F#m C#m F#m C#m
This is the life of a woman with demons
F#m C#m F#m C#m
The first time we met I was sure she was steaming
Dm Dm
This is my life, this is my life
F#m C#m F#m C#m
What a life
F#m C#m F#m C#m
Life isnt precious and life isnt sacred
F#m C#m F#m C#m
Sometimes release only comes when you meet death
Dm Dm
A night of reprieve we were wrecked
F#m C#m F#m C#m
when we slept in the park
Dm Dm
When we woke in the morning you cried
Am Em F G
could I squeeze out the dark
Am Em F G
Destroy the noises that make all the voices
Am Em F G
Get them out of my head
Am Em F G
Bring on the screaming and Ill take your demons
Am Em F Em
now that Im already dead
[same as verse above]
Days of release when she almost felt better
Gradually faded and words couldnt get her
Where is the light, where is the light, get the light
Fearless and clear all her doubts had been cast off
Last night alive is a nightmare Im part of
Dreams are a lie, dreams are a lie
So am I
If thats all there is then I might as well get in the fire
[same as chorus]
Destroy the noises that make all the voices
Get them out of my head
Bring on the screaming and Ill take your demons now that Im already dead
Oh how the rights of the righteous kept coming
Shining before like the day
I stand before them and cried that youre dying your way
F#m C#m F#m C#m F#m C#m F#m
Im still not sure if the right and the wrong side is one
