Verse
F#m E
On a canvas we stained with blood and painted with our sins
Bm D
There's a candle melting and it's burning at both ends
F#m E
We'll take and take till it caves and drowns us in the wax it drips
Bm D
Like a moth to the flame, you never should've fucking lit
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m
You can give sight to the blind
E
But you can't force them to see
Bm
You could take us back in time
D
But it wouldn't change a thing
[Chorus]
F#m E
If God came down from His kingdom, He came down from His home
Bm D
And we asked Him if He'd take us back, He would surely tell us no
F#m E
If God came down from His kingdom, He came down from his throne
Bm D
And we asked Him if He'd take us back, He would tell us we can't go
[Verse 2]
F#m E
To a rat in a maze, the end is where the start begins
Bm D
But if we made it out, I know that we would do it all again
F#m E
We live and die in vain like treasure on a sinking ship
Bm D
All in the name of a God we'd just abandon and forget
[Chorus]
F#m E
If God came down from His kingdom, He came down from His home
Bm D
And we asked Him if He'd take us back, He would surely tell us no
F#m E
If God came down from His kingdom, He came down from his throne
Bm D
And we asked Him if He'd take us back, He would tell us we can't go
[Bridge]
F#m
We're dying every day
E
Tell me, is it all in vain?
Bm
Is it worth the suffering?
D F#m E D Bm
Is it worth the price we paid?
F#m E
Is it worth it?
Bm D
Yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m
You can give sight to the blind
E
But you can't force them to see
Bm
You could take us back in time
D
But it wouldn't change a thing
[Chorus]
F#m E
If God came down from His kingdom, He came down from His home
Bm D
And we asked Him if He'd take us back, He would surely tell us no
F#m E
If God came down from His kingdom, He came down from his throne
Bm D
And we asked Him if He'd take us back, He would tell us we can't go
[Refrain]
F#m E
Blinded by a fear of feeling, these are the kings we chose
Bm D
Lost and looking for the meaning, I've been searching high and low
F#m E
When we fade into nothing, when we go up in the smoke
Bm D
We'll beg God for a mercy that He knows we'd never show
[Outro]
F#m
You can give sight to the blind
E
But you can't force them to see
Bm
You could take us back in time
D
But it wouldn't change a fucking thing
