    Fm
The world might end, The night might fall.
 D#
Rain on down and cover us all,
     Fm                              A#m
And drown us with the burdens of our sins.
Fm
Maybe I'll look you in the eye,
G#
Tell you, you don't wanna die.
D#                                       C
Maybe I'll hold my breath and jump right in.
D#                                      Fm
Maybe I'll hold my breath and jump right in.

F
I never saw you coming from inside
my little prison,
     D#                             F
Your autograph would really buy me time.
         F
If you think you are the reason,
Give me something to believe in.
     D#                               F
It's always darkest right before the dawn.
     D#                               F
It's always darkest right before the dawn.

Chorus:
A#m                     C#
I confess I've lost control,
          F#                     D#
I let my guard down,  I let the truth out.
A#m                     C#
I confess I've lost control,
          F#                     D#
I let my guard down,  I let the truth out.

A final celebration
A bad hallucination
Flip a coin and see which way I fall
The charlatan is singing
We love to watch him killing
And suffer through a never ending day
Suffer through a never ending day

Chorus:
I can feel I've lost control
I let my guard down
I let the truth out
Oh I can feel I've lost control
You let your guard down
You let the truth out

I was trapped like a prisoner in my skin
I was punished like an animal for my sins
I was bound and I was caged and I was tricked
And I was suffocating
I was suffocating

Chorus:
I can feel I've lost control
Oh I concede we've lost control
I was suffocating
I confess I've lost control
And I was suffocating
I was suffocating
I concede we've lost control
Feel my hunger
Feel my hunger

I was suffocating
