[Verse 1]
C5Eb5C5B5D5C5C5Eb5C5D5B5C5C5Eb5C5B5D5C5C5Eb5C5
There's a beast in e_very man who breathes With him from birth until beside him in the grave
B5D5C5C5Eb5C5B5D5C5C5Eb5C5B5C5
A hi_deous presence just aching for release
D5C5Eb5C5B5D5C5C5Eb5C5B5C5D5C5Eb5
Its chains aren't as strong as its memo__ry It lies dormant so far from dead
[Bridge]
Grating on me, this uninvited sense
C5Eb5
Its whisper like branches as they bend
Twisting, grinding just threatening to snap
[Verse 2]
C5Eb5Gb5F5
Floods of frustration, cascading in my skull
C5Eb5Gb5F5
On the axis back and forth, the swinging pendulum
C5Eb5Gb5
So much damage, bashing each wall
F5C5Eb5Gb5F5C5
I hear the sand pounding in the hourglass as it falls
[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I just wish I could shut it all
[Chorus]
C5Eb5C5B5C5D5C5Eb5C5B5D5C5
Off, off The endless rage that tells me something's
C5Eb5C5B5C5D5C5Eb5C5B5D5C5
Off, off The voice that's spitting lies, just turn it
C5Eb5C5B5C5D5C5Eb5C5B5D5C5
Off, off Tear away the scabs, I want them
C5Eb5C5B5C5D5C5Eb5C5B5D5C5C5
Off, off The demon on my back, just pull him off
[Bridge]
Eb5
There it is again, telling you you can't
That lump in your throat, you fight to swallow back
C5Eb5
There it is again, hoping that you won't
Wishing failure but not giving up the ghost
[Verse 3]
C5Eb5Gb5F5
Silent voices, stabbing at peace
C5Eb5Gb5
Pushing off fingers from the ledge of sanity
F5C5Eb5Gb5F5
Like a thousand leeches, feeding on your wits
C5Eb5Gb5F5
Making something meaningless seem significant
[Pre-Chorus]
C5
Sometimes I just wish I could shut it all
[Chorus]
C5Eb5C5B5C5D5C5Eb5C5B5D5C5
Off, off The endless rage that tells me something's
C5Eb5C5B5C5D5C5Eb5C5B5D5C5
Off, off The voice that's spitting lies, just turn it
C5Eb5C5B5C5D5C5Eb5C5B5D5C5
Off, off Tear away the scabs, I want them
C5Eb5C5B5C5D5C5Eb5C5B5D5C5C5
Off, off The demon on my back, just pull him off
[Verse 4]
Eb5Gb5F5C5
This uninvited guest inside my brain
Eb5Gb5F5C5
With every threat whispered I feel no__thing
Eb5Gb5F5C5
And when I'm at my best it inter__venes
Eb5Gb5F5C5
How can I get anyone else to relate
[Interlude]
C5Eb5C5B5C5D5C5Eb5C5B5C5D5C5Eb5B5C5D5C5C5Eb5C5B5D5C5C5
Silent voices, stabbing at peace On the edge, pushing my fingers off,
Eb5C5B5D5C5C5Eb5C5B5D5C5C5Eb5C5B5D5
off
C5C5Eb5C5B5D5C5
[Chorus]
C5Eb5C5B5C5D5C5Eb5C5B5D5C5
Off, off The endless rage that tells me something's
C5Eb5C5B5C5D5C5Eb5C5B5D5C5
Off, off The voice that's spitting lies, just turn it
C5Eb5C5B5C5D5C5Eb5C5B5D5C5
Off, off Tear away the scabs, I want them
C5Eb5C5B5C5D5C5Eb5C5B5D5C5C5Eb5C5D5B5C5
Off, off The demon on my back, just pull him off
