Go without 'til the need seeps in

you're low anymore; collect your novel petals for the stem
E
and glow, glow; melt and flow
[Verse]
E
eviserate your fragile frame
A E
spilled it all in ragged form; a thousand different versions of yourself
B A
and if the old gaurd still offend; you got nothing left on which you depend
A
so enlist ounce of your bright blood and off with their heads
[Chorus]
E A
Jump from the book; you're not obliged to swallow anything you despise
[Verse]
E
See those unrepenting buzzards want your life
A
when they got no right; as sure as you have eyes
E B A
they got no right
[Verse]

E
Just put yourself in my new shoes; and see that I do what I do

because the old gods still offend; we got nothing left on which we depend

E
Jump from the book; you're not obliged to swallow anything you despise
