In - fected youth
F#m G D
Grow spokesmen of gray
[Verse 1]
D
She loved him so and he left
A
He said he wished her to die
Bm
And she cried; closer, still
F#m Em
To whatever may come of heartbreak
[Verse 2]
D
Then she found herself sea sick, lost in an ocean
A
Without her pharmacy fisherman
Bm
And she found it was too hard to stand up on her own
F#m Em
And she wished, she wished, she wished she could die
[Breakdown]
Em G
Never mind
Em
The growing weight
G
In what she can't stomach
G G Bm A x4
[Verse 3]
G Bm A G
Left in the womb all alone, she lost that baby on her own
Bm A G
She just laid still
Bm A G
Left in the womb all alone, she lost that baby on her own
Bm A
She became still
[Verse 4]
G Bm
After that she never felt right
A G
She just laid still
G Bm
Never told anyone about the child
A G
She just stayed still
[Verse 5]
G
She told me
Bm D A Asus4
And I cried, still
G
And I died
Bm D Dsus4
I died a small bit, I died
[Verse 6]
G Bm
And now I think of it all the time
D A Asus4 G Bm D Dsus4
Would it be better, would it be nicer than me
G Bm D
I hope that I'm not right, I can't face that kind of life
G Bm D
Shadowed by someone never alive
[Verse 7]
G
But how could she love me
Bm D
After her heart was broken in two
G
How could she be proud
Bm D
After her heart was taken from her
[Breakdown]
D Em
I wonder about my sibling
A G D Em
If heaven has a place for her
A G
But god you work so strangely
D Em
You take smiles so quickly
A G
So quietly
[Bridge]
D
A blade can cut so quickly
Bm
But my legs won't die so quietly
G
I don't want to keep going
G
I've got to keep going
G
I've got to keep going
G
I've got to keep going
D G
If not for my mother
D G
Then for the one we've lost
D G
If not for my mother
D G
Then for the one we've lost
D G
If not for my mother
D G
Then for the one we've lost
D G
If not for my mother
D G
Then for the one we've lost
D G D G x2
G
[Chorus]
D D
Still, a better world
D
A nicer world
D
How can I redeem myself
Bm
For my failure
Bm
I'll never know her
Bm
She was never here
D
I am failing
Bm
To live on for myself
G
I'm sorry
Bm
I love you
D
I'm sorry
Bm
I didn't say it enough
G
You could've asked
Gmaj7 Bm
Why I am alive
D
Why, why, why am I alive?
G
Why am I alive?
D
Why am I alive?
