_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] Hi there, Wren.
It's [Gm] been a little while.
Did you miss me?
You thought you buried me,
[Dm] didn't you?
Risky.
Cause I [Gm] always come back.
Deep down you know that.
Deep down you know
I'm always [Dm] in periphery.
Wren, aren't you [Gm] pleased to see me?
It's been weeks since we
spoke bro, I know you need me.
[Dm] You're the sheep, I'm the shepherd, not your place [Gm] to
lead me.
[Dm] Not your place to be batting off the hand that feeds me.
Hi Wren.
I've been
taking some time [Db] to be distant.
I've been taking some time [Bb] to be still.
I've been taking
[Dm] some time to be by [A] myself since my therapist told [Dm] me I'm ill.
And I've been making some
[A] progress lately.
And I've learned so many [Bb] coping skills.
So I haven't really [A] needed
you much man.
I think we need to just step back and chill.
Wren, you sound more [Gm] insane
than I do.
You think that those doctors are really [Dm] there to guide you?
Been through this
a [Gm] million times.
Your civilian mind [E] is so perfect, they're always [Dm] being lied to.
Okay,
take [Gm] another pill boy.
Ground yourself in the sound of white [Dm] noise.
Follow this 10 step
program.
Rejoice.
All your problems will be gone.
Fucking done boy.
Nah mate.
This time
is different [Db] man, trust me.
I feel like things might be falling [D] in place.
And my music's
been kinda [A] doing bits too.
Like I actually might do [Dm] something great.
And when I'm gone,
maybe I'll [A] be remembered.
For doing something special [Bb] with myself.
That's why you don't
think that we [Am] should talk man.
Cos when you're with me, it never [Gm] seems to help.
You think
that you can amputate me?
I am you, you are me, you are I, I am we, we are one.
Split
in two, [Dm] that makes one.
So you see, you gotta kill you if you wanna kill me.
I'm not leftover
dinner, I'm not scraps [Gm] on the side.
Oh your music is thriving?
Delusional guy.
[Dm] Where's
your top 10 hit?
Where's your interview [Gm] with Oprah?
Where are your Grammys Wren?
[Dm] Nowhere.
Yeah but, my music's not commercial [A] like that.
I never chase numbers, [D] statistics or stats.
I never write hooks for the [Am] radio, they never even play me.
So why would I [Dm] concern myself
with that?
But my music is [A] really connecting.
And the people who [Bb] find it, respect it.
And
for me that's [A] enough cos this life's been tough so it gives me a purpose I can [G] rest
in.
Man, you sound so pretentious.
[Gm] Wren, your music is so self [Dm]-centred.
No one wants to
hear another [Gm] song about how much you [Dm] hate yourself.
Trust me.
You should be so lucky.
Having me inside you [Gm] to guide you, remind you, to manage expectations, [Dm] provide you perspective.
That thing you [Gm] neglected?
I get it.
You wanna be a [Dm] big deal?
Next you meet Hendrix?
Forget
it.
Man, it's not like [Bb] that.
Man, it's just like that.
I'm inside you, you [F] twat.
No, it's
not man, you're wrong.
When I write, I [Gm] belong.
Let me break the fourth wall by [Dm] acknowledging
this song.
Wren sits down, has [Gm] a stroke of genius.
He wants to write a song that was
not done [Dm] previous.
A battle with his sub-contrasts.
Eminem did it.
Played on guitar.
Plan B did
it.
[F] Man, you're not original, you [Gm] criminal rip-off.
Art is the pinnacle of your success
in stealing other people's [F] materials.
Wren, mate, we've heard it [G] all before.
Oh, she sells
seashells on the [Dm] seashore.
Fuck you.
I don't need you.
I don't [Db] need to hear this.
Cos I'm
fine by myself.
[D] I'm a genius.
And I will be great.
And [A] I will make waves and I'll shake
up the whole world beneath us.
[Gm] That's right, speak your truth.
Your fucking God complex
leaks out of you.
It's [Dm] refreshing to ask for you.
Say it [Gm] instead of downplay it.
