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