Beat the walls of my room, I saw the big room that is this life.

This is my Condition,

Naked and hysterical, reaching to grab a hand that I just slapped back at.
G# E(reg)

This is my Condition

Desperate, alone, without an excuse, tried to explain, Christ what's the use.

Intro:
Verse:
Read and I felt so small, some words keep speaking when you close the book.
Drank and just about smiled, then I remember us in that bed.

Put my ear to the door, I just heard hot rods and gunshots and sirens.
People kill me these days, they have keys in their eyes but they lock from the inside.

Chorus:
