A#m
Burning on an autumn night
F# G#
A piece of me has been set
A#m
alight Moving like a locomotive
F# G#
To tear you up and take your
A#m
life away Coming down like
F#
Christmas lights Strung up on
G# A#m
these walls for countless nights
F#
Douse my house in gasoline
G#
Strike a match and walk
[Chorus 1]
A#m F#
Away yeah Feeding on
G#
the fainting models

Hey yeah White meat

Hey yeah Ocean filled
G#
with plastic bottles

Hey yeah Entitled waves

[Verse 2]
A#m
I’m turning in this burning wreck
F# G#
Shattered windshield broken back
A#m
Crawling on your arms to safety
F# G#
Before the flames take your life
A#m
away Stab me with stiletto heels
F# G#
Feed me pills and happy meals
A#m
Leave me here to bleed out slowly
F# G#
Smile spit and swiftly walk
[Chorus 2]
A#m F#
Away yeah Feeding on
G#
the fainting models

Our dreams were torn asunder
A#m
Quickly washed away
G#/C C# F#
Stranded in the ocean
G# A#m
Lost our only boat

Abandoned here and broken
G# A#m
Cost us everything we own

Away yeah Feeding on

the fainting models
