Verse 1
Dm
Hi there Ren, it's been a little while,
Gm
did you miss me?
You thought you'd buried me,
Dm
didn't you? Risky
'Cause I always come back,
Gm
deep down, you know that
Deep down, you know I'm
Dm
always in pe riphery
Ren, aren't you pleased to see me?
Gm
It's been weeks since we spoke bro,
I know you need me
Dm
You're the sheep, I'm the shepherd,
not your place to lead me
Gm
Not your place to be biting off
Verse 2
the hand that feeds me
Dm
Hi, Ren, I've been taking some time
A
to be distant
Bb
I've been taking some time to be still
I've been taking some time
F
to be by myself
Dm
Since my therapist told me I'm ill
A
And I've been making some progress lately
Bb
And I've learnt some new coping skills
F
So I haven't really needed you much, man
Verse 3
I think we need to just step back and
(chill—) Ren, you sound more insane
Gm
than I do
You think that those doctors
Dm
are really there to guide?
You've been through this a million times
Gm
Your ci vilian mind is so perfect
Dm
at always being lied to
"Okay, take another pill, boy
Gm
Drown yourself in the sound of white noise
Dm
Follow this ten-step program, re joice
Gm
All your problems will be gone!"
Verse 4
Fuckin' dumb boy—
Dm
Nah mate, this time
A
it's different, man, trust me
Bb
I feel like things might be falling in place
F
And my music's been kinda doing bits too
Dm
Like I actually might do something great
And when I'm gone,
A
maybe I'll be re membered
Bb
For doing something special with myself
That's why I don't
F
think that we should talk, man
'Cause when you're with me,
Verse 5
it never seems to
(help) You think that you can amputate me?
I am you, you are me, you are I, I am we
We are one, split in two,
that makes one, so you see
You got to kill you if you wanna kill me
Dm
I'm not leftover dinner,
I'm not scraps on the side
Gm
Oh, your music is thriving? Delusional guy
Dm
Where's your top ten hit?
Where's your interview with Op rah?
Gm
Where are your Grammies, Ren? Nowhere!
Verse 6
Dm
Yeah, but, my music's
A
not commercial like that
Bb
I never chased numbers, statistics or stats
I never write hooks for the radio,
F
they never even play me
Dm
So why would I concern myself with that?
A
But my music is really con necting
Bb
And the people who find it, res pect it
And for me, that's enough
F
'cause this life's been tough
Verse 7
So it gives me a purpose I can
(rest in) Man, you sound so pretentious
Gm
Ren, your music is so self-centred
Dm
No one wants to hear another song about
Gm
How much you hate yourself, trust me
Dm
You should be so lucky,
having me inside you to guide you
Gm
Re mind you to manage expectations
Dm
Provide you per spective,
that thing you neglected, I get it
Gm
You wanna be a big deal,
Dm
next Jimi Hendrix? For get it
Man, it's not like that—
Gm
Man, it's just like that,
I'm inside you, you twat
Dm
No, it's not, man, you're wrong,
when I write, I belong—
Gm
Let me break the fourth wall
Verse 8
by acknowledging this song
Dm
Ren sits down, has a stroke of ge nius
Gm
He wants to write a song
that was not done previous
Dm
A battle with his subconcious—
Eminem did it!
Played on guitar—
Plan B did it!
Dm
Man, you're not original,
you criminal, rip-off art ist
Gm
The pinnacle of your success
Dm
is stealing other people's mate rial
Ren, mate, we've heard it all before
Verse 9
"Uh, she sells seashells on the sea shore"
Dm
Fuck you, I don't need you,
A
I don't need to hear this
Bb
'Cause I'm fine by myself, I'm a genius
F
And I will be great, and I will make waves
And I'll shake up
the whole world be neath us
That's right, speak your truth,
Gm
your fuckin' God complex leaks out of you
Dm
It's re freshing to actually hear you say it
Gm
instead of down play it:
"Ugh, music is all about
the creative process
and if people can find
Something to relate to within that,
Verse 10
then that's just a bonus"
Dm
Fuck you, I'ma fuckin' kill you, Ren—
Gm
Well, fucking kill me then,
let's fuckin' have you, Ren—
Dm
I'm a do it, watch me prove it,
who are you to doubt my music?
A
'Cause I call the shots, I choose if you die
Bb
Yeah, I call the shots,
and so I choose who survives
F
I'll tie you up in knots when I lock you inside

Dm
That I stand on my own two feet
A
And you know me, my will is e ternal
Bb
And you know me, you've met me be fore
Face-to-face with a beast,
F
I will rise from the east
Dm
And I'll settle on the ocean floor
A
And I go by many names also
Bb
Some people know me as "hope"
Some people know me
F
as the voice that you hear
Dm
When you loosen the noose on the rope
A
And you know how I know that I'll prosper?
Bb
'Cause I stand here beside you to day
I have stood in the flames
F
that cre mated my brain
Dm
And I didn't once flinch or shake
A
So cower at the man I've be come
Bb
when I sing from the top of my lungs
F
That I won't retire, I'll stand in your fire,
Dm
in spire the meek to be strong
A
And when I am gone, I will rise
Bb
in the music that I left be hind
F
Ferocious, persistent, im mortal like you

Outro 2
When I was 17 years old,
I shouted out into an empty room
Into a blank canvas,
that I would defeat the forces of evil
And for the next ten years of my life,
I suffered the consequences
With autoimmunity, illness, and psychosis
As I got older, I realised
that there were no real winners
And there were no real losers
In psychological warfare
But there were victims
and there were students
It wasn't David versus Goliath,
it was a pendulum
Eternally swayin' from the dark to the light
And the more intensely that the light shone,
the darker the shadow it cast
It was never really a battle for me to win,
it was an eternal dance
And like a dance, the more rigid I became,
the harder it got
The more I cursed my clumsy footsteps,
the more I struggled
So I got older and I learned to relax
And I learned to soften
and that dance got easier
It is this eternal dance
that separates human beings
From angels, from demons, from gods
And I must not forget, we must not forget
That we are human beings
