verse 1
Gm
Who holds the silver string
Gm
Lost me to staggered motion
D# F
When you run away
Gm
Whoever changes shape
Gm
Slowing oscillation
D# F
I see you there
Gm
Alternate the day (and let go)
F
Scream the last charade and let it be (and safeguard)
C D# F
The fragment that anchors it all (into the wall)
Gm
Separate the wave (let it go)
F
Drown inside the shade and let it go (and safeguard)
C D# F
The vision that anchors it all (into the wall)

And I'm forgetting everything you said
Gm
For you to bounce right back

Pick up right where you left off

When you run away

Whoever took my place

Slowing oscillation

I see you there
(And how it seemed I should be reborn)

Alternate the day (and let go)

Scream the last charade and let it be (and safeguard)

The fragment that anchors it all (into the wall)
