DI'll bury my Gdowncast hours in transparent ink,
Dtie myself to the Gmast and wait here for the ship to sink
Emthough I know I've set Gsail on a Awishing Gwell
Dthe daylight Gis dimming out slowly with every breath I take
Dgasps of air Gbecome roaring rivers keeping me awake
Emit gives me no Bmtime to Athink things Gthrough
EmI know words alBmways comAe before you Gdo
Chorus (essentially same as intro)
A Bm (5-3-2-0-2-3..)
but I can't find no poetry left in these lines
A Bm (5-3-2-0-2-3..)
I've been trying too hard, too long, too many times

Dis this what Ga biochemist would call happiness?
Dis it part ofG some unmade promise I thought I could forget?
Emis it time that I Bmlet some Aair come Emthrough?
Emfor now strangelinBmg love isA all I canEm do
Chorus:
A Bm (5-3-2-0-2-3..)
yeah, I know you have mountains of poems in mind
A Bm (5-3-2-0-2-3..)
all explaining how all wounds will heal given time
Bmbut these days are no longer my time to Espill
and I Gknow that by Awaiting, I'll make them stand Estill
Bridge: (listen to song)

DI kept it as Gclose as I could through those winter nights
Dbut the ropesG only tighten round me as I try to fight
Emthere's no worth throwing Bmstone in a Awishing Emwell
Emnow I'm out of black ink aBmnd true talAes to teEmll
Chorus:
A Bm (5-3-2-0-2-3..)
and I know it's all poetry, know they're just lies
A Bm (5-3-2-0-2-3..)
but I'll still scavenge on what I find inbetween those lines
BmI'll pretend there was happiness, fake tEo have felt pain
just tGo feel there'As a reason to read it again E
