[C#m]
Go without, till the need seeps in, [E] you'll [B] know and you [A] won't, collect your novel petals
for the [C#m] stem, and grow, glow, melt and flow, disarray your fragile frame, spill it out
when raggies [A] fall, a thousand different versions of [C#m]
[E] yourself, and if [B] the old gods still offend
they [F#m] got nothing left on [A] which you depend, so enlist every ounce of your bright [F#m] blood
and [E] off with their heads, jump from the book, you're not obliged to swallow anything you [A]
despise
see those unrepenting buzzards want [E] your life, they got no [A] right, but sure as you have I, they got [E] no right
just

put yourself in my shoes, and see that I do what I do, [B] because the old gods, they [A] got nothing left on which we depend
so enlist every ounce of your bright blood, and off with [E] their heads, jump from the book, you're not obliged to swallow anything you despise
you despise
