[CHORUS]
G5              D5      F5        C5    B5
I feel like I'm missing pieces of sleep,
G5        D5         F5       C5    B5
My memory fades to a pale landscape,
G5            D5       F5       C5    B5
You were an extinction a desert heat,
G5         D5   F5         C5    B5
A blind illness of my anxiety.

[BRIDGE] Play intro riff twice

[VERSE] - Same as verse 1 for:

Endless hours in bed no peace in this mind,
No-one know the hell where inocence lies,
Fragments crawling like cobwebs on stone,
Blows away the saftey only a sleeping pill knows.

[CHORUS 2] - Same as chorus 1
I feel like I'm missing pieces of sleep,
My memory fades to a pale landscape,
You were an extinction a desert heat,
A blind illness of my anxiety.
