D# G
I find I understand the rules but cannot find the reasons

Do they include everything and they change for every season
It's only a matter of...

Cursed with the awareness of my own existance
It's only a matter of...

That boxes me together forever it forms the seal (Yes)

Breathing home, hoping for the day

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