Intro: C Em Am Fm
C Em
He bends and he breaks
Am
If you kiss it will take away
Fm C
His passion, his pain, his grace
C Em
He exhales
Am
A thousand black flowers explode
Fm
Into butterflies as they're away
Chorus:
C
Rip them out, take them
Burn to coals as they crush him
Em
Leave nothing that
Am
Resembles a soul of a man
(See him numb, see him crushed)
Fm
See him numb, see him crushed
C
Rip them out, take them
Burn to coals as they crush him
Em
Leave nothing that
Am
Resembles a soul of a man
(Leave him numb, leave him crushed)
Fm
Leave him numb, leave him crushed
C Em
Just a fire inside one too many times
Am
He's burning over and out as he fails
Fm C
Up against the raging tides
No more fights
Em
Everything you ever wanted to see
Am
I see it in his eyes
Fm
One more time, one more time
F
Climb down to test the waters
Fm C Em
My hands feel like they're rusting away, yeah
F Fm
So I'll pace around like a lamb before the slaughter
C Em
I'll stay here, as long as you let me
F
Decisions, then, made obvious,
Fm C Em
So I will return to where I started, I'll stay there
F Fm
Unfinished I'll wither away
Chorus
