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

C#m
It’s not that there were ever bad
B
intentions— it’s
C#m
more that we forgot where to call
B
home. From im-

mention, it’s the
