Who holds the silver string
Gm
Lost me to staggered motion

When you run away

Whoever changes shape

I see you there

Alternate the day (and let go)
F
Scream the last charade and let it be (and safeguard)

The fragment that anchors it all (into the wall)

Separate the wave (let it go)

Drown inside the shade and let it go (and safeguard)

The vision that anchors it all (into the wall)

And I'm forgetting everything you said

For you to bounce right back

I see you there
(And how it seemed I should be reborn)
