[Verse]
   C#7              
My anxiety's clawing
         C#7           
Out from deep within me
   C#7                                          
It burns within as my throat begins to cauterize
     C#                   
This negativity's leeching
    C#                
Any shred of composure
C#                                                
Rationale has decayed and left me bound in madness


[Chorus]
A       B   C#  
I reach for calm
E                      C#     
I starve for a balance unknown
A    B      C#                     E    B
This burden tortures me deep in my soul ■
A                              B        C#           
■ I've found that strife won't make the bleeding stop
            B    A            
Nor will it take away the pain
                 B         C#         
I feel like this search is all in vain
                  B       C# 
And I struggle to find my way


[Verse]
      C#                   
How I yearn for the silence
       C#               
For an end to the voices
    C#                                               
The calamity grows and the deafness leads to disarray
      C#             
Guilt buries me alive
     C#               
In a coffin criticized
  C#                                                     
I shouldered the blame and dug this hole for me to lay in


[Chorus]
  A     B   C#  
I reach for calm
E              D#m     C#     
I starve for a balance unknown
A    B      C#                     E   
This burden tortures me deep in my soul
A                              B        C#           
■ I've found that strife won't make the bleeding stop
C#7         B    A            
Nor will it take away the pain
                 B         C#         
I feel like this search is all in vain
                  B          
And I struggle to find my way
A                            B        C#           
I've found that strife won't make the bleeding stop
            B    A            
Nor will it take away the pain
                        B        C#         
I feel like this search has been all in vain
                  B       C# 
And I struggle to find my way
