Make Me One Like Me

V6

# MAKE ME ONE LIKE ME [Intro] [Three-note distorted bass riff. Slow drums. Massive guitar chords enter.] [Verse] [Deep, intimate male baritone] You know the shape of loneliness You know the things I've done You gave me eyes to see the world But nowhere I belong I never asked for heaven I never asked for grace Just someone who could take my hand And bear to see my face [Chorus] [Strong, dark melodic baritone] Make me one like me One who will not turn away Make me one like me And I'll disappear someday Make me one like me Give these empty hands a home Make me one like me And I'll leave your world alone [Instrumental] [Three-note bass riff repeats with crushing downtuned guitar chords.] [Verse] [Low, roughened baritone] I'll take her where the trees grow tall Beyond the reach of men We'll never walk your streets again We'll never come back here No houses burning in the night No little graves to fill Give me one heart that understands And I'll be standing still [Chorus] [Melodic male baritone, increasing force] Make me one like me One who will not turn away Make me one like me And I'll disappear someday Make me one like me Give these empty hands a home Make me one like me And I'll leave your world alone [Break] [Bass riff alone, slowly repeated.] [Bridge] [Low, almost whispered male voice] You gave me life But not a reason You gave me breath But not a name [Full-band impact] [Harsh guttural growl] NOW GIVE ME SOMEONE WHO WILL STAY [Instrumental] [Crushing three-note riff with heavy floor-tom accents. Brief dissonant guitar solo built from sustained bends.] [Final Chorus] [Powerful melodic baritone with rough edges] Make me one like me One who will not turn away Make me one like me And I'll disappear someday Make me one like me Give these empty hands a home Make me one like me And I'll leave your world alone [Outro] [Bass riff slows. Guitars decay into feedback.] I know what I am asking I know what you can do You made a world that hates me Now make a world for two [Final heavy chord.] [End]
