The Mask

D


[Verse 1]
D
 Well, I felt the burn
Since the day you departed and 
                G
talked from the tomb

I'm still healing those wounds
D
 And it holds me down

But made me a man that says
                G                  
"Fuck all those rules, I will be 
    D
who I choose"
              A
It's a lonely road
         Bm              G        
With one grip on several psalms 
                  D
and one grip on the gun
                 A
And it holds the rope
                 Bm                
That spins me in circles and 
     G
dizzies my head
                              D
Then says, "Sleep when you're dead"

  Were you ever here?

                    Bm             
Or just lost on the surface that at
           G                       
 the first touch just evades in the
 D
 dust
                 A
And it pulled me down
                 Bm                
And showed me my demons lined up in
   G                   D
 a sequence, forming a crowd
          A
It was so long
       Bm             G           
With a piece of happy home that 
                     D
they stripped from the bone
          A
I did not react
             Bm                    
I settled my grievance by crafting 
  G
a mask
                   D
And I never looked back

Tell me what you know
       Bm          A         G
I'm in deeper than I've ever been
G            A
I will never grow
           Bm        A             
While this anchor is chained to my 
G
feet
