Intro:
Verse 1:
He bends and he breaks
If he gives they will take away
His passion his pain his grace
He exhales A thousand
black flowers explode
Into butterflies as they're away
Chorus:
Rip them out take them
Burn to coals as they crush
And leave nothing that
Resembles a soul of a man
See him numb, see him crushed
See him numb, see him crushed
(Repeat)
Verse 3:
Just a fire inside one too many times
He's burning over and out as he fails
Up against the raging tides
No more sides
Everything you ever wanted to see
I see it in his eyes
One more time one more time
Climb down to test the waters
My hands feel like they're
rusting away yeah yeah
So I'll pace around like a
lamb before the slaughter
I'll stay here as
long as you let me
Decisions then
made obvious
So I will return to where
I started, I'll stay there
F Ab(hold)
Unfinished I'll wither away
(Repeat Chorus)
Outro: C--Em--Am--G#--C(hold)
