[Verse 1]
going play of this [F]then I'm to [C]play[Bm][Am]
Hi there Wren, it's been a little while,
did you [Dm]miss me?
You thought you buried me,
[F]didn't you, [Am]Risky?
Cos I always come back,
deep [Dm]down you know that
Deep down you know my
move is in peri[Am]phery
Wren, aren't you pleased
to see [Dm]me?
It's been weeks since we spoke bro,
I know you need me
You're [Am]the sheep,
I'm the shepherd,
not your place to [Dm]lead me
Not your place to be [Am]batting
off the hand that [Am]feeds me
Hi Wren, I've been taking
some time to be dis[E]tant
I've been taking some time to be still
[F]I've been taking some time
[C]to be by myself
Since my therapist told [Am]me I'm ill
And I've been making
some progress lately
[E]And I've learned some new coping skills
[F]So I haven't really needed you much [C]man
I think we need to just step back and chill
[E]Ren, you sound more insane than I [Dm]do
You think that those doctors
are really there to [Am]guide you
Been through this a million times
[Dm]Your civilian mind is so perfect
You're always being [Am]lied to
Okay, take another pill boy
[Dm]Drown yourself in the [Am]sound
of white noise
Follow this 10 step program
Rejoice, [Dm]all your [E]prob
lems will be gone
Fucking [Am]dumb boy
Nah mate, this time is different [E]man trust me
I feel like things might be falling in [F]place
and my music's been kind
of doing [C]bits too like
I actually might do something [Am]great
and when I'm gone maybe I'll be re[E]membered
for doing something special with [F]my self
that's why you don't think that
we should [C]talk man
cuz when you're with me
it never seems to [E]help you think that
you can amputate me
I am you you are me you are I am we we are one split
[E]in two that makes one so you see you gotta kill you
if you wanna kill [Am]me
I'm not leftover dinner
I'm not scraps on the side
oh your [Dm]music is thriving
delusional guy
where's your [Am]top ten hit
where's your interview with [Dm]Oprah,
where are your [Am]Grammys,
Ren? Nowhere!
[Am]Yeah, but my music's
not commercial like [E]that
I never chase numbers, statistics or [F]stats
I never write hooks for the radio,
they [C]never even play me
So why would I concern
myself [Am]with that?
But my music is really connec[E]ted
And the people who find it, [F]re spect it
And for me, that's enough
Cos this [C]life's been tough
So it [E]gives me a [C]purpose I [E]can rest in
Man, you sound so pre[E]tentious
[Dm]Ren, your music is so self -centred
No [Am]one wants to hear another song
about how much you hate [Dm]yourself
Trust me
[Am]You should be so lucky,
having me inside you
to guide you, re[Dm]mind you,
to manage expectations,
provide you per[Am]spective
That thing you neglected, [Dm]I get it,
you wanna be a big deal,
[E]next you meet Hendrix, forget [Am]it
Man it's not like that,
man it's [Dm]just like that,
I'm inside you, you twat
No it's [Am]not man, you're wrong,
when I write I be[Dm]long
Let me break the fourth wall
by acknowledging this song
[Am]Ren sits down,
has a stroke of genius,
[Dm]he wants to write a song that
was not done previous
A [Am]battle with his subconscious,
[E]Eminem did it
Played on guitar, Plan B did [E]it
[Am]Man, you're not original,
you criminal rip [Dm]-off artist
The pinnacle of your success
is stealing other people's mater[Am]ial
Right, mate, we've heard it all before
Uh, [E]she sells seashells [Am]on the seashore
Fuck you, I don't need you,
I don't need to [E]hear this
Cos I'm fine by myself, I'm [F]a genius
And I will be great,
and I [C]will make waves
And I'll shake up the whole
world be[E]neath us
That's right, speak your [E]truth
Your fuck[Dm]ing God complex
leaks out of you
It's refreshing [Am]to ask for you,
say it instead of [Dm]downplay
Uh, music is all about
[E]the creative process
And if people can find something
to relate to within that
then that's just a bonus.
[Am]Fuck you, I'ma fucking kill you,
Well, [Dm]fucking kill me then,
let's fucking have you, Ren.
I'ma [Am]do it, watch me prove it,
who are you to doubt
my music?
Cause I call the shots,
[E]I choose if you die.
Yeah, [F]I call the shots
and so I choose who survives.
[E]I'll tie you [C]up in knots
when I lock you inside.
[E]New[Am]sflas[E]h.[E][Am]
I was created at the dawn of creation.
[E]I a[F]m temptation.
[E]I am the snake in Eden.
I am the [Am]reason for [E]treason.
[C]Be heading all [E]kings, I am sin.
With no rhyme or reason
Son of the [Dm]morning, [E]Lucifer,
Antichrist, father of lies
Mostopheles, [F]truth in a blender,
[F#]de ceitful prete[D]nder
The [G]banished [E]avenger,
the righteous surrender
When [Am]standing in front of my [E]solar eclipse
[Am]My name is stitched to your lips
so you see
I won't bow to the will of a [E]mortal
[Am]Feeble and normal, you wanna kill me?
I'm eternal and mortal
I live in [Bb]every decision
[E]That catalyzes chaos, that cau[C]ses division
I [E]live inside death, a be[Dm]ginning of end
I [Eb]am you, yo[E]u are me, I am you,
[Am]friend[E]
[D][Dm][D][E]
[Bdim][E][Am]
I've been taking some
time to be [E]still[F]
I've been taking some time
to be [C]by myself
And I've spent half my life [Am]ill
But just as sure as the tide starts [E]turning
Just as sure as the night has dawn
[F]Just as sure as the rainfall
[C]soon runs dry
When you stand in an eye of a [Am]storm
I was made to be tested and [E]twisted
I was made to be broken and [F]beat
I was made by his hand
It's all [C]part of his plan
That I stand on my own two [Am]feet
And you know me, my will is etern[E]al
And you know me, you've
met me be[F]fore
Face to face with a beast
I will [C]rise from the east
And I'll settle on the ocean floor
[Am]And I go by many names also[E]
Some people know me as [F]Hope
Some people know me as the [C]voice
That you hear when you loosen
the noose on the [Am]rope
And you know how I
know that I'll [E]prosper?
Cos I stand here beside you today
[F]I have stood in the flames
[C]that cremated my brain
And I didn't once flinch or [Am]shake
So coward the man I've be[E]come
When I sing from the top of my [F]lungs
That I won't retire
I'll [Am]stand in your [C]fire
Inspired by [Am]me to be strong
And when I am gone I will [E]rise
In the music that I left be[F]hind
Ferocious, persistent,
im[C]mortal like you
Irreplacable in different [Am]sides[E][Am]
[E]

[E][Dm][Am][E]
When I was seventeen years old
I shouted out into an empty room
into a blank canvas
that I would defeat the forces of evil
and for the next 10 years of my life
I suffered the consequences
with autoimmunity,
illness and psychosis.
As I got older I realised there
were no real winners
and there were no real [E]losers
in psychological warfare
but there were victims
and there were students.
It wasn't David [E]versus Goliath.
It was a pendulum eternally swaying
[E]from the dark to the light
And the more intensely that the light shone,
the darker the shadow it cast.
It was never really a battle for me to win,
it was an eternal dance.
Like a dance,
the more rigid I became, the harder it got.
The more I cursed my clumsy footsteps,
the more I struggled.
So I got older, and I learned to relax,
and I learned to soften,
and that dance got easier.
It is this eternal dance
that separates human beings from angels,
from demons, from gods.
And I must not forget,
we must not forget,
that we are human beings.
