Intro: C#m E (4x)
verse 1
C#m E
The lights in town, so bright and yet so colorful
C#m B A
The chill I feel when ether injects
C#m E
It's 2 AM, so tired is my sleepless soul
C#m B A
All things I see they swiftly change
C#m E
It's like a lighter that slowly would die
C#m B A
A scorching pain that aches in your stomach and now you wonder
C#m F#m
If everything was a lie
C#m B A
Oh don't you think it would have been awfully nice?
C#m E B A
I have a dream where I take you by your hammering neck
C#m E A
So filled with light, that mid afternoon as I am feeling how your
C#m E B A
Throat suddenly just jumps and then disconnects
C#m E A
I'd watch it all, yet knowing I almost could cry
[Refrão]C#m A
Say, this cauldron made to only fuse
Ab E
I think I want to see how it's used
C#m A7
By diving deep inside, it's so wonderful, beautiful
Ab
I'm swimming in a pure blue light
C#m A
Say, this cauldron made to only fuse
Ab E
I think by diving in I would
C#m A7
Just for a single time, I'd be forgiven for everything
Ab
I might have done completely wrong

verse 2
C#m E
Towards the side upon a lonely balcony
C#m B A
I hear the sound of going upstairs
C#m E
The sky that has so slowly shrouded finally
C#m B A
Is dropping upon the window squares
C#m E
I see the twilight is scattering light
C#m B A
The burning sun is casting a ruby-red cry
C#m F#m
As if I'm gradually melting tonight
C#m B A
I think the words I'm saying so slowly just die
C#m E B A
I have a dream where I take you by your hammering neck
C#m E A
The curtains sway, that mid afternoon just as the wind is passing
C#m E B A
By dried out lips that I can never connect
C#m E A
The words just spill and sway just like a bubble in bliss
[Refrão]C#m A
Say, this cauldron made to only fuse
Ab E
I think I want to see how it's used
C#m A7
By diving deep inside, all the memories melt away
Ab
And disappear in pure white light
C#m A
Say, this cauldron made to only fuse
Ab E
I think by diving in I would
C#m A7
Just like the times back then, I would be sleeping so peacefully
Ab
A feeling that will never end
Interlude

Bridge
G
The second hand of time and in my
F#m
TV stands someone called a host
G
They're there but you can't see
F#m
Invisible to some degree
F#m
As they are laughing out you hear it echo and shout
G A Bm
Allegro Agitate
G C D
It's ringing in my ears and won't ever go away
G A Bm
Allegro Agitate
G C D
It's ringing in my ears and won't ever go away
verse 3
C#m E B A
Then I was dreaming that people here would just disappear
C#m E A C#m
During the night, the size of my room and all the silence filled inside
E B A
Took force and then clogged up my chest
C#m E A
I can't believe, I was hardly even able to breath
N.C.
Yaa~
[Refrão]C#m A
Say, this cauldron made to only fuse
Ab E
I think by diving in I could
C#m A7
For all eternity, I would be able to fall asleep
Ab
And then I'd sleep eternally
C#m A
When the morning comes I will be gone
Ab E C#m
And I will have a much better feeling than I am feeling now
A7 Ab
And all the gears of what is to come, will make this world a better place
C#m E B
It will surely be
A C#m E B A
A much better place
