Dying is a Side-Effect
Verse:
F | C | Bb | Bb
Well I have to tell the truth because I’ve seen all kinds of days,
and the one thing that I know: you get more from letting go than you do from chasing.
Can you hear me coming through? It must be loud inside your head.
You’ve been misused, abused, refused, confused and wonder it this is what it’s like to be dead.
Pre-Chorus:
D | C
Chorus:
G | D | C | D
Why do I suspect and I sit here starving for attention?
Is living just another most ridiculous invention? (another grand experiment in tension).
Is anyone the least concerned with all of the neglect?
The innocent sleep unprotected and dying’s just, dying’s just a side-effect.

Verse:
F | C | Bb | Bb
This is probably a useless cry, into the darkness and the rest.
I started to believe that there’s no one in charge of this fucking mess.
Not just a ship without a sail. The captain’s bailed and the engine’s failed.
We look to the horizon for a sign or something, but a storm is coming and the waves are rising.
Pre-Chorus:
D | C
Chorus:
G | D | C | D
Why do I suspect and I sit here starving for attention?
Is living just another most ridiculous invention? (another grand experiment in tension).
Is anyone the least concerned with all of the neglect?
The innocent sleep unprotected and dying’s just, dying’s just a side-effect.

God-forsaken spinning rock, at the mercy of every mad prediction.
Compassion only finds affliction as a curiosity becomes an addiction.
So I challenge you to come and see how bad your planning was.
Prayer never helps so I’m demanding. Are you waiting ‘til there’s nothing at all left standing?
Pre-Chorus:
D | C
Chorus 2X:
G | D | C | D
Why do I suspect and I sit here starving for attention?
Is living just another most ridiculous invention? (another grand experiment in tension).
Is anyone the least concerned with all of the neglect?
The innocent sleep unprotected and dying’s just, dying’s just a side-effect.
