G# F#
Tonight I'll have a look

Buried beneath this house`

Out back a monster wears

A cloak of Persian leather

Behind the TV screen
C# B7 G#
I've fallen to my knees

I need to- get away
Verse 2:
G# F#
Blanket of silence
F#(9) C# B7 G#
makes me want to sink my teeth in deep
F#
Burn all the evidence
F#(9) C# B7 G#
of fabricated disbelief
F# F#(9) C# B7 G#
Pull back the curtains took a look into your eyes
F# F#(9) C# B7 G#
My tongue has now become a platform for your lies

Now-- you know

Deep in the jungle

A hand holds up the sky

While shamefully I make my plea
F#
The alters callin'
