Verse/Chorus
[Em]i, i am a p[G]oison and [Em]i, i am still c[G]oursing through your bloodstream l[C]ike
a ghost, like[Gsus2] wine, [Bm]      gathering [C]vintage for the day i hurt the most
[Em]i, i am a l[G]and mine and [Em]i, i lay on[G] the soil burned out by battles you
[C]thought you'd won, i've got[Gsus2] time...[Bm]    to wait for the [C]footsteps.. of a memory that's on
run

Chorus/Verse:
well [Em]i, i am a [G]tar pit and [Em]i, i swell like a livi[G]ng thing all at the
[C]slightest touch.. a black [Gsus2]grime,   [Bm]     swallowing e[C]verything.. a cold and timeless clutch
[Em]i, well i am a [G]trip wire, and [Em]i, i'm stretching acro[G]ss the road you're
barreling [C]down tonight...a thinish [Gsus2]twine,  [Bm]      waiting to [C]be released right beyond
sight
