"He who makes a beast out of himself, gets rid of the pain of bein' a man..."

D5  A♭5 \ D5  D --5-3-5-6^5-3-0--  x 4  (embarque 3e x)

      D5     A♭5       G5    F5     D5    A♭5     G5      F5
      Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay

  d     a♭  \  d (P.M.)
I tri-i-ied to drive all through the night
The heat stroke ridden weather, the barren empty sights

  d    a♭  g       c♯       d       e   \   f         e
  No oasis here to see, the sand is singing deathless words to me

    D5    D5  D5   D5D5   d  G5  G5   d  F5       d C5
    Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone)
                         d F5  F5    d C5     a d   e
    Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction
    My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone)
    No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention

As I-I-I adjust to my new sights
The rarely tired lights will take me to new heights
My hand is on the trigger, I'm ready to ignite
Tomorrow might not make it but everything's all right

  Mental picture follow me, show me what it's like to be set free

    Refrain

So sorry you're not here         I've been sane too long my vision's so unclear
Now take a trip with me but don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem

      Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay
      These eyes won't see the same after I flip today

Sometimes I don't know why we'll rather live than die
We look up towards the sky for answers to our life
We may get some solutions but most just pass us by
Don't want your absolution 'cause I can't make it right         D5 E5

  F5          C5             G5    D5   E5
  I'll make a beast out of myself
  F5          C5              B♭5        A5   A/C♯
  Gets rid of all the pain of being a... man

    Refrain

So sorry you're not here, I've been sane too long my vision's so unclear
Now take a trip with me but don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem
I've known it from the start, all these good ideas will tear your brain apart
Scared but you can follow me, I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die
