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

[Bridge I]
Em C E
D slice of life a piece of mind
D G
Laid on a plate of my own kind
D# F
I'll take a key from the gravy

And unlock the cage that holds the ravens in

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

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