Ashnikko feat Ethel Cain - Dying Star

[Intro]
Em Bm C G D

[Verse 1]
Em Bm
The ground reaches out to catch me softly in her baseball mitt
C G D
I’m tired of the dirt and grit, I want something soft
Em Bm
I’m a fish in a bucket, thrashing, he tried to take me out, hooks in my mouth
C G
Listen to me when I say “ouch”, I want something soft

[Pre-Chorus]
Em
So I give in to the fall, fall, fall
Bm C
I need somethin’ soft, down feathers over rocks
C G D
I died and I land with both of my hands, in the mud, the mud
Em
It felt like a god how she held me
Bm
I slept on her shoulder, I gave her my all
C G D Em
I bathed in her waterfalls, and continue to fall, fall

[Chorus]
Em
Burnin’ like a dyin’ star, invasive weeds
Bm C
Rooted in my heart, set in a crooked trajectory
C G
The journey here was hard, I was almost pulled apart
G D
Tryin’ to leave his orbit took what’s left of me

[Verse 2]
Em Bm
The forest reaches out to guide me, blue fire paths of will-o’-wisps
C G D
Illuminate the darkness’s old tricks, I’m nobody’s captive (Mm)
Em Bm
I asked him not to kill me politely, he drained my magic core, bottled up at the source
C G D
I washed up on her sea glass shores, I’m nobody’s captive (Mm)

[Pre-Chorus]
Em
It felt like a god how she held me
Bm
I slept on her shoulder, I gave her my all
C G D Em
I bathed in her waterfalls, and continue to fall, fall

[Chorus]
Em
Burnin’ like a dyin’ star, invasive weeds
Bm C
Rooted in my heart, set in a crooked trajectory
C G
The journey here was hard, I was almost pulled apart
G D
Tryin’ to leave his orbit took what’s left of me
Em
Burnin’ like a dyin’ star, invasive weeds
Bm C
Rooted in my heart, set in a crooked trajectory
C G
The journey here was hard, I was almost pulled apart
G D
Tryin’ to leave his orbit took what’s left of me

[Outro]
Em Bm
The ground reaches out to catch me softly in her baseball mitt
C
I’m tired of the dirt and grit, I want something soft
