Is This A Joke (Live Intro Song) टैब्स

(Maynard speaking)

We've been... we've been trying something... a little different this tour. We've been looking at... one of our songs... from a different angle... under a different light... so we can hopefully kind of... see it almost for the first time. We'd like to try that for you tonight, is that OK?

We're gonna need your help though. We need your help, and your permission. So we need you to find a comfortable space, that's not only comfortable, but vulnerable, and to just shut your eyes and go there, and we'll meet you on the other side.

I saw the gap again today
While you were begging me to stay
Take care not to make me enter
If I do we both may disappear
If I do we both may disappear

I saw the gap again today
While you were begging me to stay
Managed to push myself away
And you as well, my dear
And you as well, my dear
Pushed you away, my dear
Pushed you away
Pushed you away
Pushed you away, my dear

I will choke until I swallow
Choke this infant here before me
What are you but my reflection?
Who am I to judge or strike you down?
Who am I to judge or strike you down?

But you're pushing, and I'm shoving you
And you're pushing me, and I'm shoving you

Rest your trigger on my finger
Bang my head upon the fault line
You'd better take care not to make me enter
If I do we both may disappear
If I do we both may disappear

But you're pushing, and I'm shoving you
And you're pushing me, and I'm shoving you
You still love me, you still love me
You still love me, you still love me
You're pushing, and we're shoving
And we're pushing, and I'm shoving
And we're still love me, you still love me
You still love me, you still love me
You're pushing, and we're shoving
And I'm pushing, and you're shoving

And I'm slipping back into
The gap again
I feel alive when you touch me
I feel alive when you hold me
Down

Slipping back into
Slipping back into

I am somewhere I don't wanna be, again
Put me somewhere I don't wanna be
Push me somewhere I don't wanna be
Seeing someplace I don't wanna see
Never wanna see that place again

I saw the gap again today
While you were begging me to stay
Managed to push myself away
And you as well, my dear

If when I say I might fade like a sigh if I stay
You minimize my movement anyway
I must persuade you another way

Pushing and shoving
And pushing and shoving
And pushing me
There's no love in that

Staring down the hole again
Hands are on my back again
Survival is my only friend
Terrified of what may come

Remember I'll always love you
As I claw your fucking throat away
It will end no other way
It will end no other way
