Apathy was a game I never played
       Cm          Fm               Cm         D
'Cause agony was a feeling I'd been steeped in slow
Cm              Fm           Cm
Swapping all my smiles for a scowl
    Cm            Fm                Cm    D      G
And sheltering my shortcomings from every prying eye
                    Ab         Gm
But I'm letting the old demons out
         Fm              G
Bringing down the walls around
          Ab           D - G - Cm
All the denial and the doubt
(Solo)

           Cm                 Fm               Cm
I won't be satisfied 'til the saccharine faces fade
         Cm             Fm          Cm       D
Making a mockery of mythologies and tried traditions
Cm        Fm              Cm
For I was blind now I can see
      Cm                  Fm                Cm      D        G
Every obstacle through soliloquy clears its path in front of me
                    Ab         Gm
But I'm letting the old demons out
         Fm              G
Bringing down the walls around
          Ab           D - G - Cm
All the denial and the doubt

And If I suddenly sink
Gm     Fm             Gm
Into a cowardly drink
   Ab                   Gm
To drown out the swarm
       Ab                Gm
of the hive minded bees
Cm         Bb      Ab      Gm
Strike the spirits from my rigid wrists
    Fm      Gm                           Cm
And pull me out of the tide I'm tumbling in
(Solo)

But I'm letting the old demons out
         Fm              G
Bringing down the walls around
          Ab           Gm
All the denial and the doubt
      Fm            G
Every painful plea aloud
            Ab         Gm
Kicking the old demons out
         Fm              G
Bringing down the walls around
          Ab           D - G - Cm
All the denial and the doubt
