Intro
D#m C#
Verse 1:
D#m
This is our true alarm. This is reality.
C#
We will do what we can.
D#m
We are just figurines with a theology
C#
that we don’t understand.
Pre-Chorus:
A#m
We can’t forget the
F#
beginning, when He
G#
set our broken wings.
Chorus:
A#m
God, how much does it
F#
take for us to be
C#
loved? For us to be
G#
saved? We all are
A#m
birds stuck inside our
F#
cage, covered up with
C#
praise. And behind our
G#
saints we hide our
A#m
face. Oh, the numbers
F#
come. Yeah, they’re dialing
C#
in. We can’t
D#m (?)
help but to comp-
G#
are ourselves again.
Break:
D#m C#
Verse 2:
D#m
I can’t believe in this—this blue-lipped, lifeless kiss.
C#
And we can’t see past our thrones.
D#m
We fight for life within, but our walls are wearing thin.
C#
Oh God, where have we gone?
Pre-Chorus:
A#m
When I’m just one fighting in-
F#
difference, does it
G#m
matter what I say?
Chorus:
A#m
God, how much does it
F#
take for us to be
C#
loved? For us to be
G#
saved? We all are
A#m
birds stuck inside our
F#
cage, covered up with
C#
praise. And behind our
G#
saints we hide our
A#m
face. Oh, the numbers
F#
come. Yeah, they’re dialing
C#
in. We can’t
D#m (?)
help but to comp-
G#
are ourselves again.

D#m
It’s not that there were ever bad
C#
intentions— it’s
D#m
more that we forgot where to call
C#
home. From im-
D#m
portant things that we don’t know to
C#
mention, it’s the
D#m
uniform that we put on—the
