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