Oh, music
is all about the creative process.
And if people can find something to relate to within
that, then that's just a bonus.
[Dm] Fuck you.
[Bb] I'ma fucking kill you, Wren.
Well, fucking
kill me then.
Let's fucking have you, Wren.
[Dm] I'ma do it.
Watch me prove it.
Who are you
to doubt my music?
[Db] Cos I call the shots.
I choose if you die.
[D] Yeah, I call the shots
and so I choose who [F] survives.
I'll tie you up in knots when I lock you inside.
_ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ Newsflash.
[Bb] I was created at the dawn of creation.
I am temptation.
[B] I am the snake in [Fm] Eden.
I am the
reason for treason, [Db] beheading all kings.
I am sin with no rhyme or reason.
[G] Son of [D] the
morning, [Ab]
Lucifer, [A] Antichrist, father of lies, [Bbm] Metopheles, Pruth [Gb] in a blender, [G] deceitful
pretender, the [Ab] banished avenger, the righteous surrender.
When standing in [D] front of my soul
are eclipsed.
[G] My name is stitched to [D] your lips so you see.
I will bow [E] to the [Db] will of
a [D] mortal, feeble than [Ab] normal.
You [G] wanna kill [D] me?
I'm eternal and mortal.
[Eb] I live in every
[Gb] [C] decision that catalyzes chaos or causes [Gb] division.
I live inside [D] death, the beginning of [Abm] end.
I am [Bb] you, you are [Bm] me.
I am [E] you, [N] Wren.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _

_ [A] _ [E] _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] Hi, Wren.
I've been taking some time [A] to be distant.
I've been taking some [Bb] time to be still.
I've been taking some time [Fm] to be by myself and
I've spent [Dm] half my life ill.
But just as sure as the [A] tide starts turning, just as sure
as the night has [Bb] dawn, just as sure as the [F] rainfall soon runs dry when you stand in [Dm] an
eye of a storm.
I was made to be [A] tested and twisted.
I was made to be broken [Bb] and beat.
I was made by his [Am] hand.
It's all part of his plan that I stand on [Dm] my own two feet.
And
you know me, my [A] will is eternal.
And you know me, you've met me [Bb] before.
Face to face with
the [F] beast, I will rise from the east and I'll settle on [Dm] the ocean floor.
And I go [A] by
many names also.
Some people know me as [Bb] Hope.
Some people [F] know me as the voice that you
hear when you loosen the noose [Dm] on the rope.
And you know how I [A] know that I'll prosper?
Because I stand here beside [Bb] you today.
I have stood in the [F] flames that cremated my brain
and I didn't [D] once flinch [Dm] or shake.
So coward the [D] man I've [A] become, when I sing from the
top [Bb] of my lungs, that I won't [F] retire.
I'll stand in your fire, inspired [Dm] by me to be strong.
And when I am [A] gone I will write in the music that I left [Dm] behind.
Ferocious, [F] persistent,
immortal like you, we're a coin made to different sides. _ _ _
[Bm] _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ [G] _ [A] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [Gm] _ [Dm] _ _

[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Gm] _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ When I was 17 years old, I shouted out into an empty room, into a blank canvas that I
would defeat the forces of evil.
And for the next 10 years of my life, I suffered the consequences. _ _ _
With autoimmunity, illness and psychosis.
_ As I got older, I realised there were no real
winners and there were no real losers in psychological warfare.
But there were victims
and there were students.
It wasn't David versus Goliath.
It was a pendulum, eternally swaying
from the dark to the light.
_ And the more intensely that the light shone, the darker the shadow it cast.
_ _ It was never really a battle for me to win.
It was an eternal dance.
And like a dance,
the more rigid I became, the harder it got.
The more I cursed my clumsy footsteps,
the more I struggled.
So I got older and I learned to relax.
And I learned to soften
and that dance got easier.
_ _ It is this eternal dance that separates human beings from angels,
from demons, from gods.
_ _ And I must not forget, we must not forget that we are human beings. _ _ _ _ _
