[Verse 1: Ren]
A                                    C#m
I don’t feel safe in this bed
A                     C#m
There are voices in my head
A                              C#m
I’ve been talking to the dead
F#m
And the fear baptized me
A                              C#m
My kingdom turned to dust
A                                            C#m
And I watched all my riches rust
A                              C#m
Have I lost the Midas’ touch?
F#m
Or do sad eyes blind me?

[Chorus: both]
A                              C#m
Over and over we go
A                              C#m
Over the hills and the valleys bellow
A                                            C#m
Oh, and it follows me, follows me home
F#m                              C#m
And it suffocates me, hmmm

[Post-Chorus: both]
A
Oh, I can’t breath
C#m
I said oh, I can’t breath
A                C#m                F#m
All I know is I forgot how to be me

[Verse 2: Ren, both]
A                              C#m
I don’t feel safe in the halls
A                              C#m
There are bruises on the walls
A                                            C#m
There are bodies in the floors
F#m
And they breathe so loudly
A                              C#m
I wish I could move
A                                            C#m
Get up and walk right out this tomb
A                              C#m
Do our saviours die too soon?
F#m
For my sins surround me

A                              C#m

Over the hills and the valleys below. (Over the hills and the valleys below)
A                                            C#m
Oh, and it follows me, follows me home. (Follows me, follows me)

And it suffocates me, hmmm

Nothing is pulling me through

I forgot how to be me

[Outro: Ren]
A                              C#m
When he gave up the fight
A                                             C#m
A quick decision late in the night

That stayed with me for all of my life
F#m
I miss you so
