Cm G#
So...
        G            A# Cm
You've given it all you can
And your life is in the garbage can

        A#                   Cm
And you say you're tired and dry
'Cause your mind won't let you cry

        G#                    A#
So you hang up what is left inside
         G#             A#     Cm
And you want to kiss it all goodbye

        Cm
You're lost in space, you're swirling ever higher
       D#           A#           D#           A#
You're lost on your own, you're too far from home
You're no ones friend, you gave it your best try yeah!
You're stuck in the drone, of being alone

You turn to light, but all you get is darkness
Your head turns to stone, your numbness has grown
You're stuck inside your little world of rejects
The good world unknown, you're stuck in the drone
