[Intro]
Am Dm Em

[Verse 1]
          Am                              DmThere's a monster walking around in these streets
                 EmWe can't pray him away
       AmIt's a constant threat to us all
            Dm            EmWhy do they sit and stare anyway?
   Am                                         Dm                   EmSo exhausted by the sight at the sound of the sighing and pathetic crowd
      Am                                        DmNever wanted for their breath to be drowned out more than we feel it
      EmRight now

[Pre-chorus]
CTell the king you're fed up with something -
     Dit's him the power's in the sin

[Chorus]
G                              C                         DYou and I are nothing but lies floating through consciousness
GParalyzed by what we despise
CDesperate for vengeance
D               AmNothing of consequence

[Verse 2]
          Am                               Dm              EmWe're all specters, so why do we tell everybody we feel so alive?
       Am                                 Dm                        EmJust a lecture, made for our pride in the knowledge that everything dies

[Pre-chorus]
G                                           DDistraction and pain and repeated refraines make us feel it'll all

Stay the same
    C                                           DBut freedom's in knowing that chaos ain't going away

We're living proof of it

[Chorus]
G                              C                         DYou and I are nothing but lies floating through consciousness
GParalyzed by what we despise
CDesperate for vengeance
DFinding no answers
G                              C                         DYou and I are nothing but lies floating through consciousness
CIt brings us together - looking for answers
DCut out the cancer, now we're the masters

[Bridge]
CSick and tired of voices on fire
GTime to hammer out knives
CTrick's to expire - that's what inspires
GNo exit when you've gone and died
C                                    GSick and tired of sitting around and talking about how awful it is
        AWhat he did
                          DIt's our time to make him pay for his sin

[Chorus]
        G                              C                         DBecause you and I are nothing but lies floating through consciousness
GParalyzed by what we despise
CDesperate for vengeance
DFinding no answers
G                              C                DYou and I are nothing but lies floating through consciousness
CIt brings us together - looking for answers
DNihilist slander
                          AmHe knows who's his master now
