Em G
This part of me that wants a simple "right or wrong"
C D
And I feel that everything I choose will always be false
Em
And today
This homework
G
About me
A blank sheet
C
Accomplished
Content with
D
This life I will now live
Em
'Til I think why are we
G
Just sometimes, no always

Saying how we're lonely?
C D
Can you even read the blackboard written clear as can be?
Em Bm

C D
Can you even find the one who dyed his red heart to black?
Em
Hey, who could it be?
Bm
Hey, someone tell me!
C D
Can you even solve the question with your abacus yet?

Did we really choose it right saying we're okay this way?
Em
Hey, just tell me how
Bm
It's not like I care now
Em G C D (x2)
Em Bm
Counting days like numbers, they all pass their prime
C G
And again hypnotically swimming through time
Em Bm
Behind the power and guards I put up
C
I hide
N.C.
Knowing they had long died
Em
From problems
My resolve
G
Just can't solve
That homework
C
Accomplished
Content with
D
This life I will now live
Em
'Til I think and he speaks
G
That demon inside us
A
Saying "let me just leave"
Bm
Saying "someone kill me!"

C D
Who was the one who let my hopes just curl and up die?
Em
Hey, who could it be?
Bm
No, it's gotta be...
C D
Just open up your eyes, why don't you grow up and see?
Em Bm
But what the hell is "growing up" and tell me when will I be?
C D

Bm
It's not like I care now!
