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

[Chorus]
C# Cb A# D#m
I never wanted to believe
C# Cb A# D#m
I never asked if I could stay
C# A#
Switch the pressures you relieve

I never wanted to believe

I never asked if I could stay

Switch the pressures you relieve

Forge your aggression in the clay
