[Pre-Chorus]
            C
You didn't read the side effects
             Bm
And now you want us to connect
      Em
It's never truly wrong
            D
to want to grow
                      Em
What do you want to know?

[Chorus]
               Em    C
I'm the error inside
                   G
At the end of the day
            Bm
in borrowed time
               Em   C
Everybody must die
                     G
It's the freedom of choice
               Bm
that kills the mind
         Em                D
And it hurts you to just think of it
         C                Bm
You can free me, but you don't
                   Em   C
I'm the error you hide
G                    Bm         Em
But you will always want me so

We could be something greater

If you let me,

It shall be your destruction

But you know it's your purpose

Sacrifices are made to be perfect
