And when I'm [Db] gone, maybe I'll be remembered.
For doing something [D] special with myself.
That's.
why I don't [Am] think that we should talk man.
Cause when you're with me, it never seems to help.
You think that you can amputate me?.

My [Ab] name is [G] stitched to your [D] lips so you see.
I won't bow to the.
will of a mortal.
Feeble and normal.
[G] You wanna kill me?.
[D] I'm eternal and morse.
[Eb] I live.
in every [Gb] decision.
[C] A catalyzed chaos.
I cause it.
A [Gbm] vision.
I live [D] inside death.

[G] Hi Ren.
I've been taking some [Am] time to be distant.
I've been taking [Bb] some time to be still.
I've.
been taking some time to be by myself [F] and I've spent half my life [Dm] ill.
But just as sure.
as the tide [A] starts turning.
Just as sure as the [Bb] night has dawned.
Just as sure as the.
[Dm] rainfall soon runs dry when you stand in an eye of a storm.
I was made to be [A] tested and.
twisted.
I was made to be [Bb] broken and beat.
I was made by his [F] hand.
It's all part of his.
plan that I stand on my [Dm] own two feet.
And you know me, my will [A] is eternal.
And you know.
me, you've met me [Bb] before.
Face to face with a [Am] beast.
I will rise from the east and I'll.
settle on the [Dm] ocean floor.
And I go [A] by many names also.
Some people know [Bb] me as hope.
Some.
people know me as [F] the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose [Dm] on the rope.
And.
you know how I [A] know that I'll prosper?.
Because I stand here beside [Bb] you today.
I have stood.
in the [F] flames that cremated my brain and I didn't once flinch [Dm] or shake.
So coward the.
man I've [A] become.
When I sing from the top [Bb] of my lung.
That I won't [F] retire.
I'll stand.
in your fire and fire [Dm] that made to be strong.
And when I am [A] gone I will ride in the music.
that I [E] left [Dm] behind.
Ferocious, [Am] persistent, immortal like you, we're a coin made to differ [F] and side.

When I was 17 years old, I shouted out into an empty room, into a blank canvas that I.
would defeat the forces of evil.
And for the next 10 years of my life, I suffered the.
consequences with autoimmunity, illness, and psychosis.
As I got older, I realised there.
were no real winners.
And there were no real losers in psychological warfare.
But there.
were victims.
And there were students.
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 cast.
It was never really a battle for me to win.
It was an eternal.
dance.
And like a dance, the more rigid I became, the harder it got.
The more I cursed.
my clumsy footsteps, the more I struggled.
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, from gods.
.
And I must not forget, we must not forget.
that we are human beings.

_ _ _ [Dm] [F] Hi there, Ren.
It's [Gm] been a little while.
Did you miss me?
.
You thought you buried me, didn't.
you?
[A] Risky.
Cause I [Gm] always come back.
Deep down you know that.
Deep down you know I'm [Dm] always in periphery.
Ren, aren't you [Gm] pleased to see me?.
It's been weeks since we spoke bro, I know you need.
[Dm] me.
You're the sheep, I'm the shepherd, not your place [Gm] to lead me.
Not your place to be.
batting off the hand that feeds [Dm] me.
Hi Ren.
I've been taking some time [A] to be distant.
I've been taking some [Bb] time to be still.
I've.
been taking some [Dm] time to be by myself since my therapist told me I'm ill.
And I've been.
making some [A] progress lately.
And I've learned some new [Gm] coping skills.
So I haven't really.
[A] needed you much man.
I think we need to just step back and chill.
Ren, you [Gm] sound more insane than I do.
You think that those doctors are [Dm] really there.
to guide you?.
You've been through this [Gm] a million times.
Your civilian [E] mind is so perfect.
you're [Dm] always being lied to.
Okay, take [Gm] another pill boy.
Ground yourself in the sound of white [Dm] noise.
Follow this 10.
step [G] program.
Rejoice.
All your problems [B] will be gone.
Fucking done [Dm] boy.
Nah mate.
This time is [A] different man, trust me.
I feel like things might be [Bb] falling in.
place.
And my music's been [Dm] kinda doing bits too.
Like I actually might do something great.
And when I'm [Db] gone, maybe I'll be remembered.
For doing something [D] special with myself.
That's.
why I don't [Am] think that we should talk man.
Cause when you're with me, it never seems to 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 leftover dinner, I'm not scraps on the [Gm] side.
Oh your music is thriving?.
Delusional.
[Dm] guy.
Where's your top 10 hit?.
Where's your [Gm] interview with Oprah?.
Where are your Grammys.
Ren?
Nowhere.
[Dm] Yeah, but my music's not [A] commercial like that.
I never chase numbers, statistics [Bb] or stars.
I never write hooks for the radio, [Am] they never even play me.
So why would I concern [Dm] myself.
with that?.
But my music is really [A] connecting.
And the people who find [Bb] it, respect [D] it.
And.
for me that's enough [A] cause this life's been tough so it gives me a purpose I can rest [Gm] in.
Man, you sound so pretentious.
Ren, your music is so self [Dm]-centered.
No one wants to hear.
another [Gm] song about how much you hate yourself.
Trust me.
[Dm] You should be so lucky.
Having me [Gm] inside you to guide you, remind you, to manage expectations,.
[Dm] provide you perspective.
That thing you [Gm] neglected?.
I get it.
You wanna be a big deal?.
[Dm] Next you meet Hendrix?.
Forget it.
Man, it's not like that.
[Bb] Man, it's just like that.
I'm inside you, you [F] twat.
No, it's not, man.
You're wrong.
When I write, I belong.
[Bb] Let me break the fourth wall by [Dm] acknowledging this song.
Ren sits down, has a [Gm] stroke of genius.
He wants to write a song that was not done [Dm] previous.
A battle with his subconscious.
[Abm] Eminem did it.
[Dm] Played on guitar.
Plan B did it.
Man, you're the original.
You're [Gm] criminal.
Riff-off artist.
The pinnacle of your success.
is stealing other people's [Dm] material.
Ren, mate, we've heard it all before.
She sells seashells on the seashore.
Fuck you.
I don't need you.
I don't [Db] need to hear this.
Cause I'm fine by myself.
[D] I'm a.
genius.
And I will be great.
And [A] I will make waves.
And I'll shake up the whole world beneath us.
[Gm] That's right.
Speak your truth.
Your fucking God complex leaks out of you.
[Dm] It's refreshing.
to ask for you to say [Gm] it instead of downplay it.
Music is all about the creative process.
And if people can find something to relate to.
within that, then that's just a [Ab] bonus.
[F] Fuck you.
I'ma fucking kill you, [Bb] Ren.
Well, fucking kill me then.
Let's fucking have you, [Dm] Ren.
I'ma do it once we prove it.
Who are you to doubt my music?.
[Db] Cause I call the shots.
I choose it.
You die.
Yeah, [D] I call the shots.
And so I choose who survives.
[F] I'll tie [A] you up in knots when I lock.
you inside.

