Verse
Em G Am C
You’ve spent a lifetime locked in the same mindset
Em G Am C
You break the contract, and smile away your debt

I play for closure, through the fear and the thrill of the fight
Em G Am
Move a little bit closer, ‘cause you’re in for a jagged night
C
Hold tight
Pre-Chorus
Em
I close my eyes; a toxic calling
G
Just let it resonate we call it suffering

Fear constricts my hand still I won’t sign the line

C Em G
I want you to give me what I need

Lay waste to your beliefs, rebuild yourself for me

To come alive again

I feign obsession, and abbreviate my fuse

You're my possession, until I'm done with you

and I see it shining through, wear my promise as a bruise

I close my eyes; a toxic calling

Trying to forget, the things I could have said

Each word a rusted arrowhead, we salutate and drink from lead
