Created by: dcolspector
In the verses, C#m/E can be substituted for an E6 (x065540).
C#m/E F#m
C#m/EYou like to think that you can,
Live beyond good and F#mevil.
C#m/EAmputated from humanity,
On some lifelong inteF#mllectual retreat.
Dm7Everything is conceptual and all is rhetorical,
You canCm7 feel so powerful.
When you're Dm7forced to face the physical world,
You scurry Emlike an Ginsect.
There is a Emvirus in your Gtenets,
Don't be Amnaive, you know it's Gtrue. Bbm7
And if you Dmdon't protect yourEself,
ObCsidian Gcurrents, obCsidian Dcurrents,
Will devour Fmyou. G
CAh, Bah, Emah, Fmooh, F#mooh. C#m/E
You have committed yourself,
Wholly to the dominion of semantics and ideas.
All things cerebral and abstract,
With no patience for impractical emotions.
Burning everyone who ever tried,
To get close to you
But you're so lizard-like,
You don't feel any passion,
For anything but yourself.
There is a virus in your tenets,
Don't be naive, you know it's true.
And if you don't protect yourself,
Obsidian currents, obsidian currents,
Will devour you.
Ah, ooh, ooh.
C#m/E
