[Verse 1]
Em
It's a wave 2 miles high
Em
Crushing bones while taking lives
D
It's a freeze you can`t escape

It's the haunting memories
C
Of a grander history
C
maybe we weren't meant to see
Bm
Clues below the dirt
Bm
in secretive buildings
 
[Verse 2]

It's a ball and a chain
Em
It's a little company
D
It's a suit in a cage
D
With a touch of apathy
C
It's a shiny brand new way
C
To lose your reality
Bm
It's a giant fault-Line
Bm
In commonality
 
[Chorus]

I'm beside
Em
A mirror of me

That looks the same
G Am
With crooked teeth

A different line

Of time it seems

Who scraped through the dirt to

Survive a calamity

It's a wash

A strip of me

A different name

A different scene

With fangs I've never worn before
B
The expression has changed to one of insanity
 
[Verse 3]
Em
It's the calm, far beneath
Em
Turbulence of rapid seas
D
Taking breaks, to pause and breathe
D
When everyone is frantically
C
Moving on, changing pace
C
Never staying in one place,
Bm
For very long
Bm
You don't have to run this race
 
[Verse 4]
Em
It's ok to stand aside,
Em
let the world pass you by
D
Things can change on a dime,
D
you might not prepare in time

For the speed of consequence
C Bm
to plow into your radiant guise

I'm beside

A mirror of me

I'm beside

A mirror of me

An expression of rage

Channeling an animal
