This [C] house is a circus, [Bm] berserk as fuck.
We [C] tend to see that as a [Bm] perk.
No look, what it's [C] done to your friends, their [B] memories are pretend.
And the last [C] thing that they want is for this [Bm] feeling to

Room [C] for a troll [B]

Scale in the corridor, the maidens in the [Bm] maze.
In an [C] anomaly, asleep in familiar [B] ways.
[C] Forever [A] old [B] [C] and coughing wide, like a search for murder clues in dead men's eyes.

Wiggling around [C] in this head as you ever [B] get.
It's just a list of venom [E] and the looks that you collect.
Hanging with the gazing at the faces in the crowd.
