Ever since the Dbmday I was Eborn
There were dark clouds Fhovering Aover the city where I Estay
AbmI don't Brecollect clear Abdays, mostly the fog and Dbmhaze
Because the Acity by the Bay stays Abgrey
EBut that's what made it great, consistently Dbmthe same
Also I Ahated it Ewhen I wanted a change
AbmBut I wasn't Aafraid, Dbmback then I Abmthought that I would live Dbmfor days
AA year was an eternity Eso yeah, I thought AbmI had it made
ABut I kept it Abhush, kept it Dbmhush, kept it hush
AYeah I kept it quiet and I Enever Abmopened up
F#mMade my own philosophy, the system is Dbmcorrupt
BMade my own Adecision that EI'd had Abenough
DbmI just never found what some say I would Abmfind
AI was making music just so I could Epass the time
Stored it in my Dbmmind, pushed it to the Abmside A
Realised that there Ewas lots to Abmcriticise
DbmOn some Edays, Dbmsome Edays
AI think about those days, Ethose days A

F#mAnd I start to Esee, every Fday was a Dbmroutine
AGet up in the morning, same Ething Abmevery week
ABut I didn't speak, Abmnever opened up my mouth
APretended I was listening when I was Abspacing out
Started to Abmhave doubts instead of me being deDbmvout
AI would've said it loud but I don't think that was Aballowed
ASo I kept it hush, kept it Abmhush, Dbmkept it hush
F#mYeah I kept it Equiet and I never opened Abmup
F#mMade my own philosophy, the system is Dbmcorrupt
