(intro) Em

                     Am            C
So, it's been like this from the start,
                  D                       Em
One piece after another and made my heart,
                 Am                  C
You mistake the pain for being smart,
                        D                 Em
stand here, sell this, and hit your mark
                     Am
But the sound of the steel,
                      C
it will crush it will grind,
                           D                    Em
It will scream cause who am I to decide my life?
                     Am
But in time it'll die,
                         C
Theres nothing left inside,
                           D             Am
Just rust and metal that was never even mine.

         C
I will scream,
          G                D
But Im just this hallow shell,
         Am
Waiting here,
          C
Begging please
            Em              D
God, set me free so I can feel

                      C                  G

Without somebody else operating me,
            C              G
You gave me eyes and now I see,
              D

Em         Am
All this time,
                  C
Ive been misled,
                       D                      Em
There was nothing but cross-wires in my head,
                     Am                  C
I've been taught to think that what I feel,
                    D                            Am
Doesnt matter at all so you say it's real.
         C
I will scream,
          G               D
But I'm just this hallow shell,
        Am
Waiting here,
          C
Begging please

Em                   D
