Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]I clutch the[G] worn out
[Am]year of [G]my [Am]birth
Herded [G#]with the her[Am]d
I whisper [G]through [Em]anemic lips,[Am]
[Em]I wa[Am]s bor[G]n[Am][Em][Am]
And the centuries surround
me with [Em]fire

[Verse 2]
I clutch the [G]worn out [Em]year of my birth
Herded with the herd
I whisper through anemic lips, I was born
And the centuries surround
me with fire
[D][Em]

[Verse 3]
Aortas fill with [G]blood [Em]to cleanse my head[G]
[Dm]To c[Em]lean this feed[G][Em]
Commit to [G]memory [Em]failures
pas[G]t a[Dm]nd our petty[Em] needs
[G]Sup[Em]press t[Dm]he cri[Em]me of time and[G]
[Em]the names that map our i[C]dent[Dm]ity[Em]
[G]'Ca[C]use when t[Em]he fighting stops
[G]our dam[Em]ned souls will rot[G]
We'll [Dm]never [Em]be set free
[G][D][Am][G][Am][C][D]

[Verse 4]
[Am]I'm all out of appea[C]ls now[G]
[Em][G][C][Em][G][Am]
I'm just going [F]to scream
[Dm]now[G]
[Dm][F]

[Verse 5]
[Bb][C]
Old [Am]friends, new war
Stuck in an uneven fight
[G]Old fri[Am]ends, new war
Not dumb enough to close my eyes
[G]Old fri[Am]ends, new war
Still dancing to defective rhymes
[G]Old fri[Am]ends, new war
[Em]The silence

[Verse 6]
of the herd,
[G]Apolog[Em]etic words,
[G]is all[Dm] I eve[Em]r find[G][Em]
And there's no other choice
[G]But to [Em]create some noise[G] and s[Dm]harpen
[Em]up my [G]mind[Em]
'Cause when the cages shrink
I'll be the weakest [C]link on
[Dm]every [Em]fucking [D]chain[G][C]
Can [Em]never [C]pacify this [Em]constant war inside,
[C]All[Dm] the hate[Em] and pain
[G][Em][G][Am][C][D]

[Verse 7]
[Am]I'm all out of appeals[C]
[Em]now[G][Em][G][Am]
I'm just going [F]to scream
[Dm]now[G]
[Dm][F][Bb]

[Verse 8]
[C]
Old [Am]friends, new war
Stuck in an uneven fight
[G]Old fri[Am]ends, new war
Not dumb enough to close my [F]eyes
[G]Old fri[Am]ends, new war
Still plotting 'til the end of night
[G]Old fri[Am]ends, new war

[Verse 9]
[Em]I clutch the worn out year of my birth
Herded with the herd
I whisper through anemic lips,
I was [G]born
And the [Em]centuries surround
me with [Am]fire[Em]
And the centuries surround me with fire
And the centuries surround me with fire
