[Verse]
G B
I find I understand the rules but cannot find the reasons
G B
Do they include everything and they change for every season
It's only a matter of...
G B
Time is of the essence, shall I put up some resistance?
G B
Cursed with the awareness of my own existance
It's only a matter of...
[Chorus]
D A#
Time tends to pass by quicker than the nail (Yes)
E B
That boxes me together forever it forms the seal (Yes)
G C D# A# D# A# D# A# D# A#
Is the knowledge of my own existance real?

Breathing home, hoping for the day

It's all I have to do

When they who to the sea go down
Bm A Bm A
And in the waters ply their toil
D D# A# C D
Are lifted on the surges crown
C# B C# A
And plunged where seething eddies boil
