D#m                C#               G#
Oh please, don’t attempt to placate me
G#                                         D#m
Or decide in advance how the Chorus should go
D#m             C#                     G#
Pure fear is a common theme throughline
G#                                         D#m
Most don't even hope to approach the threshold

D#m          C#              G#
An old soul cries like a baby,
                            D#m
I still willfully ignorant live
D#m          C#                G#
I paint the walls in slim shady,
                               D#m
hell stalls forever whatever it is
D#m            C#               G#
It got bad, it got so bad lately,
                             D#m
wildfires underperform centerfolds
D#m          C#              G#
To inflate exaggerate greatly,
                                       F#
stoke fear to drive the directionless home

Chorus:
D#m                 C#                G#
I thought this was just what everyone did
D#m                 C#               G#
I thought this was just how everyone lived
D#m                 C#                G#
I thought this was just what everyone did
D#m                 C#               G#
I thought this was just how everyone lived

Oh please, don't attempt to placate me
Tall Hallmark phrases that roll off the tongue
Reframe a regrettable outcome
Stimulate a forgettable doll when you're done

They're all teeth the cowardly bite me
Imitation, the worst kind of flattery
Kids in cold blood on the bullet train take me
I can kill with my eyes and I'm murdering

Chorus

D#m            C#           G#
Off that axis, got here solo,
D#m         C#           G#
Me and my reverse vertigo
D#m            C#           G#
Off that axis, got here solo,
D#m         C#           G#
Me and my reverse vertigo,  oh woah

Chorus

let's go
