          Em
When the words
  D                 C   D
Weigh heavy on the heart
      Em
I am lost
     D                C  D
And led only by the stars

                 C
Cage me like an animal
                       D
A crown with gems and gold
               C
Eat me like a cannibal
                  D
Chase the neon throne

Chorus:
        Em            D
Breathe in, breathe out
              C
Let the human in
        Em            D
Breathe in, breathe out
           C
And let it in
         Em                    D
Plants awoke and they slowly grow
              C
Beneath the skin
           Em             D
So breathe in, breathe out
               C
Let the humanin

The air is silk
Shadows form a grin
If I lose control
I feed the beast within

Cage me like an animal
A crown with gems and gold
Eat me like a cannibal
Chase the neon throne

Chorus

                C
Cage me like an animal
                       D
A crown with gems and gold
               C
Eat me like a cannibal
                  D
Chase the neon throne
                    Em
If I could only let go
