You were hungry for life

Left me so hollow

To give you all of me

For what I'll never know

Well I'll rest my eyes
Em G
And I'll let the earth breathe
Cmaj7
And I'll bide my time
Em G
I'll let the earth breathe
Em G
We want the smoke from our flames
Dsus4
It's our saving grace

Our lasting passion
Em G
And with a knife in our soul
Dsus4
We realize
Asus4
We will not feel it

Well I'll rest my eyes
Em G
And I'll let the earth breathe

And I'll bide my time

I'll let the earth breathe
