Strum

D-DU-UDU

A parent walks in on a child cutting them self

Laughs and says silly dear, you're only hurting yourself.

So cut deep or don't cut at all. Are you listening?

Oh please be listening..

I don't care what those bastards tell you don't cut at all.

You're staggering in you find a finger gagging yourself you heave and say

I'm not like those pigs.

i don't care whats good for my health.

Controlling the room with tilted thighs

It comes to me as no surprise that

i even flicker on my own

Feed the one thats closer (As you're flickering on)

Feed the one thats closed (As you flicker)

Starving artist you will

I said it before

Shed your burdens and build on

You shed your clothes in spite and whisper

i make the demands.

Well im doubting my portrait of skin

But i sure as hell wont find limbs down my throat

The substance of weight defines the beauty laced behind the pride of my even

scales they stand alone

So cut

(Its not) living deeply

Cut (cut)

(No) not at all

You shed your clothes in spite and whisper

You bear these lines to cleanse your system

You bear these lines despite the symptoms

i make the demands.

Starving artist you will

I said it before

Shed your burdens and build on

(oooh oooh oooh)

We won't give up, we won't give up now.

repeat repeat repeat, etc.

Alternately, if you want to play the ending a bit differently play the above twice then...

When it reaches the climax:

We won't give up, we won't give up now.

Then for all times after:

We won't give up, we won't give up now.

(La da da)

And repeat until the end.

That's just about it.
