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