Still see snakes so 

I'm cuttin' up the lawn

I can feel the hate in

 an obvious way

Wake up and I pray at 

the start of the day

Are you hungry? I could put

my heart on a plate

I've been doin' all of 

this by myself Lord

Take flight before the 

crash and burn

Left in a hurry for a fast return
Dm
Calm with the reaper but 

the idiot dies
F                       
Devil twist the truth but 
G
the pastor lies
Dm
Baptized in that fire water
     F               E
I'ma die harder than Bruce Willis
Dm
Too witted I'm a loose cannon
     F              
Keep your nose out, 
        G
you got no business
Dm
So see us I'm sick of you
C
Point and aim, 

I don't pick and chose
Dm
Pillow talk is what benches do
        F          
But I'm brain dead, 
           G
you better think it through
    Dm
You can't hide from your past
   F                  E
He show his face like peek-a-boo
    Dm
You don't have no respect
     F                G
Them young gun's gon' teach it to
   Dm
My next move will be 

my best move
   C          E
My last move, total lie
Dm
Build my kingdom like Camelot
   F                    G
Go to war for love, Sir Lancelot
     Dm
They dance around, I mosh pit
  F                        E
I speak the truth and they talk crap
Dm
Times short, hear the clock tick
        F           
No more locked doors,  
         A
I'm the lock smith
 
[Chorus]

Loose screw, tight circle
F          E
Eradicate, dead weight
Dm
My move, your move

My move, checkmate

Won't lose, too soon
F           E
To die, I'm too great
Dm
Next move my best move
F         G
You lose, checkmate

Loose screw, tight circle
