Lyrics:
Fear can drive stick
And it's taking me down this road
A road down which
I swore I'd never go                           Verse 1 
And here I sit
Thinking of God knows what
Afraid to admit
I might self-destruct

So lock the windows
And bolt the door
Cuz I've got enough problems                   Pre-Chorus 1
Without creating more 

I feel like I was born
To devastation and reform
Destroying everything I loved
And the worst part is                           Chorus 1
I pull my heart out, reconstruct
And in the end it's nothing but 
A shell of what I had when I first started

Usually I'll cause my own first hit
It seems to me to be slightly masochistic
But there'd be no story
Without all this descension                     Verse 2 
So I inflict the conflict
With the utmost of intention

So lock the windows
And bolt the door
Cuz I've got enough problems                    Pre-Chorus 2
Without creating more

I feel like I was born 
To devastation and reform
Destroying everything I loved
And the worst part is                            Chorus 2
I pull my heart out, reconstruct
And in the end it's nothing but
A shell of what I had when I first started 

Thank you God
For giving me the insight
So I might make
These wrongs right
If and when
There ever is a next time
Cuz failure is a blessing in disguise            Interlude
Pull my heart out, reconstruct
And in the end it's nothing but
A shell of what I had when I first started
A shell of what I had when I first started

I feel like I was born
To devastation and reform 
Destroying everything I loved
And the worst part is                            Chorus 3
I pull my heart out, reconstruct
And in the end it's nothing but
A shell of what I had when I first started

When I first started
A shell of what I had when I first started       Outro

This is only my first tab but I think its right on.  Enjoy!
