[Intro]
B5 G5 E5 F#5*
B5 G5 E5 F#5*
[Verse 1]
B5 G5 E5 F#5*
I wanted to be sure
B5 G5 C#5 E5
Of horizons in my window, big and clear
B5 G5 E5 F#5*
And the sun still making singing in my ear
B5 G5 C#5 E5
But I forgot the wall is always there
[Chorus]
G5 E5
And now I sit in idle blankness
B5 A5
And a stillness I can't take
G5 E5 B5 A5
So I begin to think in figures instead of beauty that we've made
G5 E5 B5 A5
And beauty's gone
[Verse 2]
B5 G5 E5 F#5*
A liar spit in my ear
B5 G5 C#5 E5
And it turned me into nothing, just worms and fear
B5 G5 E5 F#5*
The lie became my body, every pore
B5 G5 C#5 E5
As puddles form beneath me, acid sore
[Chorus]
G5 E5
And where is joy among these pieces
B5 A5
That we scream into the space?
G5 E5
Where is my gentle reason
B5 A5
And the light within my cave?
G5
Where have you been?
E5
(I want) to know the quiet
B5 A5
Of its voice before the screams
G5 E5
Just sitting in the silence
B5 A5 A5 A5
And waiting, waiting
B5
[Bridge]
N.C.
Where is my light?
N.C.
Not blue, but green and quiet, in my mind?
[Outro]
B5 G5 E5 F#5*
B5 G5 C#5 E5
B5 G5 E5