I won't bow to the.
will of a mortal.
Feeble and normal.
[G] You wanna kill me?.
[D] I'm eternal and morse.
[Eb] I live.
in every [Gb] decision.
[C] A catalyzed chaos.
I cause it.
A [Gbm] vision.
I live [D] inside death.
The beginning.
of [Ab] ends.
I [Bb] am you.
You are me.

_ _ [G] Hi Ren.
I've been taking some [Am] time to be distant.
I've been taking [Bb] some time to be still.
I've.
been taking some time to be by myself [F] and I've spent half my life [Dm] ill.
But just as sure.
as the tide [A] starts turning.
Just as sure as the [Bb] night has dawned.
Just as sure as the.
[Dm] rainfall soon runs dry when you stand in an eye of a storm.
I was made to be [A] tested and.
twisted.
I was made to be [Bb] broken and beat.
I was made by his [F] hand.
It's all part of his.
plan that I stand on my [Dm] own two feet.
And you know me, my will [A] is eternal.
And you know.
me, you've met me [Bb] before.
Face to face with a [Am] beast.
I will rise from the east and I'll.
settle on the [Dm] ocean floor.
And I go [A] by many names also.
Some people know [Bb] me as hope.
Some.
people know me as [F] the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose [Dm] on the rope.
And.
you know how I [A] know that I'll prosper?.
Because I stand here beside [Bb] you today.
I have stood.
in the [F] flames that cremated my brain and I didn't once flinch [Dm] or shake.
So coward the.
man I've [A] become.
When I sing from the top [Bb] of my lung.
That I won't [F] retire.
I'll stand.
in your fire and fire [Dm] that made to be strong.
And when I am [A] gone I will ride in the music.
that I [E] left [Dm] behind.
Ferocious, [Am] persistent, immortal like you, we're a coin made to differ [F] and side.

_ _ _ _ _ When I was 17 years old, _ I shouted out into an empty room, into a blank canvas that I.
would defeat the forces of evil.
And for the next 10 years of my life, I suffered the.
consequences with autoimmunity, illness, and psychosis.
As I got older, I realised there.
were no real winners.
And there were no real losers in psychological warfare.
But there.
were victims.
And there were students.
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 cast.
_ _ It was never really a battle for me to win.
It was an eternal.
dance.
And like a dance, the more rigid I became, the harder it got.
The more I cursed.
my clumsy footsteps, the more I struggled.
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, from gods.
_ _ .
And I must not forget, we must not forget.
that we are human beings.

