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

F# slice of life a piece of mind

Laid on a plate of my own kind

I'll take a key from the gravy

Breathing home, hoping for the day
G#m C# F# B
The radio and television's thrown the rest away
G#m C# F# B
Oh dear me, look who's come around

Now all I have to do is hide my body in the ground
E E E
It's all I have to do
[Outro]
A Em D
When they who to the sea go down
F#m E F#m E
And in the waters ply their toil
A A# F G A
Are lifted on the surges crown
G# F# G# E
And plunged where seething eddies boil
