Introduction:
C5 Eb5 C5 B5 D5 C5 Eb5 C5 D5 B5 C5 Eb5 C5 B5 D5 C5 Eb5 C5
There's a beast in e_very man who breathes With him from birth until beside him in the grave
B5 D5 C5 Eb5 C5 B5 D5 C5 Eb5 C5 B5 C5
A hi_deous presence just aching for release
D5 C5 Eb5 C5 B5 D5 C5 Eb5 C5 B5 C5 D5 C5 Eb5
Its chains aren't as strong as its memo__ry It lies dormant so far from dead
Bridge
C5 Eb5
Its whisper like branches as they bend
Twisting, grinding just threatening to snap
C5 Eb5 Gb5 F5
Floods of frustration, cascading in my skull
C5 Eb5 Gb5 F5
On the axis back and forth, the swinging pendulum
C5 Eb5 Gb5
So much damage, bashing each wall
F5 C5 Eb5 Gb5 F5 C5
I hear the sand pounding in the hourglass as it falls
Pre-Chorus
C5 Eb5 C5 B5 C5 D5 C5 Eb5 C5 B5 D5 C5
Off, off The endless rage that tells me something's
C5 Eb5 C5 B5 C5 D5 C5 Eb5 C5 B5 D5 C5
Off, off The voice that's spitting lies, just turn it
C5 Eb5 C5 B5 C5 D5 C5 Eb5 C5 B5 D5 C5
Off, off Tear away the scabs, I want them
C5 Eb5 C5 B5 C5 D5 C5 Eb5 C5 B5 D5 C5
Off, off The demon on my back, just pull him off
Bridge
Eb5
There it is again, telling you you can't
That lump in your throat, you fight to swallow back
C5 Eb5
There it is again, hoping that you won't
Wishing failure but not giving up the ghost
C5 Eb5 Gb5 F5
Silent voices, stabbing at peace
C5 Eb5 Gb5
Pushing off fingers from the ledge of sanity
F5 C5 Eb5 Gb5 F5
Like a thousand leeches, feeding on your wits
C5 Eb5 Gb5 F5
Making something meaningless seem significant
Pre-Chorus
C5
Sometimes I just wish I could shut it all
Chorus
C5 Eb5 C5 B5 C5 D5 C5 Eb5 C5 B5 D5 C5
Off, off The endless rage that tells me something's
C5 Eb5 C5 B5 C5 D5 C5 Eb5 C5 B5 D5 C5
Off, off The voice that's spitting lies, just turn it
C5 Eb5 C5 B5 C5 D5 C5 Eb5 C5 B5 D5 C5
Off, off Tear away the scabs, I want them
C5 Eb5 C5 B5 C5 D5 C5 Eb5 C5 B5 D5 C5
Off, off The demon on my back, just pull him off
verse 4
Eb5 Gb5 F5 C5
This uninvited guest inside my brain
Eb5 Gb5 F5 C5
With every threat whispered I feel no__thing
Eb5 Gb5 F5 C5
And when I'm at my best it inter__venes
Eb5 Gb5 F5 C5
How can I get anyone else to relate
Interlude
C5 Eb5 C5 B5 C5 D5 C5 Eb5 C5 B5 C5 D5 C5 Eb5 B5 C5 D5 C5 Eb5 C5 B5 D5 C5
Silent voices, stabbing at peace On the edge, pushing my fingers off,
Eb5 C5 B5 D5 C5 Eb5 C5 B5 D5 C5 Eb5 C5 B5 D5
off
C5 Eb5 C5 B5 D5 C5
Chorus
C5 Eb5 C5 B5 C5 D5 C5 Eb5 C5 B5 D5 C5
Off, off The endless rage that tells me something's
C5 Eb5 C5 B5 C5 D5 C5 Eb5 C5 B5 D5 C5
Off, off The voice that's spitting lies, just turn it
C5 Eb5 C5 B5 C5 D5 C5 Eb5 C5 B5 D5 C5
Off, off Tear away the scabs, I want them
C5 Eb5 C5 B5 C5 D5 C5 Eb5 C5 B5 D5 C5 Eb5 C5 D5 B5 C5
Off, off The demon on my back, just pull him off
