B
Nobody thinks what I think,
Nobody dreams when they blink
                      E
Think things on the brink of blasphemy
I'm my own shrink
Think things are after me, my catastrophe
G#m
I'm a kitchen sink,
you don't know what that means
           F#
Because a kitchen sink to you
Is not a kitchen sink to me, OK friend?
B
Are you searching for purpose?
Then write something, yeah it might be worthless
E
Then paint something then, it might be wordless
Pointless curses, nonsense verses
G#m
You'll see purpose start to surface
No one else is dealing with your demons
F#
Meaning maybe defeating them
Could be the beginning of your meaning, friend.

Chorus:
C#m  D#m       G#m     F#       C#m
Go away, go away, go away, go away
           D#m            G#m             F#
Leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone,
           B
leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone

Nobody thinks what you think, no one
Empathy might be on the brink of extinction
They will play a game and say
They know what you're going through
And I tried to come up with
an artistic way to say

They don't know you, and neither do I
So here's a prime example of a stand up guy
Who hates what he believes and loves it
at the same time
Here's my brother and his head's screwed up
But that's alright.

Time gains momentum
the moment when I'm living in 'em
I'm winning a momentary
sinning a moment passing after
A re-beginning moments mending memories
Pretending enemies are friend of me,
sending me straight to bending me
My bad behavior but I bet
I could have been a better man
Copy and paste caught me, and copy,
better rhymes bother me
The better the rhythm the badder
I am but I bet I'll battle with 'em battle
better I am, Gambling man, better bet
I am a gambling man, I am?

Chorus

Leave me alone
Don't leave me alone
