(G) Your blades are sharpened with precision
    d                               c
    Flashing your favorite point of view
    I know you're waiting in the distance
    Just like you always do, just like you always do

      b♭
      Already pulling me in
      f
      Already under my skin

        Let you cut me open, just to watch me bleed
                      B♭             F            C
        Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be
        Don't know why I'm hoping for what I won't receive
        Falling for the promise of the emptiness machine

    'Cause there's a fire under the altar
    I keep on lying to, I keep on lying to

    I only wanted to be part...
