Verse 1:
Am
Slippin' through my fingertips (Ayy), lingerin'
C
 Shoulda, woulda, coulda, where'd I put the pen? (Woah)
Fmaj7
   Make a list of all my failed attempts

Runnin' out of space again
                       Am
Highlight all the things I wish I never said (Stop)

If feeling makes you stronger, I'm the weakest
      C
That would mean I would have to separate from my beliefs
      Fmaj7
It's not a secret, I'm a puzzle, got a lot of missin' pieces
   Fmaj7
Underneath this strong persona I put on's a kid that's screamin'
       Am
Aren't these waters so deceivin'? (So dеceivin')

They look differеnt, don't they?
C
Well, at least that's how they seem to me
             Fmaj7
'Cause we just drift and drift and drift

Until we see something that we define as peaceful

Grab the needle, shoot reminders in my veins
                Am
That people leave you while I'm driftin'

Verse 2:
Am
Lots of gossip, I've been watchin' you
C
How you're talkin' to yourself is rude
Fmaj7
Driftin' I'm in the same boat as you
Fmaj7
Sinkin', dreamin', screamin' for some truth
   Am
And (My, my) escalator's broke, I'll take the stairs, I guess
C
Climb until I'm outta breath
              Fmaj7
Questioning my every step (Woah)

My train of thought is leading me to different tracks
Fmaj7                      E        Am
Positive that where I'm at is not where I should stay and that's (Why)

Told you look into the mirror and say, "I love you"
  C
Convince yourself that no one in the world would ever want to
Fmaj7
Passin' by the people that have been there to support you
     Fmaj7
From the get-go, disrespectful, drive you mental
               Am
Might get stressful when I'm driftin'

I see you in the distance
    C
Askin' me why I'm so distant, I'm convicted
            Fmaj7
I'm convinced that I predict that all my wishes on my wish list won't be heard
       Fmaj7
'Cause I'm committed to the lie that feeling safe is unrealistic
     Am
When I'm driftin'

Interlude:
| Am   | C   | Fmaj7   | Fmaj7   |


Outro:
Am
 Ignorant to my ignorance

Tell me I'm worth it, God
C
Give me the faith to rise and help me diversify
             Fmaj7
To take a step forward, immersed in my belligerence, amplified

The feelings and words collide
 Fmaj7
Intensified by living a life deprived

I'd rather be burned alive
   Am
Than go back to thinkin' I'm insignificant (Insignificant)
        C
Every impotent moment debated can trigger it

God is my witness definitive
             Fmaj7
Holdin' my head up, there isn't an innocent bone in my body

But that's what gives me the energy lacked
  Fmaj7
To renovate, have to innovate, past intimidates
N.C.
Can't remain afraid
