Verse 1
Am
In darkness, you're all around me,
Am
I know our future, I feel your body.

Am
What if I told you that I planned 
this?
Am
What if I want to lose control?
Am
What if I take the blame and become 
the drug
Am
And dissolve as you swallow?


Prechorus 1
F                     C
Covered in your silhouette,
Dm
Elated for your bitter end.
F                            C
Don't hide the shame from our lips,
Dm
Glowing in amber, burn in sin.


Chorus
Am                           
Against the wall, we fall from 
  C
grace,
F                   Dm
The pain we love is taking shape.
Am                             C
A burning lust to touch the flame,
F        G
Over and over again.
Continues after the ad
Am                              
We've played this role a thousand 
   C
times,
    F                      Dm
The same old script, just different 
lies.
Am                       C
You disappear without a trace,
   F              G
Concealing the crimes on your face.


Verse 2
Am
Beneath all the pleasure, all you 
are is pain,
Am
And you deserve every second of your
 suffering.
Am
But yet I can't stop, crawling to 
your doorstep,
Am
Every time you beckon,
Am
I'm self destructing, trust in 
nothing,
Am
Save me!


Prechorus 2
F                     C
You burn like a cigarette,
Dm
I took my time to suck you in.
F                     C
So take me out of my head,
Dm
And spread your ashes on my skin.

Chorus
Am                           
Against the wall, we fall from 
  C
grace,
F                   Dm
The pain we love is taking shape.
Am                             C
A burning lust to touch the flame,
F        G
Over and over again.
Am                              
We've played this role a thousand 
   C
times,
    F                      Dm
The same old script, just different 
lies.
Am                       C
You disappear without a trace,
   F              G
Concealing the crimes on your face.


Fall!

     F                   Dm
Your skin like winter, I felt you 
shiver.
  Am                         C
I heard you whisper, but the pills 
were quicker.
  F
I watched you wither,
  Dm
I am the killer!

Chorus
Am                           
Against the wall, we fall from 
  C
grace,
F                   Dm
The pain we love is taking shape.
Am                             C
A burning lust to touch the flame,
F        G
Over and over again.
Am                               C
We beg like dirt and flesh disarms
F                    Dm
We built it up, to fall apart
Am                   C
Even the honesty was fake
F               G          Am
Concealing the crimes on your face
