     F#                A#m
I'm wasted, losing time
      C#                 G# F#
I'm a foolish, fragile spine
F#                      A#m
I want all that is not mine
       G#                 F#
I want him but we're not right

Chorus:
        C#                       A#m
In the darkness I will meet my creators
                              C#          F#
And they will all agree, that I'm a suffocator

I should go now quietly
For my bones have found a place
To lie down and sleep
Where all my layers can become reeds
All my limbs can become trees
All my children can become me
What a mess I leave
To follow
To follow
To follow
To follow

Chorus:
In the darkness I will meet my creators
And they will all agree, that
I'm a suffocator, suffocator, suffocator

    C#
Oh love
             F#              C#
I'm sorry if I smothered you
I'm sorry if I smothered you
Sometimes I wish I'd stayed inside
My mother
Never to come out
