Verse 1A#I feel the type of hungerC that comes from a pit inside ya
FThat bubbles up and overflowsA# when I get distracted by desire
I believe in artificial flowCers, just laying in bed for hoFurs
On sheets of last night's cottonA#, all threadbare and spun rotten
We ditch the destinationC for our own situation
FYou have gravitational pull,A# you're not a star you're a ******* constellation
These stupid clothes I hide inC, these nonsense words I'm writing
FJust other ways to disappeA#ar when things get too exciting
Pre-ChorusA#when things get too exciting,C when things get too exciting
FJust other ways to disappeaA#r when things get too exciting
ChorusLife's not symDmme-triCcal it rA#hymes
Sleeping on the fDmloor some of mCy happiest tDmimes
Life's not symDmme-triCcal it rA#hymes.DmCuh
InterludeA#CFA#
Verse 2A#I will not detach or shirk the fCact, sit here til the water runs out
HFiding from who I am from being a A#dad like a man, like an old man
What do these kids have that I dCon't besides clean shoes and high cheekbFones?
This is where I come to tell the A#truth, short like my temper since my youth
My bones are smart, my head is Cdumb
I trust my heart my brain is nuFmb
I will admit all my defA#eats
I will keep all of my receipts
And you will look at meC the way you used to look at me
FYeah you will look at meA# the way you used to
ChorusLife's not symDmmetricalCit rhyA#mes
Sleeping on the fDmloor some of Cmy happiest Dmtimes
From a nest of bDmlankets in the Ccorner of a A#hospital
Looking out the wiDmndow telCling time Dmfrom the colour of the sky

BridgeFYou're the pencil, I'm the page
A#You're the patience, I'm the rage
FYou're the song, I'm the stage
A#I'm the hours, your the wage
FYou're the burning, I'm the spark
A#You're the blinding, I'm the dark
CYou're the atom, I'm the qFuark
A#I'm the freeway,F you're the dog park
You're the burning, I'm the spark
A#You're the child, I'm the birthmark
CYou're the atom, I'm the qFuark
A#I'm the freeway,F you're the dog park
ChorusLife's not symDmmetricalCit rhyA#mes

from the Ccolour of the sky, from the Fcolour of the skyA#.
OutroIt's getting too Clate.Fto be what I might A#have been
