[Am]

[Verse 1]
Don't [Am]wanna be [Em]awake[Am]

Concise uneasy eyes

when [Dm]you don't

[Interlude 2]
[Am][C][G][C][Am][F][Am]

[Verse 3]
I wanna shed [Em]my skin

Will you [G]pacify me?
Lights out, we'll see what [Bm]lies beneath
[Am]Who are

[Verse 4]
all these [Em]people in the [F]back of
my [Dm]mind? (I wanna [Am]run away)
They shout when I sleep and when I [Em]close my
eye[F]s they're all I can s[G]ee[Am]
Who are all these [Em]people in the [F]back of my
[Dm]mind? (I wanna run [Am]away)
Distance, if [Em]you don't keep it
Wait [F]till the light's out,
then you'll [G]see [Am]me

[Verse 5]
These [Am]words don't recti[F]fy [Am]our plight
Are you satisfied this time?
If we're still in harm's [G]way[Am]
Do not resus[C]citate [Am]me

[Verse 6]
I wanna shed my [Am]skin
[C]I wanna see who I r[Em]eally am
[C]I wanna s[Em]wim with all that
[F]drags me in every [Am]time
I wanna escape, I can't take the great [Em]divide
[C]I've seen all I need to [Em]see
If only we can take a leap of faith to
bey[F]ond the surface

[Verse 7]
We'll see what lies beneath
[Am]Who are all these people in the [Em]back [F]of
my mind? (I wanna [Dm]run [Am]away)
They shout when I sleep and when [Em]I close my
eyes they're all [F]I can s[Dm]ee[Am]
Who are all these [Em]people in the [F]back of my
[Dm]mind? (I wanna [Am]run away)
They shout when I sleep and when I [Em]close my
eye[F]s they're all I can see
[G][Am]

[Verse 8]
Who are all these [Em]people in the [F]back of my
[Dm]mind? (I wanna run [Am]away)
Distance, if you don't [Em]keep it
Wait [F]till the light's out,
then you'll [G]see [Dm]me
[Am]

[Verse 9]
I'm the face in the river,
reflection in the mirror that made you turn
I'm the creature at the end of the bed
I'm a projection of the thoughts
in your head
(Don't wanna be awake) I'm the million different effigies
trapped under your skin that make you burn
(Don't wanna be awake) I'll be the beat in your pulse when I'm beatin' you to a pulp,
one day you'll learn
(Don't wanna be awake) I'm the voice of the people,
the speaker of evil
Cemetery of sound,

[Interlude 4]
but tonight this is my battleground
[Am]

[Verse 10]
[Am]Tonight this is my battleground

[Outro 1]
Bang your fucking head
[Am][Am][Am]
