[Verse 1]
Dm F
I can feel the walls closing in
Dm F
And I don't want to talk anymore
Dm F
Wish I could quietly slip away
Dm F
And leave you here with no void
Dm F
The only reason I stay is to care for you
Dm F
Everything else in me has atrophied
Dm F
I am cold and painless now
Dm F
I want to live but I feel nothing
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm Dm
When can I die? When can I go?
Bb Dm
When will I be free? When will I know?
Gm Dm
When can I run? My legs are bound
Bb Dm
When can I go? When can I go?
[Verse 2]
Dm F
Was born a blackened seed in the wild
Dm F
And I never was a child
Dm F
I was pulled right out of the sea
Dm F
And the salt, it never left my body
Dm F
Someone opened me up while I was sleeping
Dm F
And filled my body right up with sand
Dm F
I carry a heaviness like a mountain
Dm F
It forces me to remain
Dm
Alive and ugly
F
Alive and ugly
Dm
Alive and ugly
F
Alive and ugly
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm Dm
When can I die? When can I go?
Bb Dm
When will I be free? When will I know?
Gm Dm
When can I run? My legs are bound
Gm Dm
Can I leave here, knowing you'll be strong without me?
[Chorus]
Gm
They'll clap when you die
Bb
They'll love you when you're dead
Dm
And they'll understand
F
And you'll be forgiven then
Gm
They'll clap when you die
Bb
They'll love you when you're dead
Dm
And they'll understand
F
And you'll be forgiven then
Gm
They'll clap when you die
Bb
They'll love you when you're dead
Dm
And they'll understand
F
And you'll be forgiven then
Gm
They'll clap when you die
Bb
They'll love you when you're dead
Dm
And they'll understand
F
And you'll be forgiven then
