We all got internet personas
Am7 D7 Gmaj7
Internet personas we hide behind
Cmaj7
We hide behind
G D
We all got demons deep inside us
D7 Gmaj7
Demons deep inside us we try to hide
Cmaj7 A#
We try to hiiiiiide
D Am7 D Gmaj7
And I forgot who it is I truly am
C A#
long ago
D Bm Em7
But, I'll keep searching for it while I can
[Verse 1]
D
I knew a boy who could outline a shape in a second
Am7 D7 G
Thats display was eclectic in a way that was second to none
N.C.
He had a hand that swam like fish in the seas
C D#
And a pen stroke that could bring any critic to his knees
Dm
It was beautiful
N.C.
Flowing like the blood inside my arteries
Am7 D
He painted hearts as targets and was practicing his archery
G
Mastering the artistry he carried in his chest
C A#
Until at best it was a godsend and worst was a part of me
C
Until suddenly
N.C.
Things began to seem different
Am7 D7
Moods dissipated into blue and grey pigments
G7 C
But surface-wise, his screen names were never inefficient as a method
N.C.
to communicate that happiness was with him
D D7
So a couple thousand people saw a perfectly innocuous complexion
N.C.
While I was tryna talk him through depression
G
But lesson to be learned is that your heroes aren't invincible
C
Just normal folks who often need expression so pause and leave a message
(If you want they'd probably appreciate it)

[Verse 2]
Dm
I knew a person who could cultivate the words that they aligned
Am7 D
In a way that could coerce a train to fly
G
A perfect state of mind in which to learn creative rhymes
Cm A#m
Until their person was a burden by the verses they designed and they
D
began to lose their touch
Am7
The little quirks in all their writing became terse and uninviting
D G
And ingesting any lettering they surgeoned into life instead of being
C
entertainment was inert and just absurd and all the work was fucking tiring
N.C.
And suddenly
N.C.
They were writing less and less
Am7 D7
Despite of their success they saw no light and second guessed the
G
creativity they harbored in their heart
C A#
There's only so much fucking artwork you can make until you forget the way to start
D
So a couple million people saw some dipping in the frequency
Am Dm
Of music while they fought idiosyncrasy
G
But slept his mental illness and woke is some peculiar train of thought
Cm
That masqueraded as a symptom of a hindering delinquency
N.C.
I hope that all these words have made you think of me
