[C#m]Feel, don't watch t[B]he mercury drop

Verse x2
Save me from the tired hums
The crooked stares of the broken ones
One by one, let's watch them all disappear
I used to climb up to the attic at night
I'd end up in the basement screaming
I'm floating above all of you now

Chorus: x3
I never thought I'd see the day
They've got me by the throat
I'm force-fed all the answers
My paranoia spreads like cancer
I'm so far from all my problems now
C#m, B
[E]So I packed what's left of me and I'm leaving
[C#m]These city walls are [B]closing in on [E]me
Verse:
Take me back before it all began
Before I'd run and before I cared
Sometimes my best just isn't enough
