The Prophet

Dm                        C
I've already told you I'm not a 
reflection
Dm                    C          
so stop using me as a mirror for 
    Bb
yourself.
         C               Bb
You must really hate yourself.

Dm                               
How many times have I proved I'm not
C
 here to threaten?
Dm                    C          
The demon you mean to kill is in 
    Bb
yourself
           C                 Bb
but you're attacking someone else.

Dm       C  Dm      C      Dm 
You need to believe we are 
      C        Am   Bb
lost without your wisdom
    Dm  C     Dm   C      Dm   
but you can't feel who is 
     C      Am Bb
caught up in the middle.

[Chorus]
               Dm                  
You say what's "good" for all, but 
       C
what's "good" for you?
    Am                           
You compare me to a drug. Well, I 
     Bb
can do that to you.
    Dm                       C
You say it's for him and you know 
it's for you.
          Am                      
You can't stand to see someone as 
Bb
wanted as you
         Dm                       
from his eyes that are tired from 
C
this bickering.
    Am                      Bb
I'd kill myself now if that tiger 
could sing
           Dm                     
but you're speaking for him and I 
C
don't live for you.
        Am                     
You can dodge all you want then 
       Bb
claim I'm dodging you.

[Verse]
Dm                        C
I've already told you I'm not a 
reflection
Dm                    C          
so stop using me as a mirror for 
    Bb
yourself.
         C               Bb
You must really hate yourself.

Dm                                
No, this is not the first time 
  C
I've dealt with projection.

    Dm                  C  
The girl I loved struck me a 
           Bb
crippled spell
             C            Bb
but couldn't see the parallels.

    Dm  C       Dm  C         
You wanted more power because 
Dm       C           Am  Bb
you once thought you had none,
    Dm C       Dm C       Dm   
but over compensation can only 
C        Am Bb
fuck the balance.

[Chorus]
            Dm                     
You say I'm bad for him, but that's
 C
 you to me.
        Am                
Try and claim that's not a 
                 Bb
self-fulfilling prophecy.
    Dm                         C
You say you're all-knowing but you 
fail to see
            Am                
we all know psychotherapy is a 
 Bb
bullshit degree
   Dm                   C
to use as an excuse for what you 
say.
             Am                  
You could be fighting either side 
         Bb
and justified the same way but
Dm                       C
cycling through synonyms keeps it 
the same.
        Am                        
You can put up your wall then say I 
Bb
ran away.

Dm                        C

           C                 Bb
but you're attacking someone else.

   Bm           D                
So motherfucker answer me when I 
Bm                   D
speak to you. You're not thirteen.
       Bm              D          
You're forty-four. You should know
           E
 more than me.

Bm             D                 
Every time you laugh at me, 
     Bm                D
there's a piece of you that sees 
between
       Bm            D            
the conceited, condescending words
     E
 you speak.

Bm                   D           
I did not steal your life and I 
          A
can govern mine
                  E                
and still you criticize when you're
    Bm
 no better.
Bm                          D    
Once more you've missed the 
point. It's not "you're wrong" or 
A
"I'm right".
                   E               
You lack objective eyes and I'm no 
Bm
better.

Bm                    D          
And so you scream and shout, but 
                A
he won't make a sound,
                  E                
so when you push around, do you 
  Bm
feel better?
Bm                         D 
Your pattern's clear right now. 
                    A
He'll never be allowed.
              E                    
If you'd just hear me out, then 
       Bm
we'd feel better.

Bm                  D            
You'll never ban my life in your 
       A
myopic fight.
                E              
I won't shut my eyes to make it 
 Bm
better.

Bm                     D         
And once I'm past this round, 
               A
I'll no longer be found,
                      E            
but it won't bring me down because 
          Bm
I'll feel better.

[Chorus]
          Dm       C         A
You don't know how hard I've tried. 
(no)
          Dm      C           A
You can't see the thoughts he hides,
Dm           C            Dm     
and truth be told, I have lost my 
 C
soul
   Dm   Am   Dm  A  Dm
to love that has no life.
