I [B] want to create, [D] to maybe find those who relate
[G] But my struggles feel inadequate
[A] And all I make just [B] simulates what I can't explain
[D] And it feels like I feign
[G] These difficulties [A] opportunistically
To capitalise off my pain
[B] To make art from [D] something difficult
[G] I know [A] can be healing
[B] But how [D] much do I [G] rely on self [A]-destructive feelings?
[Bm] Will I batten [D] myself in the fuel for the [G] fire of [A] demoralised times?
[B] Is it really [D] constructive to [G] wait for the next bad [A] thing to happen?
[B] Is it inspiration?
[D] Is it a way of confronting?
[G] Am I staminating?
Or [A] am I overcoming?

[B] When I quickly [D] repurpose it [G] to sellable [F#m] melodrama?
[B] Sometimes I [D] doubt myself so [G] much
Are my [A] tragedies offensive?
[B] Or just a [D] creative writing [G] tool for me to [A] make a book quick?
[B] Well, if someone I love dies
Will I find [D] I start to write an [G] entire concept album
About [A] how they're no longer alive?
And will it [B] really be needed to [D] profit from the process?
[G] Does it come from a need to make art to [A] survive
Or just dramatic excess?
And if [B] there's fire, then I think [D] I'm gonna die
The more [G] I repeat it, the more it [A] feels like a lie
Well, it's not [B] that bad
Well, at least, [D] at least, at least
Well, at least [G] I didn't die
So that this song [A] could be released
To [Bm] make art from [D] something difficult
