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