[Verse 1]
G Am D G
society judges through a black and white prism, leads me to cynical pessimism
Em C B A B
the best way I see living is by giving up hope, I see the world through a rose-colored microscope
C D G G/F# Em
I see patterns no one else can see, in Switzerland I see reverse Nazis
[Chorus 1]
C D B Em D
I'm an opposite, I'm a negative reel, I don't understand how other people feel
C D B B/D# Em
cracks in the sidewalk gimme a feeling like when I count tiles on my past checkered ceiling
Am B Em B
the only time I ever fit in, is when I wear a second skin
[Interlude] (repeat Intro)
Em
ah ah ah ah...
[Verse 2]
G Am D G
is there a lobe missing in my brain because I don't feel the difference between pleasure and pain
Em C B A B
why waste a night laying naked together when we could be confined in latex or black leather?
C D G G/F# Em
I love to kiss right before I'm gagged, I like the challenge of breathing inside a plastic bag
[Bridge]
C Cmaj7 B7 B B/D# Em D
I have a way to make believe make believe makes me real, I'm so lucky that I feel things so few others feel
[Chorus 2]
C D
I just have to feel new ways to keep my mind from reeling
G B/D# Em
that's why I like to hang on meat hooks from the ceiling
Am B Em B Em
the only way I can turn off my brain is through exquisite pain
Here's a nice way for the ending (which is about what the harpsichord plays):
Am B Em B Em
only way I can turn [...] brain is through exquisite pain
