You want to suffer and show me you're angry,

Fight with your fists up or call for your mommy
G5 A Bm G5 A Bm
You want to suffer and show me you're angry
G5 A Bm
Spend time alone, find a stick in the basement

Drink water and gold dust and live on impatience.
G5 A Bm
Slaughtered for weakness, electric like static
G5 A Bm
Slaughtered, you're weak - there's no need to speak

G5 A Bm
I shouldn't be any great inspiration
G5 A Bm
I never got in your way
G5 A Bm
I should never have to chase you
G5 A Bm
You were the one who ran away
E7 A Bm
If you could feel the pain your confusion has caused me
G5 A Bm
You would have stopped before you spoke
E7 A Bm
Listening to lies, the pain doesn't suit me
E7 A Bm
He gift that you gave me, I put it away
E7 A Bm
I couldn't look at it, it made me think of you
E7 A Bm
You get in the way

Electric like static, and no need to speak.
G5 A Bm
It's not right but it's not wrong
G5 A Bm
So I wrote this song
G5 A Bm
So I wrote this song- is that what you want
E7 A Bm
You got what you want - does it make you feel better?
E7 A Bm
A smirk on your face and a gun at my head,
E7 A Bm
You come to my place and ask to be fed
