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,

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.
