Biography:
Moses Sumney (born 19 May 1990) is a Los Angeles-based singer and songwriter.
Growing up, he was so shy that he would write songs avidly but hide them inside his mattress. At 20, he moved out of his parents' house to study creative writing at UCLA and finally gathered the courage to start performing music. After purchasing a beat-up guitar from a friend, he taught himself to play and accompany himself. He grew quickly as an artist at UCLA, soon performing weekly alongside the university's most esteemed musicians.

[Verse 1]
C
Hollow one
G
With inverted tongue
Dm Am
From whence does fulfillment come?
C
When I expel
G
From this mortal shell
Dm Am
Will I die for living numb?
[Chorus 1]
C Em
Am I vital
G Dm
If my heart is idle?
Am
Am I doomed?
C Em
Am I vital
G Dm
If my heart is idle?
Am
Am I doomed?
[Verse 2]
C G
I feel you
Dm
But nobody else
Am
Though you're someone I can't see
C G
Yet you say nothing
Dm
Of the stoic suffering
Am
That stirs lukewarm in me
C G
If lovelessness is godlessness
Dm Am
Will you cast me to the wayside?
C G Dm
Well, I feel the peeling of half-painted ceilings
Am
Reveal the covering of a blank sky
[Chorus 2]
C Em
Am I vital
G Dm
If my heart is idle?
Am
Am I doomed?
C Em
Cradle me
G Dm
So I can see
Am
If I'm doomed
[Chorus 2]
C Em
Am I vital
G Dm
If my heart is idle?
Am
Am I doomed?
C Em
Cradle me
G Dm
So I can see
Am
If I'm doomed
