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