  Every finger in the room is pointing at me.

I got a bowling bowl in my stomach. I got a desert in my mouth.

figures that my courage would chose to sell out now

I've been raising up my hands, drive another nail in

Just what God needs: one more victim.

Why do we  crucify ourselves ever-y-y
G#m   C#m7      F#        C#m7
day I crucify myself. And nothing I do is good

enough for you. Crucify myself ever-y-y
G#m   C#m7      F#       C#m
day I crucify myself. My heart is sick of being
        E
Said my heart is sick of being in

I know a cat named Easter. he says: will you ever learn?

On “drive another nail in” I’m hearing it hold on G#m. And maybe walking down to G#m/F# and then to C#7/E#, before finally going to E on “victim.”
