C F
Tonight I'm posed and popping like a peacock
Dm G
I'm pressing flesh, I'm smiling big, my spinning head sings "Stop, just stop"
F G
Cause what used to calm me down
E Am
Just rips my life to ribbons now
F G C
So I keep smiling, I find my window and quick cut out
C F
These days my hangman's hunger makes my gut kick
Dm
My sleeping mind, could map it blind
G
A flask, A key, A bag, A fifth
F G
I try to will myself away
E Am
While shouting habits plead their case
F G
So when the sun sears through my eyes
E Am
My beggar's brain can't compromise
F G C
I splash cold water, I draw the curtains, I stay inside
C7 E7 Am G F(riff)Dm
And I can't say that it's a sickness, more like a stranger I ask in
C7 E7
And later realize, was a strangler
Am G F(riff)Dm
Slipping nooses in my den
F G E Am
But I was lonely so I asked him, "*Could* you tie that one on me?"
F G C
It wasn't his fault, I was eager, and I was weak
C7 E7
So as I inch towards resolution
Am G F(riff)Dm
Yea I'm not sure which life feels right
C7 E7
A narrow noose or the wading water
Am G F(riff)Dm
The hanging head, sore open eyes
F G
my brother michael he went one way
E Am
And at the fork I heard him say
F G C
"Don't you follow, don't go making my mistakes"
F G
And I realized what he meant
E Am
Don't kill yourself to raise the dead
F G C
It never works you'll only end up joining them
end on C
