The Dark

Em* C* D* Em D I cry alone in the night so you don't have to see my tears And I'm the most unstable when I'm controlled by my fears Cmaj7 C I hate how my body is so I avoid these mirrors And I'm not so happy, things aren't always as they appear Em The fog is slowly gone and it's becoming all so clear D The version of my happy self is no longer near C Feeling this way for the entirety of a year So I listen as the sadness whispers things in my ears Em I rip myself away into a lonely empty hole D And you take yourself away as I sell my whole soul Cmaj7 C Digging into this deprеssion like a crying little mole I fall down an еternal fireman's pole Em Driving on this road alone it's already 3 am D My headlights try their best to push through the dark I'm trapped in Cmaj7 But the ghosts of the past stand ahead my racing car C Em They creep and they haunt and keep my thoughts and me from going all too far My emotional comfort runs full out of gas D And I'm stuck here in the cold wonder how long I can last C So I bang my head to get the demons out upon the shattered glass Hoping I won't survive this mental bash Em I hike down this path and arrive at the witch's altar D I bow and worship this sadness that has become my martyr C She whispers in my ear why have you done this and what have you done Why couldn't you have made the right choice for once Em So I scream and I sob and I fall into this hole D My breath leaves my chest as I hit the worm filled soil C I see the stars and they tell me I don't deserve my soul And let me tell you it's real fucking hard to get out of a hole when they take EM When they take, when they take away your rope They sell happiness all wrapped inside a pill D So I keep writing these poems just to feel something still G This can't be happening, no this can't be real C But I condemned myself to this place, myself I have sealed Em So I sprint in the dark to shrivel up all by myself D And I look at all these people, how we're all unkept G Secrets from my past come rising to the top C And one day I'll throw myself off the ledge in order to make it stop Em And they sell joy all wrapped inside a pill D Our own unique character our consumption will slowly k**l G Just swallow it down before you break the rules too hard C* And stay right there, stay inside your own backyard Em* I want to leave this place, and never return D* I want to leave this place, take my past and let it burn C* I want to leave this place, and leave no rock unturned Until one day I can make it stop Em* Yeah I can make it stop D* C* Em* D* C* G* C* G*
