F                      Dm   Dm                  Am
You claim I don't know you, but I know you well

  F               Dm     Dm                     Am
I read in those ash eyes we've been through hell

F                        Dm  Dm           Am
I've walked with the weakest just to feel strong

F                 Dm   Dm            Am
You've given your body just to belong

F             Dm   Dm Am
Let's burn together

F             Dm   Dm
Let's burn together

Am

F            Dm     Dm                   Am
I taste your sorrow and you taste my pain

F             Dm    Dm             Am
Drawn to each other for every stain

F              Dm  Dm                    Am
Licking the layers of soot from your skin

F                       Dm  Dm             Am
Your tears work my crust to let yourself in

F            Dm    Dm Am
Touching you harder

F            Dm  Dm
Touching you harder now

Refrain

Am

      F                 Dm
As we walk through the ashes

Dm                 Am
I whisper your name

        F            Dm    Dm Am
A taste of pain to cling to

      F                 Dm
As we walk through the ashes

Dm                 Am
You whisper my name

          F                Dm         Dm
Who's the one with the sickest mind...

Am F Dm

Dm                       Am
Our scars will never mend

          F
Cleansing sweat

   Dm             Dm
We are just using each other

                Am
Too depraved to stay alive

        F
But too young to die

Dm Dm

       Am
And we hurt

 F              Dm
(Scrubbing it harder)

Dm                      Am
Too late to back out now

F              Dm     Dm
(Scrubbing it even harder)
As these two broken barren desolate disordered words collide
