Vices

Am F C G
Feeling cold, feeling empty. Set the stage, where you want me.
Am F C G
And this crowd right before me doesn?t care that I?m dying.
Am F C G
And the audience stands with their eyes fixed on the preconceived version of me.
Am F C G
I?m so betrayed by your hopes, but I will not hide myself for your peace of mind.
Chorus 1:
Am F C
Oh, but Child. I?ve got Vices like any other man.
Verse2: (same Chords as verse 1)
Raise a boy to a cynic. Take his love, and then let it turn into something passionate.
Something sick, something rabid.
And I vent to keep myself from caving. I don?t hate you, I just hate where I?m heading.
I?m left here asking, when did I trade in my bleeding heart for a selfish win?
Chorus 2:
Am F C
Oh, but Mother. I?ve got Vices like any other man.
Am F C G
Vices that you?re not used to. Vices that?ll make you think less of me.
Verse 3:
Leave me numb. Leave me jaded. She?s a dream, I just play dead.
I?ve been blessed, I?ve been hated. She?s the constant, and I?m her addict.
She?s the only peace in this world, uneasy.
While I bite my tongue to keep from breaking the heart that I?ve spent my whole life seeking.
The only heart I?ve ever needed.
Chorus 3:
Am F C G
Oh, but Lover. I?ve got Vices like any other man.
Am F C G
Vices that you?re not used to. Vices that?ll make you think...
Am F C G
Oh, but Lover. I?ve got Vices like any other man.
Am F C G
Vices that you?re not used to. Vices that?ll make you think less of me. Less of me.
Verse 4:
Feeling cold, feeling empty. I am low, unworthy.
Bleed the God. Bleed the blessing. Like a vulture feasting.
I?ll exist as if I don?t feel conviction of my ignorance to my perfect prison.
But I feel the stabs on my wrists and ankles every time I try...
Am F
To forget you.
C G
To forget you.
Chorus 4
Am F C G
Oh, but Jesus. I?ve got Vices like any other man.
Am F C G Am
Vices that you?re so used to. Vices that won?t make you think less of me.
