Intro: Bm Em Bm A Em Bm G
Bm Em A
I hear the static drawing nearer, there's no way out.
G Em
I breathe the ice and let the fire die.
Bm
They keep on feeding me the chemicals I need to breathe,
A G Bm G
But how can something so important not belong to me?
I can't pretend like I'm the one who's gonna change this
But all I know is that our time is running out.
Bm
I get so tired lighting fires when I know we still have so much further left we could go.
Bm A
So how much longer must I wait to fill this emptiness?
Em G
I've made mistakes and had my dreams slip through the cracks.
Bm A
I've seen such hate surround me inside of this dark abyss,
Em G Bm
But all this pain just makes me certain that there's love for me to find on brighter paths.
Bm Em
And out of the dust I see the light creep in and I know it won't be long.
G
But I'm still terrified 'cause at least in the dark
Em Bm
No one else can see who you really are.
So bring me, raise up your guns
Em D
And blame me for all of your wrongs.
It seems hate is all I have left,

Yeah, it's all I have left,
It's the only thing that's left in me.

So when you feel like you're falling under,

holding on to the things you thought you loved.
D G
Will you let all of the things you've run from chew you up and spit you out?
