Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

-------- x2

Verse 1

So the light now

is my weapon

Like a bush dried

withered in the sun

With this spark I'll

 go up in flames

I lay my guns

down but they're

too small to see

It's kinda cute how

I resent to be

Everything but the

 instrument I am

Chorus

 Embrace the empti--ness

 So let it enfold you

 A better life is

what I am after

My first name won't

be my last one

Let the light just

 drip into your eyes

Verse 2

So it's true my

words are contrived

I tell lies just to

get into your mind

I'm as fake as a

 widow's smile

This mask of glass

is what I choose to wear

So I won't ever

have the need to bear

To tell the truth

 to anyone but me

(Repeat Chorus)

Breakdown Growl:

 And I am dead your

eyes are light

Interlude

D--F#m--G--A--

Bridge

 I'm just a bad actor

 stuck with a shitty script

 All of my lines are

 cheap and the cast is weak

 There was no music for

 the first time I got kissed

 There was no femme fatal

 my mistress wasn't rich

 So I've been formatted

 to fit your TV screen

 The film went straight to tape

 I'll bow out quietly

So quietly

So quietly

Outro

Please do this now I beg

Duct tape my arms and legs

Throw me into the sea

 (Please save me please save me)

Please do this now I beg

Duct tape my arms and legs

Throw me into the sea

 (Please save me please save me)

Now watch the waves eat me

Setting my cold heart free

I'll wash the shore in weeks

 (You can't save me can't save)

Now watch the waves eat me

Setting my cold heart free

I'll wash the shore in weeks

 (You can't save me can't save me now
