verse 1
Em D Am C
I recreate in the usual way
Em D C
Shut some breakers off but not the whole box
Em D Am C
Next day I fake till the fog finally abates
Em D C
Again at risk of being bored by clear thought
Am Em C G
Am I asleep am I awake
Am E D/F#
And why am I asking you
Am Em B Em
Do I enjoy the drugs I take
C D Em D Am C
My Lord I hope I do I hope I do

A false binary when it's probably something in between
Em D C
Pierce the yolk and watch it bleed together

The heavy things we think written in disappearing ink
Em D C
They may be long gone but not forever
Am Em C G
Am I asleep am I awake
Am E D/F#
And why am I asking you
Am Em B Em
Do I enjoy the drugs I take

My Lord I hope I do I hope I do
