[Verse]
A C#
I find I understand the rules but cannot find the reasons
A C#
Do they include everything and they change for every season
It's only a matter of...
A C#
Time is of the essence, shall I put up some resistance?
A C#
Cursed with the awareness of my own existance
It's only a matter of...
[Chorus]
E C
Time tends to pass by quicker than the nail (Yes)
F# C#
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]
D#m B D#
C# slice of life a piece of mind
C# F#
Laid on a plate of my own kind
D E
I'll take a key from the gravy
F# D#m B D#m C# F# D E F# D#m
And unlock the cage that holds the ravens in
C# C# C# C# A# A A G#

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