Song Structure:
===============
---> Drum Intro (No Guitar)
---> Play Intro (x1):
---> Play Verse 1 (x8) over:
   Uh!
   Hey!
   Check it out!
   You got clout and you know that!
---> Play Verse 1 over:
   Large in the margin
   My drama unfolds behind closed doors
   Told on the down-low
   I believe that I'm so but really
   I don't know
   Maybe it's better, but I can't think so
   Maybe it's better to fight
   One never ever knows
   Believe the rumors that grow like tumors
   More fun than the truth
   That we know
---> Play Bridge 1 (x1) over:
   Trying
   Too hard to reach a higher plane
   We'll fuck you up
---> Play Verse 2 over:
   When you least expect it
   You think you're movin' close
   So and suddenly you wrecked it
   For all the sane the pain gains wisdom
   As if you ain't had enough then you're in some
   Prison of your own creation
   ??? dilation
   Look at what your facin' placin'
   Play and never redirect it
   'Cause in the end it's your own infection, yeah
---> Play Bridge 2 (x1)
---> Play Chorus (x1) over:
   There's no way to avoid listening
   Always end up listening
   He's hoping the voices aren't too unkind
   He's hoping the voices are benign
   It's easier when you hear it
   There's no reason to fear it
   It's you, It's you
---> Play Verse 3 (x4) over:
   You think they'll probably find you
   Well then you're probably right
   'Cause they'll come back to remind you for eternity
   When you gave up the fight, yeah
   Somehow they always will find you
   The voices in the night and every night
   Keep comin' back to remind you for eternity
   Of when you gave up the fight
---> Play Verse (x4):
---> Play Chorus (x1) over:
   There's no way to avoid listening
   Always end up listening
   He's hoping the voices aren't too unkind
   He's hoping the voices are benign
   It's easier when you hear it
   There's no reason to fear it
   It's you, It's you
