G
Take me away
          C
From the demons in my brain
         Em
Take me out into the world
         F                         G    C
Take me out into the day and let me find
           G   C
My piece of mind

I was alone
I was taken with the tide
But I knew that I was home
When I looked into your eyes and said I'm done
Just let me go

Chorus:
     C/G
I am hollow
I am numb
      Em                              F C
I am staring down the barrel of this gun
     C/G
I am always by myself
      Em
In a sea of self infliction
        F C
That I felt

My life is a line burning faster every time
Happy is just a dead-end street
I must turn around and leave once in a while
Once in a while

I bear far more cracks
Than the human eye can see
Is it fair to be perplexed
And try explain what's underneath with my success?
'Cause there's nothing left

Chorus:
I am tortured by myself
I am haunted by the fear of someone else
And I am fading, I am a ghost
Disconnected from the things I love the most

Am              G
You’ve seen my best
             Em
Turn to the worst
I’ve dragged you
F
Right down with me
Am          G
Want to confess
               Em
But with the stress
F
I’m scared you’d leave me
Am              G
I want you to know
               Em             F
But you can’t take it on your own

Chorus:
I am hollow, I am numb
I am staring down the barrel of this gun
I am always by myself
In a sea of self-infliction that I felt
