[Verse]
Dm A#
Serve or break the patterns that would be
C
Echo positions of the free
A A# C A
Middle child of eternity
Dm F A#
Caught between the branches and the roots
C
Move in any way that suits
A A# C A
The creeping vines of anomie
[Chorus]
A# A Dm
C A# A Dm
I never wanted to believe
C A# A Dm
I never asked if I could stay
C A
Switch the pressures you relieve
Dm
Forge your aggression in the clay
G A Dm F G Dm C
[Verse]
Dm A#
The art that I buried in the earth
C
Sketching parallels to understand
A A# C A
Why I can't share your love
Dm A#
Watchmen and makers in dissent
Dm C
I’m only building what I meant
F A A# C A
To do so many lives ago
[Chorus]
A# A Dm
C A# A Dm
I never wanted to believe
C A# A Dm
I never asked if I could stay
C A
Switch the pressures you relieve
Dm
Forge your aggression in the clay

[Guitars kick back in]
Dm A
[Chorus]
C A# A Dm
I never wanted to believe
C A# A Dm
I never asked if I could stay
C A
Switch the pressures you relieve
A# A Dm
C A# A Dm
I never wanted to believe
C A# A Dm
I never asked if I could stay
C A
Switch the pressures you relieve
F
Forge your aggression in the clay
