 2016, Maisonneuve dropped out of high school to pursue his musical career, “isolating” himself to work on various demos and songs.
