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

[Chorus]
E D C# F#m
I never wanted to believe
E D C# F#m
I never asked if I could stay
E C#
Switch the pressures you relieve
D C# F#m
E D C# F#m
I never wanted to believe
E D C# F#m
I never asked if I could stay
E C#
Switch the pressures you relieve
A
Forge your aggression in the clay
