Em                  Em/G 
Sounds of imbalance 
Am                    G    Am 
Sleeps through the never 
Em                          Em/G 
The artificial lightsource 
Am                  G    Am 
Is creeping with flies 

C#m 
And this time I break 
F#m 
I will never make 
          C#m 
Another day 
   F#m 
Defiant to what's delivered 

Em               C 
I will find a way 
    G Em  F Em 
To sever myself 
Em             C 
Exit all today 
G    Em    F    Em 
You can't see this 
Em              C 
Did you ever say 
G   Em   F Em 
I break sever 
Em               C 
I will find a way 
G     Em   F        Em 
Visit me when I'm there 

Em                     Em/G 
The weakness of hope 
Am                    G        Am 
Is the strength of decline 
Em                           Em/G 
Remember what's past ways 
Am               G         Am 
And what I've become 

Em                     Em/G 
The joy of not being 
Am           G       Am 
Something I need 
Em                Em/G 
I'm only weather 
Am            G     Am 
But only to me
