drywall

Capo: 1st fret

[Verse 1]
        C                                 F
He's punching walls again, cohesive arguments evade him
     C                                F
Eggshell temperament, no emotional regulation
       C
Hysterical baby, his gaze always evades me
        F                                                  C
Doesn't know that he is pavin' the road for my escape way every time
              F
I scratch another line
 
 
[Chorus]
                             C
I used to think of him a caring thing, knuckles on his drywall
                      F
I've tried all of the parenting
                                        C
Descent into hysterically, rippin' into ribbons
                                          F
The things he knows he isn't and severing ties
 
 
[Verse 2]
                  C                               F
  Funny rationality, what would positions in power be?
                                  C
Led by feelings that seemingly change hourly
                        F
I'm floored you ever got there
            C
And when he snaps out of it
                            F
He drones in monotone, on a power trip
                                         C
With telltale blood still running in his coward lips
                                   F
From raising strokes that he hopes I'll cower in
 
 
[Chorus]
                         C
I used to think of him a caring thing, knuckles on his drywall
                      F
I've tried all of the parenting
                                        C
Descent into hysterically, rippin' into ribbons
                                          F
The things he knows he isn't and severing ties

F
Never making good on silent threats
                             C
So that he knows that I have nothing
F
Never making good on silent threats
                             C
So that he knows that I have nothing
F
Never making good on silent threats
                             C
So that he knows that I have nothing
F
Never making good on silent threats
                             C
So that he knows that I have nothing
Am
Never making good on silent threats
                             Em
So that he knows that I have nothing
F
Never making good on silent threats
                             G
So that he knows that I have nothing
Am
Never making good on silent threats
                             Em
So that he knows that I have nothing
           F             Dm
Oh, but he has nothing

I used to think of him a caring thing, knuckles on his drywall
                      F
I've tried all of the parenting
                                        C
Descent into hysterically, rippin' into ribbons
                                          F
The things he knows he isn't and severing ties
 
 
[Outro]
             C       F
I'm severing ties
         C         F   C
Severing ties
