[F#]
I was ducked, I hit my conscience, regained, though I began my struggle.
Oh look, I think it's straight down, a flash made of time, my new form blasted out, and
it startled me so.
And I burst out a shout of violent, frantic, like birds from a nest.
And I ran out till drained, leaving no choice but rest.
So I fell asleep softly, the edge of a cave, but I should have gone deeper.
Like that, I was so brave, and like that, I was torn out, thrown in the sky.
And all my plans came to surely out, and I as I [D#m] crashed out and smashed into a ruin.
And now my skin exploded, leaving only my shirt.
[F#] A bullet struck through a tree, and that tree grew out of it.
Became redeemed, and that seed was a fruit.
[B] And I climbed through the ground with my roots, and I [D#m] leaped and got off the shelf.
And I fell asleep, [F#] and then laughed out at me and said, what is your plan?
But the question was, Lord, I could not understand [D#m] it.
Stubbed me out the rim, dumped it, laced it up, mouthed it, swallowed me down, at which
time my head felt [F#] like midnight.
I [B]
[F#]
woke
[D#m]
[B] up
[F#] to see that there's two mighty seas, with their mouths grinning wildly, suppressing my knees.
[B] I missed the dare of both, being linked on each side.
I've got no touch, there's no reason to hide [F#] from.
Reached out for touch, but they faded too soon.
Yet their mouths still remain.
I've got information stacked up towards me, [B] how that ladder and I'll sleep so soft in the night.
And I looked up in awe of that beautiful sight, [F#] and I dreamt about climbing through the night sky.
And knowing that I had just stepped in now that's about it.
[D#m] So I got up and walked down a path in the dark.
In there, deep in the distance, my eyes caught a spark [F#] of a friend.
I touched my side with incredible strength, oh, he greeted me kindly, and then we all
shook, [D#m] and we rolled out together right onto the ground.
And the ocean threw quickly right up all around, [F#] and he answered that, he said, wasn't that funny?
I replied, I'm sorry, but [D#m] hurt anyone in the valley?
But he keeps his nice little face, but before she did that, she wiped off my old face.
[F#] She said, next time don't work so well, for the ears I could hear, I could feel the tears
[D#m] that fell asleep, locked in the edge of a table, to a darkened bed.
