I'm alive [Ebm] in a _ lake _ with no [Bbm] audible _ sound. _ _
Something [B] like [Abm] everyone I've [B] ever known is around me [Ebm] and it looks [Abm] like I've let [B] them
all down somehow.
[Ebm] _ With everything known, _ _ [Bbm] _ they had nothing to say.
So I [B] spoke, remember [Abm] the first [B] time that you all heard my name.
Was it a blessing or a curse?
Has it been worse for that day?
And they [Gb] said, _ no. _ _
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _
They [B] said, we don't [Abm] blame you [B] for those worms in your head.
And then this sound so forgiving said, oh, now you know, now you know, now you [Gb] know how. _
Hell.
_ _ _ [Bbm] Hell. _
_ _ _ _ Looks [B] _
like Earth to some.
All of them _ worthy _ enough that they should [Gb] be _ held _ _ and they [Bbm] should. _
_ _ Hold.
_ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Oh.
_ _ _ _ [Ebm] _
And then like a bird, _ _ _ _ light as [Bb] my breath.
_ _ [Gb] _ _
[Bb] _ [B] My body was lifted and my eyes were shut closed after singing these thoughts that had never
been spoken [Ebm] of.
And then like a home _ _ [Bb] _ was rebuilt in my _ head.
[B] Everything melted and just in that moment, they told me it's over, but nothing is broken.
[Gb] So _ stay. _ _
That's that.
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _
We are [B] out _ of time.
So if life is so boring, _ you can [Gb] say _ _ _ _ that. That.
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _
Out of the [B] most _ _ harmful wound.
But life just goes on around you.
That feels [Gb] like. _ _ _ _ _
