A                           E
A blackout in the room again.
Bm
A busted lip and broken skin.
   A
I wake up in the bathroom
     E
And dare not bother asking
        Bm
Why the mirror's cracked and all I see
Are shards of glass inside of me.

There's voices there to dare me
My father's here to scare me
And my mother, she sits beyond the door
She's curled up crying on the floor
Look at what her son's done

Chorus:
                                          A  E
When the weight of all the world's gone wrong
 Bm
Wrong again
               A E Bm
Gone fucking wrong again

Well, liars they leave a guilty trail
Let me tell you: I've been lying for years
That must be why I'm standing in this space
Constantly, over and over
I'm disregarding that I have created these monsters
That are on both of my sides
So I wipe the blood from both of their eyes
From all four of their eyes

And while I wait for wounds to heal,
I see you by the windowsill
Your heart's torn out, a plastic spoon
When honesty lit up that room
So I stole the pillowcase to clean
This mess I've made of someone's dream
Now you've seen what I've done

Chorus:
When the weight of all the world's gone wrong again
Gone fucking wrong again

             A
This room is old and wise
   E
I fall onto the bed and wonder,
Bm
"How did I get here?"
				        A
The little boy who would argue with a tree
      E
Just go and thump his head!
 	                Bm
And he'll turn back to normal.
Now why is that what I see?

Don't bother trusting me,
don't bother waiting
Don't bother changing things
that won't give into changing
Just let me go away
I'm packed
Down, whenever
Let's go
Let's really, really go
