             A      E      B
Another day wasted out of time
I can't get out of this
A         E       B
Altered state of mind
I'm going overboard
    A          E
My conscience meets
    B
decline Into Reality
    A        E        F#
I know this can't be fine

Chorus:
          E    A     B
Cause I'm all messed up
         E
Making prefect nonsense
  A             B         A
Drowning in my doubt too well
          E    A     B
Cause I'm all messed up
       E
Going nowhere fast
     A
but circles in my
 B        A
mind So blind

Who are these voices in my head?
I can't go on like this
Living like the dead
I haven't slept so long
Feeling sad I dread
I'm talking to myself
Forgot what I just said

Chorus

        E         B/D#
Well I hold my only
C#m        A            B
enemy as closely as a friend
    B/D# E         B/D# C#m
And I   sold my own reality
    A             B
to further my descent
   B/D# E         B/D#
Selfdestruction taking
C#m           A          B
over it's so easy to pretend
 B/D# E          B/D#
Introduction to this
C#m
nightmare can you
 A              B
seize may never end

Can anyone help me drag my heels?
I'm running overtime
I can't hold down my meals
My mind is racing by
Staring blankly feels
Like pulling out my teeth
While this engine winds

Chorus
