[Verse 1]

Em

Post-sacrifice, I am stemming the blood flow

C

Hammer in hand; desperate to grow

Em

In order to evolve, I made a chopping block a home and I

C

Gouged away at myself until I hit a bone

Em G C

I'm chiseling until there's nothing left

Em G C

Nobody could hurt me the way that I've hurt myself

[Chorus]

Em G C

Well, I'm breaking myself down to dust again

Em G C

Trying my best to make a masterpiece in the end

Em G

Cos there's an angel in the marble that I'm trying to set free

C Em

Chopping and hacking to get to the best parts of me

G C

Destroy to create; who would've known?

Em

There's a sacrifice for growth

[Verse 2]

C Em

Fill me with wax, and then colour me gold

C

Look at my scars. They're beautiful

Em

They held me together when I wanted to let go

C

I'm a kintsugi sculpture and I need it to be known

Em G C

I'm chiseling until there's nothing left

Em G C

Nobody could hurt me the way that I've hurt myself

[Chorus]

Em G C

Well, I'm breaking myself down to dust again

Em G C

Trying my best to make a masterpiece in the end

Em G

Cos there's an angel in the marble that I'm trying to set free

C Em

Chopping and hacking to get to the best parts of me

G C

Destroy to create; who would've known?

C

There's a sacrifice for growth

G

There's a sacrifice for growth

Trust in your hand and

I am a work of art in the progress

A handful of hope and

A thousand laments

That I can't leave unspoken

The noble art of self-destruction guiding my hand

I'll merge the man that I was hoping I could be with the man that I know that I am

The noble art of self-destruction guiding my hand
