[Intro]
Am Dm Em
[Verse 1]
Am Dm
There's a monster walking around in these streets
Em
We can't pray him away
Am
It's a constant threat to us all
Dm Em
Why do they sit and stare anyway?
Am Dm Em
So exhausted by the sight at the sound of the sighing and pathetic crowd
Am Dm
Never wanted for their breath to be drowned out more than we feel it
Em
Right now
[Pre-chorus]
C
Tell the king you're fed up with something -
D
it's him the power's in the sin
[Chorus]
G C D
You and I are nothing but lies floating through consciousness
G
Paralyzed by what we despise
C
Desperate for vengeance
D Am
Nothing of consequence
[Verse 2]
Am Dm Em
We're all specters, so why do we tell everybody we feel so alive?
Am Dm Em
Just a lecture, made for our pride in the knowledge that everything dies
[Pre-chorus]
G D
Distraction and pain and repeated refraines make us feel it'll all
Stay the same
C D
But freedom's in knowing that chaos ain't going away
We're living proof of it
[Chorus]
G C D
You and I are nothing but lies floating through consciousness
G
Paralyzed by what we despise
C
Desperate for vengeance
D
Finding no answers
G C D
You and I are nothing but lies floating through consciousness
C
It brings us together - looking for answers
D
Cut out the cancer, now we're the masters
[Bridge]
C
Sick and tired of voices on fire
G
Time to hammer out knives
C
Trick's to expire - that's what inspires
G
No exit when you've gone and died
C G
Sick and tired of sitting around and talking about how awful it is
A
What he did
D
It's our time to make him pay for his sin
[Chorus]
G C D
Because you and I are nothing but lies floating through consciousness
G
Paralyzed by what we despise
C
Desperate for vengeance
D
Finding no answers
G C D
You and I are nothing but lies floating through consciousness
C
It brings us together - looking for answers
D
Nihilist slander
Am
He knows who's his master now
