_ _ _ [F] by myself since my therapist told [Dm] me I'm ill and I've been making some [A] progress
lately and I've learned some new [Bb] coping skills so I haven't really [F] needed you
much man I think we need to just step back and [B] chill.
Ren, you sound more [Bb] insane
than I do you think that those [D] doctors are [Dm] really that's a guide you've been
through this a [G] million [Bb] times your civilian mind is so [B] perfect they're [Dm] always being
lied to okay take [G] another pill [Bb] boy found yourself in the sound [G] of white [Dm] noise
follow this 10-step program [G] rejoice all your problems [N] will be gone fucking
done boy nah mate this time is different man trust me [A] I feel like things might be
[Bb] falling in place and my music's been [F] kind of doing bits too like I actually might [Dm] do
something great and when I'm gone maybe [A] I'll be remembered for doing something
[Bb] special with myself that's why you don't [F] think that we should talk man because
when you're with me it never seems to [Abm] help you think that you can amputate me
I am you you are me you are I I am we we are one split in two that makes one so
you see you gotta kill you if you wanna kill [Dm] me I'm not left over dinner I'm not
scraps on the [G] side oh your music is thriving [Dm] delusional guy where's your top
ten hit where's your [G] interview with [N] Oprah where are your Grammys Ren?
Nowhere!
yeah but my music's not commercial like that [Dbm] I never chase numbers statistics [Bm] or
stats I never write hooks for the [Am] radio they never even play me so why would I
[Dm] concern myself with that but my music is [Gbm] really connecting and the people who
[Gm] find it respected and for me that's [F] enough because this life's been tough so
it gives me a purpose I can rest in [Abm] man you sound so pretentious [Eb] Ren your music
is so self [Dm]-centered no one wants to hear another [G] song about how much you hate
[B] yourself trust me you [Dm] should be so [F] lucky having me inside you to [Bb] guide you remind
you to manage [G] expectations provide [Dm] you perspective that thing you [G] neglected I
get [C] it you want to be a big deal next Jimi [Dm] Hendrix forget it man it's not [Em] like
that [Gm] man it's just like that I'm inside [D] you you twat no it's not man you're
wrong when I'm bright I belong [G] let me break [D] the fourth wall by acknowledging
[B] this [Dm] song Ren's it's down has [Gm] a stroke of genius he wants to write a song that
was not done [F] previous the battle [Ab] with his subconscious Eminem did it played
on [B] guitar Plan [Dm] B did it man you're not [F] original you [Eb] criminal rip off ice the
pinnacle of your success is stealing other [Dm] people's material Ren mate we've
heard it [B] all before she sells seashells on the seashore [Dm] fuck you I don't need
you [A] I don't need to hear this cuz I'm fine by [D] myself I'm a genius and I will
be great [Am] and I will make waves and I'll shake up the whole world [C] beneath us
that's right speak your [Gm] truth your fucking God complex leaks out of [Dm] you it's
refreshing to actually hear you say it [G] it's not about [B] play it music is all
about the creative process and if people can find something to relate to within
that then that's just a [Bb] bonus fuck you I'm a fucking kill you rent [G] fucking kill
me then let's fucking [Dm] happy rent I'm a do it once we prove it who were you to
doubt my music cuz I [Gbm] call the shots I [F] choose if you [Gm] die yeah I call the shots
and so I choose who [Db] survives [F] I'll tie you up in knots when I [N] lock you in a _ _ _ _
_ _ _ newsflash [B] _ I was [G] created I _ am _ [B]
the snake in evil [Gbm] I am the reason [Cm] for treason
[Gb] behaving all Kings I [E] am sin [Gbm] with no rhyme or [Em] reason [Eb] son of the [Abm] morning
Lucifer and he cries [Am] father replies must [Bb] offer these [B] truths in a blender that's
equal [C] pretender the finest [Db] avenger the righteous [N] surrender when standing in
_ my name is stitched to your lips so you see I won't bow to the will of a [Am] mortal
[D] feeble and normal you want to kill me [B] I'm a turtle of mortal I live in every
decision [C] that he lies [F] chaos that [Gbm] causes the vision I live [G] inside that's all but

_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] hi Ren I've been taking some time to be
distant I've been taking some time to be still I've been taking some time to be
by myself and I've spent half my life ill but just as sure as the tide [A] starts
turning just as sure as the [Bb] night has dawn just as sure as the [F] rainfall soon
runs dry when you stand in an eye of [Dm] a storm I was made to be [A] tested and
twisted and I was made to be [Bb] broken and beat I was made by [F] his hand it's all
part of his plan that I stand on my own [Dm] two feet and you know [B] me my will [A] is
eternal and you know me you've met [Bb] me before face to face with a [F] beast I will
rise from the east and I'll settle on the [E] ocean [Dm] floor and I go by many [A] names
also some people know me [Bb] as hope some people know me [F] as the voice that you
hear when you loosen the [Dm] noose on a rope and you know how I [Bbm] know that I'll
[A] prosper because I stand here [Bb] beside you today I have stood in the flames [C] that
cremated my brain and I didn't [Dm] once flinch or shake so coward the [A] man I
become when I sing from [Bb] the top of my lungs that I [G] won't retire or stand [Am] in
your fire inspire the [Dm] me to be strong and when I [D] am gone I will rise in the
music that I left [Bb]
behind ferocious [F] persistent immortal [N] like you
we're a coin with two different sides

_ when [N] I was 17 years old I shouted out into an empty room _ onto a blank canvas
that I would defeat the forces of evil and for the next 10 years of my life I
suffered the consequences of illness psychosis and autoimmunity and as I got
older I realized there were no real winners and there were no real losers in
psychological warfare but there were victims _ and there were students and so it
wasn't David versus Goliath it was a pendulum eternally swaying from the dark
to the light and the more intensely that the light shone the darker the shadow it
_ and so it was never really a battle for me to win it was an eternal dance and
like a dance the more rigid that I became _ harder it got the more that I
curse my clumsy footsteps _ the more I struggled and so I got older and I
learned to relax and I learned to soften and that dance got easier it is this
eternal dance that separates human beings from angels _ from demons and from
gods and we must not forget and I must not forget that I am a human being _ _ _
