INTRO RIFF: E Eb E
GEE
INTRO RIFF
I'm the escapist,
Scrutinized to hell and I'm trapped under water.
The Caustics; they embrace me.
I'm bleeding through my wrists as you stare in fascination. (So watch me go)
B B B A Eb E Eb GEb
If I was gonna let go, I would have put it on the bill.
B B B A Eb E Eb E
I should be hiding in the rafters, instead I'm drowning in the well.

INTRO RIFF
I was an artist.
I fibbed around the meaning cause the truth didn't cut it.
On to another city.
Unpack the shackles. Wow 'em with the lies that I've gutted. (So watch me go)
B B B A Eb E Eb Eb
It's all interpretation. Now you see me. Now you don't
B B B A Eb E Eb Bb
Behind the smoke and mirrors. I'm still drowning in the well.
A Eb
Cut my teeth as a conjuror.
E Bb
Sleight of hand and in total control.
A Eb
Get me out of this predicament
E
before I go unknown.

INTRO RIFF
I'm up here dying.
You paid your admissions; did you get what you wanted?
This night won't go forgotten
in a padded cell, comatose and rotten. (So watch me go)
B B B A Eb E Eb EEb
I thrash about the septic. My lungs filling up with spite.
B B B A Eb E Eb EBb
I'm dying in this theater. Thanks for coming Goodnight.
A Eb
Cut my teeth as a conjuror.
E Bb
Sleight of hand and in total control.
A Eb
Get me out of this predicament
E Bb
before I go unknown.
