Intro 2x
Verse 1:
Play intro riff 4x
A sunrise, a black tide’s, rolling in from a cutter’s night
A heartbeat, a mystery, of five fingers cradling
A new pain, a stiff vein, it's blood red in the pouring rain
I can’t feel, the cold steel, peel the skin back and break the seal

Verse 2:
This new fire in my veins
It’s too quiet, I can’t explain
The white pills the fake kills
The screams return and fire at will
You break down and silence the phone
You bite down when no one’s at home
It’s ok to not wanna die alone
'Cause neither does anyone

Verse 3:
It’s too late to crawl off and miss this
I’m so tired of razorblade kisses
My chest gets the best of the carving line
Freedom at anytime
There’s no fear, no boundary lines
No questions, no one to fight
No answers, no coming back this time
Seal it and let it fly
God will you take this away
On your back, carry some weight
A bloody fist, a slit of the wrist, you get
This, freedom from anyone
The cold metal back of my throat
Bite down for the final show
Where you cock it back and pull it fast to get
past and you don’t need anyone, you don’t need anyone, you don’t need anyone
Outro:
Em, Em, Em, D/F
it’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok…
it’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok…
it’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok…
Em (end on Em, let ring)
