F#m C#m F#m C#m
This is the life of a woman with demons
F#m C#m F#m C#m
The first time we met I was sure she was steaming
Dm Dm
This is my life, this is my life
F#m C#m F#m C#m
What a life
F#m C#m F#m C#m
Life isn�t precious and life isn�t sacred
F#m C#m F#m C#m
Sometimes release only comes when you meet death
Dm Dm
A night of reprieve we were wrecked
F#m C#m F#m C#m
when we slept in the park
Dm Dm
When we woke in the morning you cried
Am Em F G
could I squeeze out the dark
Am Em F G
Destroy the noises that make all the voices
Am Em F G
Get them out of my head
Am Em F G
Bring on the screaming and I�ll take your demons
Am Em F Em
now that I�m already dead
[same as verse above]
Days of release when she almost felt better
Gradually faded and words couldn�t get her
Where is the light, where is the light, get the light
Fearless and clear all her doubts had been cast off
Last night alive is a nightmare I�m part of
Dreams are a lie, dreams are a lie
So am I
If that�s all there is then I might as well get in the fire
[same as chorus]
Destroy the noises that make all the voices
Get them out of my head
Bring on the screaming and I�ll take your demons now that I�m already dead
Oh how the rights of the righteous kept coming
Shining before like the day
I stand before them and cried that you�re dying your way
F#m C#m F#m C#m F#m C#m F#m
I�m still not sure if the right and the wrong side is one
