[Verse 1]
Em Em(maj7) G Gm
I want to be ignorant to the frailty of my life

Days are grains of sand in a disciple's hand

Looking out my window

Through the grey and lifeless sky

I know what I am

G#m7 C#m7 F#m9
But I'm terrified of the silence that kept me
Emaj7
Before I was alive
F#m/A F#dim/A Emaj7
And passing days feel shorter with every moment I leave behind
F#m/A F#dim/A Emaj7
And dawn is breaking now on the minds still left to decide

I want to see the rain in fear through primal eyes

Em Em(maj7) G Gm
I want to be innocent of hypocrisy and lies
G6 Am7b5 Em
But in these surroundings the strongest survive

I know what I am

Before I was alive
F#m/A F#dim/A Emaj7
And passing days feel shorter with every moment I leave behind
F#m/A F#dim/A Emaj7
And dawn is breaking now on the minds still left to decide
G#m7 F#m7 E
I want to feel the pain of zeal behind your cries

It seems an easy way to escape from the silence
[Interlude]
| Em | Em | A7/C# | C(b5) | (2x)
[Bridge]
Em A#dim/C# Am
And if I look back now with regret
Em
I know I've lost something I'll never find again
C Am
And every day I'm getting older
G Gm G Gm
And the world slips further away
Em A#dim/C#
And every step is only closer
To the one you lost
Am
Behind the road
Cm Gm D
Beyond our human wants and gains
Gm D
To both your faith and my disdain
Gm D
Your trembling lips betray your aim
Gm D
And you know that when it ends
Em
We end the same

[Bridge]
C Am
And every day I'm getting older
G Gm G Gm
And in our world I will decay
Em F#/C#
With every step a little closer
To my final breath
Am
Beyond regret
Cm G B
Past hope and love and human pain
Emaj7
We end the same
[Chorus]
F#m/A F#dim/A Emaj7
And passing days feel shorter with every moment I leave behind
F#m/A F#dim/A Emaj7
And dawn is breaking now on the minds still left to decide
