The Silicone Veil

      Gm    Bb         Dm
I’m a larva wrapped in silk
     Gm Bb    F       C
i am dying in burning flesh
       Gm     Bb    Dm
let me out, let me ache
       Gm     Bb    F       C
let me out, let me ache and itch
       Gm     Bb    Dm
get me out of this suit
       Gm     Bb   F    C
i go to a funeral every day
   Gm          Bb     Dm
i follow these people around
   Gm          Bb           F      C
i follow these people like a rat’s tail

   Gm          Bb         Dm             C
i carry their caskets, i sing them good night
         Gm    Bb      Dm   C
they’re better off without me

C         Gm     F
beauty is poisonous
Bb F Gm
disruptive
C                 Gm   F
heaven must be an iron rose
Bb F Gm
Unfolding

    C                 Gm          C           Gm
oh, let me in, let me out, let me in, let me out!
C Gm

Gm         Bb    Dm
this is a retirement
      Gm          Bb       F        C
from plumbing the veins of rats and kings
        Gm    Bb    Dm
let the stars be my eyes then
            Gm           Bb       F           C
unchain the knuckles and latches, unbutton my wrists

   Gm      Bb               Dm             C      
my skin so thin you can see black holes within
   Gm      Bb          Dm          C
my eyes so clear they light up the sky
   Gm                   Bb        Dm       C
and sometimes i’ll bend into the silicone veil
     Gm        Bb      Dm       C
and enter this world again as a ghost

C         Gm    F
beauty is poisonous
Bb F Gm
disruptive
C                 Gm   F
heaven must be an iron rose
Bb F Gm
Unfolding

    C                 Gm          C           Gm
oh, let me in, let me out, let me in, let me out!
C Gm
