[Verse 1]
Maybe [Am]I don't recall just how
I found my way at all
But I [Em]re member dreams
like bark peeled [G]off by [D]fire
[C]I recall the sun [Em]as it [D]melted in the [E]light
And the [C]sense that
the times were [Am]turning dire
[A]And my brain just ain't the same since
the [Am]poison in my veins
Fought [Em]off the foreign cells
that [D]sent me fading
I'm [E]very much alive,
but I've lost [D]sight of the mind
[Am]That raised the [C]hell and blurred the line that
[Am]kept me waiting[A][Am][D]
[C][G][D][Am][D]
[C][G][D]
How [Em]does one write [D]about who [Am]one used
to be before the sterilizing [Em]waves of [G]the
[D]Redeemer?
[E]Particularly [Bm]when it's [D]so hard to find a pen
[E]that'll [C]write it in the long hand of [A]a healer.
And as I try to age my words get
[Am]dense and they get plain
And I forget [Em]to wonder
where I had been going
[D]Perhaps the[E] simplest way through
Is to [D]learn what not to do
An[C]d the years will take away [Am]the need
[A]for knowing[Am][D]
[C][G][D][Am]
[D][C][G][D]
You [Am]spend your body while it's there
Change the ribbons in your hair
Make sure you pledge to your love
in the field of honor
Try [E]to seize night by the throat
Keep your [D]hands inside your coat
Until you've stumbled [C]on a well
[Am]an d need the wa[A] ter
You know [Am]the times
are staying the same
Don't take the weather for a change
It's a simulated progress
that we're after
Just look [E]at all the circ[Bm]ling crows
And try not to hold your [D]nose
Until the [C]fire finally en[Am]gulfs the [A]rafters[Am]
[D][C][G]
[D][Am][D][C]
[G][D]
