[Verse 1]
Bm
What’s my problem?

Well, I want you to follow me down to the bottom
Underneath the insane asylum

Keep your wits about you while you got ’em

‘Cause your wits are first to go while you’re problem-solving
G
And my problem?
We glorify those, even more, when they
Bm
My opinion
Our culture can treat a loss
F#m
Like it’s a win and right before we turn on them
A                                                                       E7
We give them the highest of praise, and hang their banner from a ceiling
G
Communicating, further engraving
An earlier grave is an optional way
No

Don’t get it twisted
F#m
It’s with the people we praise who may have assisted
A
I could use the streams and extra conversations
E7
I could give up, and boost up my reputation
G
I could go out with a bang
They would know my name
They would host and post a celebration
Bm
My opinion will not be lenient
F#m
My opinion, it’s real convenient
A
Our words are loud, but now I’m talking action
E7
We don’t get enough love?
Well, they get a fraction
G
They say, “How could he go if he’s got everything?”
I’ll mourn for a kid, but won’t cry for a king

[Chorus]
Bm                     F#m
Neon gravestones try to call
(Neon gravestones try to call)

Neon gravestones try to call for my bones

[Bridge]
A
But they won’t get them
Bm
No, they won’t get them
Em
They won’t get them
D
But they won’t get them

[Verse 3]
A
Don’t get me wrong
The rise in awareness
Bm
Is beating a stigma that no longer scares us
Em
But for sake of discussion
In spirit of fairness
D
Could we give this some room for a new point of view?
A
And, could it be true that some could be tempted
Bm
To use this mistake as a form of aggression?
Em
A form of succession?
A form of a weapon?
D
Thinking “I’ll teach them”
Well, I’m refusing the lesson
A
It won’t resonate in our minds
Bm
I’m not disrespecting what was left behind
Em
Just pleading that “it” does not get glorified
D
Maybe we swap out what it is that we hold so high
A
Find your grandparents or someone of age
Bm
Pay some respects for the path that they paved
Em
To life, they were dedicated
D
Now, that should be celebrated
