[Intro]
 Dm  Bb   A

[Verse 1]

On Cracker Island,
       Dm  Bb  A
it was born
          A
To the collective
       Dm  Bb  A
of the dawn
          A
They were planting
         Dm  Bb  A
seeds at night
          A           Dm  Bb  A
To grow a made-up paradise
          A              Dm
Where the truth was auto-tuned
    Bb   A
(Forever cult)
         A            Dm
And it's sadness I consumed
    Bb   A
(Forever cult)
        A             Dm
Into my formats every day
    Bb   A
(Forever cult)
       A             Dm
In the end, I had to pay
      Bb       A
(What world is this?)
       A             Dm
In the end, I had to pay
   Bb        A
(I purged my soul)
       A             Dm
In the end, I had to pay
   Bb       A
(I drank to riot)
A               Dm
Nothing more to say
   Bb       A
(I drank to riot)

[Chorus]
            A/F
They taught themselves
   A/E  Dm  Bb  A
to be occult
            A/F
They didn't know
    A/E   Dm       Bb  A
its many strategies
            A/F
They taught themsеlves
   A/E  Dm  Bb  A
to be occult
            A/F
They didn't know
    A/E   Dm       Bb  A
its many stratеgies

[Verse 2]
           A/F     A/E    Dm
On Cracker Island, it was raised
      Bb        A
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
          A                Dm
By the collective from the grave
      Bb        A
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
     A              Dm
It only came out at night
      Bb        A
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
       A/F      A/E  Dm
It ate up their paradise
 Bb  A
(Paradise)
          A              Dm
Where the truth was auto-tuned
    Bb   A
(Forever cult)
         A/F     A/E  Dm
And it's sadness I consumed
    Bb   A
(Forever cult)
        A            Dm
Into my formats everyday
    Bb   A
(Forever cult)
       A             Dm
In the end, I had to pay
      Bb       A
(What world is this?)
          A            Dm
Out there on my silver lake
   Bb      A
(I was not there)
       A               Dm
In the end, it will be grey
   Bb        A
(Beneath the hills)
           A                Dm
I'm like a ship between the tides
   Bb    A
(I saw myself)
       A        Dm
I held on, I survived
       Bb     A
(There in the void)