_ _ _ [Dm] [F] Hi there, Ren.
It's [Gm] been a little while.
Did you miss me?
.
You thought you buried me, didn't.
you?
[A] Risky.
Cause I [Gm] always come back.
Deep down you know that.
Deep down you know I'm [Dm] always in periphery.
Ren, aren't you [Gm] pleased to see me?.
It's been weeks since we spoke bro, I know you need.
[Dm] me.
You're the sheep, I'm the shepherd, not your place [Gm] to lead me.
Not your place to be.
batting off the hand that feeds [Dm] me.
Hi Ren.
I've been taking some time [A] to be distant.
I've been taking some [Bb] time to be still.
I've.
been taking some [Dm] time to be by myself since my therapist told me I'm ill.
And I've been.
making some [A] progress lately.
And I've learned some new [Gm] coping skills.
So I haven't really.
[A] needed you much man.
I think we need to just step back and chill.
Ren, you [Gm] sound more insane than I do.
You think that those doctors are [Dm] really there.
to guide you?.
You've been through this [Gm] a million times.
Your civilian [E] mind is so perfect.
you're [Dm] always being lied to.
Okay, take [Gm] another pill boy.
Ground yourself in the sound of white [Dm] noise.
Follow this 10.
step [G] program.
Rejoice.
All your problems [B] will be gone.
Fucking done [Dm] boy.
Nah mate.
This time is [A] different man, trust me.
I feel like things might be [Bb] falling in.
place.
And my music's been [Dm] kinda doing bits too.
Like I actually might do something great.
And when I'm [Db] gone, maybe I'll be remembered.
For doing something [D] special with myself.
That's.
why I don't [Am] think that we should talk man.
Cause when you're with me, it never seems to 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 leftover dinner, I'm not scraps on the [Gm] side.
Oh your music is thriving?.
Delusional.
[Dm] guy.
Where's your top 10 hit?.
Where's your [Gm] interview with Oprah?.
Where are your Grammys.
Ren?
Nowhere.
[Dm] Yeah, but my music's not [A] commercial like that.
I never chase numbers, statistics [Bb] or stars.
I never write hooks for the radio, [Am] they never even play me.
So why would I concern [Dm] myself.
with that?.
But my music is really [A] connecting.
And the people who find [Bb] it, respect [D] it.
And.
for me that's enough [A] cause this life's been tough so it gives me a purpose I can rest [Gm] in.
Man, you sound so pretentious.
Ren, your music is so self [Dm]-centered.
No one wants to hear.
another [Gm] song about how much you hate yourself.
Trust me.
[Dm] You should be so lucky.
Having me [Gm] inside you to guide you, remind you, to manage expectations,.
[Dm] provide you perspective.
That thing you [Gm] neglected?.
I get it.
You wanna be a big deal?.
[Dm] Next you meet Hendrix?.
Forget it.
Man, it's not like that.
[Bb] Man, it's just like that.
I'm inside you, you [F] twat.
No, it's not, man.
You're wrong.
When I write, I belong.
[Bb] Let me break the fourth wall by [Dm] acknowledging this song.
Ren sits down, has a [Gm] stroke of genius.
He wants to write a song that was not done [Dm] previous.
A battle with his subconscious.
[Abm] Eminem did it.
[Dm] Played on guitar.
Plan B did it.
Man, you're the original.
You're [Gm] criminal.
Riff-off artist.
The pinnacle of your success.
is stealing other people's [Dm] material.
Ren, mate, we've heard it all before.
She sells seashells on the seashore.
Fuck you.
I don't need you.
I don't [Db] need to hear this.
Cause I'm fine by myself.
[D] I'm a.
genius.
And I will be great.
And [A] I will make waves.
And I'll shake up the whole world beneath us.
[Gm] That's right.
Speak your truth.
Your fucking God complex leaks out of you.
[Dm] It's refreshing.
to ask for you to say [Gm] it instead of downplay it.
Music is all about the creative process.
And if people can find something to relate to.
within that, then that's just a [Ab] bonus.
[F] Fuck you.
I'ma fucking kill you, [Bb] Ren.
Well, fucking kill me then.
Let's fucking have you, [Dm] Ren.
I'ma do it once we prove it.
Who are you to doubt my music?.
[Db] Cause I call the shots.
I choose it.
You die.
Yeah, [D] I call the shots.
And so I choose who survives.
[F] I'll tie [A] you up in knots when I lock.
you inside.
_ _ _ .
_ _ _ Newsflash.
I was created at the dawn of creation.
[Bb] I [B] am temptation.
I am the snake in Eden.
I.
am the reason for [C] treason.
Beheading all kings.
I am sin with [Db] no rhyme or reason.
Son [D] of the [Ab] morning.
Lucifer and he cried [E] father of [F] lies.
Mistoffaly's truth in a [Gb] blender.
Deceitful [G] pretender.
The banished [Ab] avenger.
The righteous [D] surrender.
When standing in.
front of my solar eclipse.
My [Ab] name is [G] stitched to your [D] lips so you see.
I won't bow to the.
will of a mortal.
Feeble and normal.
