Intro:
GDFGCGDFGDC
It's dark at four PM in Leeds
GDF
the steeples pierce the skylight till the last of it bleeds
GDFGmCmFCCm
The absent sound of another day as it recedes into the shadows until it's nothing
GDC
Fax papers slipped under the hotel room door
GDF
like food for the prisoner or the prospect to the whore
GDFGmCmFCCm
Well fed and halfway drunk I ache myself for more until I'm shadows of myself until I'm nothing
CA7GCm
Sixteen black churches burning on the TV
CA7GCm
all the way from Texas to Tennessee
CA7GCmGmCmFCCm
a politician locks my eye and says to me there is no crisis here there's no conspiracy
GDFC
I crave inertia every move made so I can stop
GDF
Whatever this madness is in me spinning like a top
GDFGmCmFCCm
on a bed of anxiety over a deep dark drop down into nothingness into without-youness
CA7GCm
Was it ever so evil creep like ivy,
CA7GCm
toe hold on the stronger half of nature's dichotomy
CA7GCm
Beating back a path through nothing more than pure insistence
GmCmFCCm
Until here becomes the distance
Interlude:
GDFCGCmGDFC
Hold my head love I'm sick tonight
GDF
find the open hole and press your finger there will all your might
GDF
before the last ounce of my spirit bleeds
GmCmFCCmG
onto the pristine sheets of the hotel bed in Leeds
