Intro
E A G#m F#m
[Verse 1]
F#m E
Sing for me, cause you don't have a chance.
C#m E
All your little words and war stories advance.
C#m E
Sell your skin, elements on trial,
A C#m
Deliver your unconscious state of mind.
G#m F#m
All my silent superstitions wrap around you like the coast.
E A
If I'm wide awake then why do I feel your ghost?
[Chorus]
E A
Oh the bitter sea of Brooklyn left me bare,
G#m F#m
Still your heart it never conquered me like that.
E A
And the more my body tells me I'm entranced,
G#m F#m
The deeper in your quicksand I'll descend.
[Verse 2]
C#m E
Talk to me, only with your eyes.
A C#m
Every bottled up decision intertwined.
C#m E
Colors change faster than you can.
A C#m
Still you bother to dilute the task at hand.
G#m F#m
All my silent superstitions wrap around you like the coast.
E A
If I'm wide awake then why do I feel your ghost?
[Chorus]
E A
Oh the bitter sea of Brooklyn left me bare,
G#m F#m
Still your heart it never conquered me like that.
E A
And the more my body tells me I'm entranced,
G#m F#m
The deeper in your quicksand I'll descend.
C#m E
All my enemies are thoughts I never left,
A E
And the sickness that I've felt is only surface.
G#m E
All the armor that I buried in my breath
A G#m F#m E
I’ve spent it all.
A G#m F#m
I’ve spent it all.
E A G#m F#m
[Chorus]
E A
Oh the bitter sea of Brooklyn left me bare,
G#m F#m
Still your heart it never conquered me like that.
E A
And the more my body tells me I'm entranced,
G#m F#m E
The deeper in your quicksand I'll descend.
