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

[Bridge I]
Cm G# C
A# slice of life a piece of mind
A# D#
Laid on a plate of my own kind
B C#
I'll take a key from the gravy
D# Cm G# Cm A# D# B C# D# Cm
And unlock the cage that holds the ravens in

What's it like flying high?
G F# A# B A
I've a cone for a beak, but the tar makes me cry

That hol ds me together, tarred and feathered
[Bridge II]
Cm F A# D#
Breathing home, hoping for the day
Cm F A# D#
The radio and television's thrown the rest away
Cm F A# D#
Oh dear me, look who's come around
Cm F A# G# G#
Now all I have to do is hide my body in the ground
G# G# G#
It's all I have to do
[Outro]
C# G#m F#
When they who to the sea go down
A#m G# A#m G#
And in the waters ply their toil
C# D A B C#
Are lifted on the surges crown
C A# C G#
And plunged where seething eddies boil
