[Intro: Tilian]
Em                             C
Used to be so judgemental
G
Now I respect the ones
D
Who dare to be sinful
Em                                                 C
Always searching for my pride
G
Now I know it’s all fleeting
D
Just glad to be alive

[Verse 1: Jon Mess]

Pretty sure it’s sparrow furnace, trying to find my making
G
Got mistakes and branching outings
D
Switching off my maker
Em                                                                 C
The more I try to sleep it off, the more I started thinking
G                                                                                 D
I wanna live in my self-portrait, others drink and shrieking

[Pre-Chorus: Tilian]
C
You’re salty, can’t fault you
D
Unknown to the rhythm that guides you
C                                                 D
Take all your confetti away

[Chorus: Tilian]
Em                 C                 G
I know, I know it’s killing me
D
Don’t need your love or sympathy
Em                 C                                 G
I know, I know just what you say
D
Don’t you try to rescue me

I know magic turtle gutters filler lightning sprap
G                                                                 D
We need to spend some time alone to understand this path
Em                                                                                 C
There’s different types of ways that makes our mind is sewn in two
G                                                                 D
Addicted in formation and it starts it out for you

[Pre-Chorus 2: Tilian]

Won’t fight you, not like you

But unknown to the rhythm that guides you

I’ll take your confetti away

[Chorus: Tilian]

I know, I know just what you say

Don’t you try to rescue me

Now you’re on a midnight crusade

Flexing your stats

Tell me how to think my own way

You can give it your best

I’m living to die I put meat on it too
Em                                   D                                 D/F#
My bitches is pregnant and throwing up food
C
I’m smoking a chicken I took off the coop
C
Show off addiction and make itself fix it
C
I’m selling art if you’re dead in the park
C
Feel like I’m dead show em your head
C
Give up your life for the virtual clock
C
Show off the women, then watch them appear
C
Now you’re a sparrow, let’s share us the lyricists
