Verse
C# F#
Two hands hold my Father's cup
C# F#
One says "drink," the other's stuck
A#m G# C# F#
On everything I've tried to push away, push away
C# F#
When the Devil whispered in my ear
C# F#
That I could live a thousand years
A#m G# C# F#
If I stay on the straight and narrow way
[Refrão] A#m F#
It's in these bones
C# F#
But some people never see
C# F#
They won't wake up from the dream
C#
And go it alone
A#m F#
Unless we grow
C# F#
Transform in other's eyes
C# F#
Cascading butterflies
C# F# C# F#
Into the unknown, into the unknown
Bridge
A#m F# C#
And we think if we let this one brick fall
A#m F# C#
We'll lose the whole damn wall
A#m F# C#
And we think if we let this one brick fall
A#m F# C#
We'll lose the whole damn wall
