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

[Chorus]
B A G# C#m
I never wanted to believe

I never asked if I could stay
B G#
Switch the pressures you relieve

I never wanted to believe
B A G# C#m
I never asked if I could stay

Switch the pressures you relieve

Forge your aggression in the clay
