G5                             C9
The light colour in the room
G5                        C9
the sunshine seeping in
G5                             C9
doesn't mix with the black of
G5                         C9
Death's Angel looming in
G5                         C9
I've had enough of these
I want a piece of these (piano version)
      G5                            C9
brutal beatings and name callings
G5                      C9
to lose me to despair
       G5
bruised internally
            C9
eternally

The attention I need is much more serious

a kind of weight you couldn't lift
             D           C9              G5
even if your cheap career depended on it

I need someone much more mysterious
