Killing Positon by Symposium
Title: Killing Position
Artist: Symposium
Tabber: Philip Tweedie
Drop D Tuning (D A D G)
One of Symposium's hidden gems.
I've tried to give some sense of timing and rhythm but best listen to the song to get accurate timings

Dreaming quietly on my pillow, how my apathy leaves me hollow.
Sentimental thoughts won't get you anywhere, silent, searching,
looking for what isn't there

Never visiting me, one day, someday, Who do you think you are, Look at himself,
Climbing deep in side the hollows of my mind, Whispering that all my friends are enemies
