G
I'll try just to stay out
          C
Of this decimated place 
                 Em          D
That left a bad taste in my mouth 
                 Em              C
'Cause when it's gone I feel my home
           G
Is spaced away
             D                   Em
And I can't see where I've come from
                   C                 G
'Cause weeks from now there's still today. 
             D         Em
And I can't sweep it under the rug or find
   C                  G
A different place to stay
D                              G
'Cause who I am is where I'm from. 

G
I'll try just to move on
           C       
From these empty holes and the 
                   Em                   D
Ones who chose to stay back when I was gone
                  Em
And though these souls are seeking
C                  G
Something I can't chase
          D                Em
I often wish we all could go back to the 
C                 G
Hope we've since erased 
             D        Em
And wake up from our comatosal states
     C             G
That we create to roam
D                            G
'Cause who I am is who I've known. 

Em         C   G  D
I'll just run away
                  Em         C      G  D
I've got to find myself some better days

G
I'll buy the things I hate
         C
Just to replace my wasted motivation 
Em                D
Spent to fill my plate
           Em            C          G
But when I try to leave behind the things
      D
That weigh me down 
                      Em
And keep me on these ropes 
            C                   G
They stick around like masking tape
D                            Em
I thought was in the garbage and tells me
C                G
You'll be happy, wait
D                             G
'Cause who I am is what I've owned.

G
I'll die just to get born 
              C
It's hard to be brand new

When the things I do 
        Em             D
Are the things I did before
            Em               C
But I will bomb my home and burn myself
     G
And kill the things
      D            Em
I've carried on my back
               C
So long these days are over
G                    D
Black and charred, debris and ashes
Em                  C              G
And I can feel new air fill up my lungs,
D                         G
'Cause who I am is a new one.
