Serve or break the patterns that would be

Middle child of eternity
Bm D G
Caught between the branches and the roots

The creeping vines of anomie
[Chorus]

Switch the pressures you relieve
Bm
Forge your aggression in the clay
E F# Bm D E Bm A

Bm G
The art that I buried in the earth
A
Sketching parallels to understand
F# G A F#
Why I can't share your love

Watchmen and makers in dissent

I’m only building what I meant
D F# G A F#
To do so many lives ago
[Chorus]

A G F# Bm
I never wanted to believe
A G F# Bm
I never asked if I could stay

Switch the pressures you relieve

Forge your aggression in the clay
