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