[Intro 1]
[G][A][D][G][A][D][G]
[A][D][G][A][D][G]
[Bm]

[Verse 1]
Breathing [Em]an a[Bm]ir
Per[Em]meated, soaked in darkness
Eman[F#]ating [F#m]from w[F#]ithin
Res[F#m]onat i[D]ng like a scre[A]am
no one can [Bm]hear

[Verse 2]
[Em]I wear this chao[Bm]s well[Em]
Though none should save me
Desper[F#]ation keeps me here
My [F#m]need for i[D]nnocence
The [A]place where I [Bm]began
The [Em]abyss becomes me
I wear this chaos [F#]well[F#m]
[D]

[Verse 3]
[A]
Are these not [Bm]words of heresy?
A venom [Em]on my lips, a poison?
My [Bm]spiri[F#m]t impu[F#]rified
[Bm]In everything I choose to [Em]say
With [G]you I stand in

[Verse 4]
[A]hope
That God will save [F#m]us
from [G]ourselves
Every cry a wasted moment
[A]Until anoth[D]er day is los[G]t
Even lands we once called [A]home
Lie undis[F#m]covered and [G]unknown
[Em]Only heaven's si[Bm]lence
[F#m]for an answer[Bm]
And did our [G]laughter, did our [A]tears
Have some pur[F#m]pose after a[G]ll?
Did we toil in vain in hope
[A]That wisdom cam[D]e from
what we'd [G]done?
Even [Em]lands we once c[F#m]alled [F#]home
Lie un[F#m]dis co[D]vered and unknown
[Em]Only heaven's silenc[F#m]e
[F#]for an a[Bm]nswer

[Interlude 1]
[Bm][G]

[Verse 5]
[G]Are [Bm]these not [Em]words[Bm] of heresy?
A [Em]venom on my lips, a poison?
My spir[F#m]it impurified
In everything [D]I choose to s[A]ay

[Verse 6]
If I [A]would [Bm]shed my skin, the layers left
But [Em]not the lessons learned
It would not undo what [F#m]I have done
Or grant for[Bm]giveness in
some [Em]better days
With [G]you I stand in

[Verse 7]
[A]hope
That God will save [F#m]us
from [G]ourselves
Every cry a wasted moment
[A]Until anoth[D]er day is los[G]t
Even lands we once called [A]home
Lie [F#m]undiscovered and [G]unknown
[Em]Only heaven's [Bm]silence [F#]for an answe[Bm]r
And did [G]our laughter, did our [A]tears
Have some [F#m]purpose after [G]all?
Did we toil in vain in [A]hope
That wisdom [D]came from
what we'd [G]done?
Even land[Em]s we once called ho[F#]me
Lie [F#m]un dis[F#] cov[Bm]ered and[D] unknown
[Em]Only heaven's silenc[F#]e
for an [Bm]answer
