Intro: Gm   (4x) 


Verse 1:
 
Gm                            D 
  The shutter opens but never closes 
     Eb               D 
I am lost way laid in light trails 
Gm                    D 
  Endless moments overlaid  
            Eb 
and burned across 
            D 
A melee of scattered braille 

 
Bb 
  This image is a night  
            Cm 
terror transforming 
F# 
  Without the hope of morning 
Bb 
  My nemesis I feel it coming  
Cm    F# 
for me  and it means to destroy me 


Verse 2:
 
Gm                      F  
Why does this keep happening? 
Gm Bb Cm Gm 
I        try to close my eyes  
    F Gm   Bb Cm Eb  
but I can't      blink 
        Cm 
And the world keeps moving  
Eb           Cm 
on black and white blur into one 


Interlude: Gm  D Eb  D (2x) 


Bridge:
 
Gm                 D 
  Hieroglyphic indecipherable 
 Cm                  D 
opaque the meaning escapes me 
Gm 
  Dry and lidless are my eyes 
  D     Eb          D 
Asleep awake reading the slurred debris 


(Repeat Chorus)

Gm                      F  
Why does this keep happening? 
Gm Bb Cm Gm 
I        try to close my eyes  
    F Gm   Bb Cm Eb  
but I can't      blink 
        Cm 
And the world keeps moving  
Eb           Cm 
on black and white blur into 
Gm                      F  
Why does this keep happening? 
Gm Bb Cm Gm 
I        try to close my eyes  
    F Gm   Bb Cm Eb  
but I can't      blink 
        Cm 
And the world keeps moving  
Eb           Cm 
on black and white blur into 


Gm   F Gm Bb Cm  (2x)
