Hollow Comfort

A E F#m We like to think that life's a dream A E F#m That all that makes us less than's a camera and TV screen A E F#m But what if waking up meant turning yourself off? A E D Would what you're left to live with still be close enough? E Would looking at ourselves through a different kind of lens than F#m D Glass or plastic drive us to the edge of insanity? A E And still that red eye in the sky keeps blinking on and off and on F#m D E A sinking feeling manifested in the dark A We're all uneasy, knowing that we're watched E D Yeah we're uneasy, despеrate to control how we appear to oursеlves E A It's hollow comfort knowing we're not alone E So one by one we all relent, we flip the switch to on F#m D Again and stare into our virtual reality and spend A E An hour then a day and then a month and then a year, F#m D E Until the fear of missing out becomes the clear and present danger in the mirror A G#m F#m So what precautions do you take? F A A poison pill between your teeth? G#m F#m F A A razorblade in pocket pressed against your wrist along a vein? G#m F#m Insurance policies for pain F A The sharpest blanket is the brain G#m D E The softest pistol is unconscious mind in a A State of insecurity E That's what we're made of D Falling through abyss, and reaching out in our doubt E A drink in a drought is someone who knows to tell us what we're about F#m D A E (3x) F#m D E A G#m F#m So what precautions do you take? F A can of gasoline? A G#m A fake identity in pocket? F#m F Cards to vest, your mess to clean up G#m F#m Insurance policies for pain F A The sharpest blanket is the brain G#m D E The softest pistol is unconscious mind in a A State of insecurity E That's what we're made of D Falling through abyss, and reaching out in our doubt E A drink in a drought is someone who knows to tell us what we're about A We're all uneasy knowing that we're watched E D Yeah we're uneasy, desperate to control how we appear to ourselves A drink in a drought E A It's hollow comfort knowing that that's what we're all about
