F7 G# D#
You were called like a curtain, split like a second,
F# F7
broken like a sword stuck in a rock
G# D#
forged for a hero, birthed forth for a heart
F# F7
much purer than his/mine/ours.
F7 G# D#
It’s uncertain when the tables turned,
F# F7
but when all of your brothers have given their lives
G# D#
for the strife you earned, you will get burned
F# F
and it wont get better when put on ice.
F G#
And I wasn’t going anywhere fast,
F G#
and my sister said she’d seen the end of my path.

The direction that I fly,
E F
straight through the eye of our aftermath.
F7 G# D# F#
F7 G# D#
And you have to ignore it, don’t think about before,
F# F7
you’ve got enough fight inside to fill five world wars.

and last thing we need is another broken clock.
G#
So forget about your ghost limbs and
D# F# F7
all those things that scared you most as a child of 12.
G# D#
You see I’m 13 now, and if I die for the thousandth time,
F# F7
I’m unafraid, for I outnumber hell.
F7 G#
And I wasn’t going anywhere good, so I
F7 G#
straightened my glasses and I did what I could
D#
What I had to but damn it’s hard
E F7
not to look back at the time.
F7 G#
But I wasn’t going anywhere fast, so I
F7 G#
said goodbye to walking my own path.
D#
The direction that I fly,
E C# D#
straight through the eye of our aftermath.
Fm C# D#
What makes us who we are, is it our bones?
Fm C# D#
wrapped in all our scars, they’re ours alone
Fm C# D#
they outweigh tails and talons, feathers, foam
Fm
unless they’re not, unless they don’t.
F7 G# D# F#
F7 G# D#
You were called like a curtain, split like a second,
F# F7
broken like a sword stuck in a rock
