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