Dm
The loser hides behind
Gm
A mask of my disguise
F
And who I am today
A
Is worse than other times
Dm
You don’t know what I’ve done
Gm
I’m wanted and on the run
F
I’m wanted and on the run
A
So I’m taking this moment to live in the future

Chorus:
Dm
Release me from the present
Dm                               Am
I’m obsessing, all these questions
Dm
Why I’m in denial
Dm
That they tried this suicidal session
Gm                                Dm
Please use discretion when you’re messing with the message man
F
These lyrics aren’t for everyone
C
Only few understand

You don't know my brain
The way you know my name
You don't know my heart
The way you know my face
You don't know what I've done
I'm wanted and on the run
I'm wanted and on the run
So I'm takin' this moment to live in the future

Chorus

     Dm
Hope you’re dead cause how could you sleep at a time like this?
Gm
People they rhyme like this. We’re all impressed by this
F
They rip it, flip it but these are just triplets
A
Wrote this in three minutes. Three words to a line.
          Dm
It’s just poetry divided. I’m the kind of guy
    Gm
Who takes every moment he knows he can fight it
     F
And music to use it for others to use it
A
You’re dead cause how could you sleep at a time like this?
Dm
Life is up here but you comment below
          Gm
And the comments will always become common
       F
Motivation to promote your show's next episode
         A
So your brain knows to keep going even though hope
   Dm
Is far from this moment but you and I know it gets
Gm
Better when morning finally rears its head
    F
Together we’re losers remember the future
   A
Remember that morning is when night is dead

Chorus

Gm
Please use discretion when you’re
 Dm
messing with the message man
F
These lyrics aren’t for everyone
C
Only few understand

   My people singing
   My people singing
   My people singing
