C5              Bb5  
Sharp and open, leave me alone  
    F5                  G#5  
And sleeping less every night  
       C5                      Bb5   
As the days become heavier and weighted  
        F5                G#5  
Waiting in the cold light  
           C5                             Bb5               F5  
A noise, a scream tears my clothes as the figurines tighten  
               G#5  
With spiders inside them  
                C5                  Bb5  
And dust on the lips of a vision of hell  
                 F5             G#5  
I laughed in the mirror for the first time in a year.

  C5                  Bb5                F5       G#5  
A hundred other words blind me with your purity  
        C5                      Bb5  
Like an old painted doll in the throes of dance  
  F5                    G#5  
I think about tomorrow  
              C5  
Please let me sleep  
                   Bb5  
As I slip down the window  
F5                   G#5  
Freshly sqashed fly  
         C5     Bb5        F5        G#5  
You mean nothing, you mean nothing.

      C5             Bb5              F5              G#5    
I can lose myself in Chinese art and American girls  
        C5   
All the time  
               B5b     
Lose me in the dark  
             F5     G#5  
Please do it right  
                 C5  
Running into the night  
              Bb5  
I will lose myself tomorrow  
F5               G#5  
Crimson pain, my heart explodes  
   C5          Bb5  
My memory in a fire  
                 F5  
And someone will listen  
   G#5  
At least for a short while.

       F5  
(I can never say no)  
      F5              F5  
I can never say no to anyone but you.

C5                Bb5  
Too many secrets, too many lies  
F5                   G#5  
Writhing with hatred  
C5                Bb5                          F5  G#5  
Too many secrets, please make it good tonight  
        C5        
But the same image haunts me  
   Bb5                            F5  
In sequence, in despair of time  
       G#5              C5   
I will never be clean again  
            Bb5              F5             
Touched her eyes, pressed my stained face  
       G#5              C5  
I will never be clean again (with Rhythm Figure 1)  
          Bb5            F5    
Touch her eyes, press my stained face  
       G#5              C5  Bb5  F5  
I will never be clean again  
       G#5              C5  Bb5  F5  
I will never be clean again  
       G#5              C5  Bb5  F5    
I will never be clean again  
       G#5  
I will never be clean again.
