This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

You get high with your destructive instinct

You get high with your corrosive instinct

Where can I go, to escape your foul mind tricks?

You're trying it more, but you will never break me

Cause you presume, the winner is you

But that's not true so say just words to me

Unreal what your hate's providing, say just words to me

Your talk is always contradiction, say just words to me

is it true that there is worth inside, so say just words to me

Your designs, all the worse from power craving

Your desires, only where there's fire burning

I'll show you the way, a pleasure that's for the taking

You're trying it more but you won't get satisfaction

Cause you presume the winner is you

but that's not true so say just words to me
