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