(Repeat intro's riff)
In my heart, sent my confession, my condolence,
You're indefinite, you're incompetent, inconsiderate.
You're so childish, I'll push you

Out of what is real out of my head.
D Dsus2 G
You can stick and drown at your residence of disappointments,
D
Are of yours to come.
A A/D
So embrace them oh my shallow one today
