[Verse 1]
AmWhat's my problem?
Well, I want you to follow me down Em7/Bto the bottom
Underneath the insane asylum
G6Keep your wits about you while you got 'em
'Cause your wits are Dsus2/Afirst to go while you're problem-solving
And my problF6/Cem?
We glorify those, even more, when they
AmMy opinion
Our culture can treat a loss
Like Em7/Bit's a win and right before we turn on them
We G6give them the highest of praise, and hang their banner Dsus2/Afrom a ceiling
Communicating, further enF6/Cgraving
An earlier grave is an optional way
No
[Chorus]
AmNeon gravestones try to Em7/Bcall
(Neon gravestones try to call)
G6Neon gravestones try to Dsus2/Acall for my bones
(Neon gravestones try to call)
F6/CCall
(For my bones)
Call, call, Amcall Em7/B
G6Call Dsus2/A

AmWhat's my problem?
Don't get it twisted
It's with the Em/Bpeople we praise who may have assisted
I could Guse the streams and extra conversations
I could G/Agive up, and boost up my reputation
I could F/Cgo out with a bang
They would know my name
They would host and post a celebration
N.CMy opinion will not be lenient
N.CMy opinion, it's real convenient
N.COur words are loud, but now I'm talking action
N.CWe don't get enough love?
N.CWell, they get a fraction
N.CThey say, "How could he go if he's got everything?"
N.CI'll mourn for a kid, but won't cry for a king

[Bridge]
But they Gwon't get them
No, they Amwon't get them
They Dm7won't get them
But they Cwon't get them
[Verse 3]
GDon't get me wrong
The rise in awareness
Is Ambeating a stigma that no longer scares us
But for Dm7sake of discussion
In spirit of fairness
Could we Cgive this some room for a new point of view?
And, Gcould it be true that some could be tempted
To Amuse this mistake as a form of aggression?
A Dm7form of succession?
A form of a weapon?
Thinking "CI'll teach them"
Well, I'm refusing the lesson
It Gwon't resonate in our minds
I'm Amnot disrespecting what was left behind
Just Dm7pleading that "it" does not get glorified
Maybe we Cswap out what it is that we hold so high
GFind your grandparents or someone of age
AmPay some respects for the path that they paved
To Dm7life, they were dedicated
Now, Cthat should be celebrated
