"Desertion"
F#m D Bm C#
Verse 1:
I am trapped
I can't escape
no matter what
I just sealed my fate
There is time
in which I see grace
but here I am
I rather feel laced
I am tied up
and knotted with rope
I am unforgiven
I cannot cope
I am just no good
There is no way out
even if I pout
You can't hear me shout
Chorus:
I am lost not found
and determined to drown
Destination is near
and I shed these tears
I am forgotten
There is no cure
I'm rotten
So my mind ain't clear
Do I deserve death
cause the pain don't let?
How can I escape
When prison is set
I just want to sleep
the rest of my life
maybe end it all
and leave alright
Verse 2:
I have been tackled
I have been shackled
I have a concussion
My brain is spackled
I just feel torn
that you left me
so here I am
Can't you just save me
I know I'm bias
when it comes to you
But you were the one
From keeping me blue
You did not believe
and you have a clue
You said I was not right
but pain ensues
Chorus:
I am lost not found
and determined to drown
Destination is near
and I shed these tears
I am forgotten
There is no cure
I'm rotten
So my mind ain't clear
Do I deserve death
cause the pain don't let?
How can I escape
When prison is set
I just want to sleep
the rest of my life
maybe end it all
and leave alright
Verse 3:
I can't feel light
I feel so heavy
I know I am dead
Kill me, I am ready
I have no strength
I know I am right
I break my bones
I lost my might
This wire is tight
around my neck
So pull it tighter
Do not loose it yet
I am exhausted
by this coercion
It me myself
my desertion
Chorus:
I am lost not found
and determined to drown
Destination is near
and I shed these tears
I am forgotten
There is no cure
I'm rotten
So my mind ain't clear
Do I deserve death
cause the pain don't let?
How can I escape
When prison is set
I just want to sleep
the rest of my life
maybe end it all
and leave alright
