[D]I'm not a [E]whipper in the wind
[F#]Or solace laying at the bottom [Bm]of a bottle, or your thick skin
[D]Escape yells both [E]our names out loud
[F#]We run like hell, I'll write a [Bm]tragic epilogue and you'll act it out
[D]♪
[E]I watched your [F#]dad give you away
[Bm]I watched him drink the [D]bitter taste in his exertion away
[E]Make up sits on [F#]your face like tar
[Bm]Champagne flutes [D]poorly engineered
[E]Employ Dixie [F#]cups and jars
[Bm]♪
[D]Like minds let [Bm]go of doubt
[A]I watched it [D]blow right out and
[Bm]We danced on [G]gaffs and graves
[D]You'll remain, I will find a [Bm]way to leave gracefully, or I'll escape
[A]♪
[D]I do not [Bm]fall to losing face
[G]I dream, I [A]dive into something greater
[D]Something to take [E]my grief away
[F#]Dead leaves crunch, I [Bm]will not be missed
[D]I fill my jar [E]up to the brim
[F#]I am [Bm]an arid abyss
[D]I'm an [E]arid abyss
