[G]
These head holes, fragments of shattered glass, They act as puzzle pieces with a sharp contrast
in part to what once hung here, for the violent collapse of the whole damn thing.
I dug through [C] pieces and ripped out my hair, [G]
no way to tell if they are all still there,
no way to tell if I will ever fully see my reflection.
Yet,
[Bm] [G] [Em] I was born on a set of [G] stairs, higher than I was even [C] aware.
I looked down to enjoy the view, an iconic glimpse of [Em] you.
You were tired and hungry [G] and cold, your head were hard and your face was [C] old,
your legs [G] collapsed as you fell and sat.
And you felt what you're looking for, yet you're wrong.
My hands hold letters from an old past self, I [Bm] say we're all [G] alone and I know how it felt to be one,
[Bm] lost [G] and cold and empty.
And I would sit [Bm] down [G] and the system would say,
MOVE ON, MOVE ON, MOVE ON, MOVE ON, THERE'S NOTHING TO SEE HERE,
WE GOTTA KEEP THIS [Bm] LEGEND GOING, [G] AND IF THE SYSTEM HAS US SLOWING,
THEN IT'S BEEN SMART FOR [Bm] YOU, THEY SLIPPED FOR [G] US,
AND THEY'VE ADAPTED A KIND OF PEOPLE [Em] WE CAN'T TRUST.
Now, grooving at the pace of [G] the surrounding freezing air,
Desiring to spit straight into the face of billionaires,
[Em] But oh, too damn far, [G] cowardly to do this on my [C#] own,
Clinging to my theory [C] plus, me, Chevron.

And it's flowing, but I'm also insecure,
And the trick is always knowing,
If the rain keeps us here,
It's the food for my mind and body,
And it brings me back to earth,
So when the sunrise lays down, you shut out all my doubt,
I'll burn a hole in my chest so you can't see through,
I'll tell you things I thought I never knew,
We'll build a home for me and you,
I'll see the world for [C] what I want it to be,
And [G] nothing else.
