Tom: C
C G
Bittersweet remedy, heal me
C G
I've tried to be everything you need of me
[Verse 1]
Am C
I'm not holding my breath, I know that ruin merely rests
G
I can feel it pressed against my chest
Am C
Like a virus; I've tried to find us a way out of this hole
G
With my hands pressed against my nose
Am C
I'm trying to be holy, but I still don't feel whole
Am C
I'm trying to be holy, but I still don't feel whole
[Chorus]
Am
Can't you see that it's haunting me
C Am
Every night when I try to sleep? I'm so weak
Am
Burdened by the epiphany
C
Misery's periphery won't let me be
[Verse 2]
Em
The grass is always greener when you live in black and white
Am
I try to close my eyes, imagine everything's alright
C
Honey like an arrow, sewn into a quiver
G
It's in my marrow, it's in my liver
Am
You watch me wilt away like a flower without rain
G C
There's nothing you can do, honey, please just look away
Am Em
I am nailed to this cross, and I must carry it alone
Am C
I'd ask you to hold my hands, but they're worn to the bone
[Chorus]
Am
Can't you see that it's haunting me
C Am
Every night when I try to sleep? I'm so weak
Am
Burdened by the epiphany
C
Misery's periphery won't let me be
[Bridge]
Am G
Bittersweet remedy, leave me
F G
Its shadow follows me
F G
I try to fall asleep
[Outro]
C
Fall asleep
G
I try to fall asleep
