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

Switch the pressures you relieve

I never asked if I could stay

Switch the pressures you relieve

Forge your aggression in the clay
