Oh, won't you tell me?

Please just tell me.

Explain how this should work.

Well now who could it be,
C G6
That lives inside of me?

I'm broken, lying helpless, shattered

Surrounded by the world
Em C
And yet, you're smiling bright

Completely blind to life
Em C D Em D C Em
[Verse 2]

My ruptured lungs; they were left this way

For once, I'm out of breath.

The truth I seek, never felt so bleak but,

I maintain my depth...

Freeze.

I'm breakable, unbreakable

I'm shaking yet, unshakable
Am G6 Bm
Until the day that you find me.
[Chorus]

I'll stand here Existing and feeling wretched* existence
Em Bm
Consuming life-force til I grow distant
C D Em G6
Don't bother searching for somebody like me. (A fading no one.)
C D
I don't want to hurt you, It's not my nature.
Em Bm
A monster born from dusk to dawn can't be your savior
C D
Remember the 'me', the way I used to be.
Em
...As who I still Should be
[Verse 3]

The isolation spreads and tears

Those happy /days, pierce into me

At once, I start changing,

Yet everything’s remaining

Until these hands “contaminate” you
[Chorus]

Consuming life-force til I grow distant

This lonely space, held into place by someone crazy

Shall melt away like dawn to day as things get hazy

With changing inside I’m completely paralyzed

Remember the 'me', the way I used to be.
C Em C Em
Oh, won’t you tell? Oh, please just tell…
C Em D Em (strum once)
Just who's inside of me? The monster pulling strings.
