[Verse 1]

Opens up her blouse to the cool night

Wait till you see how they're in love
               Am
With my sickness

There is no more time for the weaklings

With an unfamiliar smile
    C                        G/B       Dsus4  D
A self-destructive mind of dark design

      D             Bm7             Em9
We may just live through life
D                         G
Watching it from sweet repose
Gsus2 D            Bm7           Em9   D
Cut     up with knives that slice open

I'm professional now

To the delight of their red piercing beaks

It didn't hurt this time
      Dsus4  D
My dark design

[Pre-Chorus]

They leave her left behind
D                   G
Slits into her all convinced

That she's their favourite way

Practicing

But getting worse
Em Gm/D
So high

[Chorus]

I'm twice coloured
A                  G
Wait till you see
D  F                                 Am           Bb
I made a truce with the blackness dyer
   C        D          A           G
I know colours wait for you
Gm D  G  Em          A    G
I feel so car-sick and alone
