C# F
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...

Time tends to pass by quicker than the nail (Yes)
A# F
That boxes me together forever it forms the seal (Yes)

Are lifted on the surges crown
G F G D#
And plunged where seething eddies boil
