[Verse]
Am G D F
The rain auditions at my window
Am G D F
Its symphony echoes in my womb
Am G D F
My gaze scans the walls of this apartment
Am G D. F Am
To rectify the confines of my tomb-ouuuh
F Am
F Em
I'm the cyclops in the tenement, I'm the soul without the cause
F Em
Crying 'midst my rubber plants, ignoring beckoning doors
F Gm
Clippings from ancient newspapers lie scattered cross the floor
F Em
Stained by the wine from a shattered glass, Meaningless words, yellowed by time
F Gm
Faded photos exposing pain, Celluloid leeches bleeding my mind
F Em
Christ, you've finished playing hangman, you've cast the fateful dice
F Gm
Advise, advise, advise me, This shroud shall not suffice
Am G D F Am G D F
And thus begins the web
Am G D F
Attempting to discard these clinging memories
Am G D F
I only serve to wallow in our past
Am G D F
I fabricate the weave with my excuses
Am G D F
Its strands I hope and pray shall last
Am G D F Am G D F
Oh, please do last
Am G D F Am G D F Am
Oh, please do last
F Gm
F Em
The flytrap needs the insect, ivy caresses the wall
F Gm
Needles make love to the junkies, the sirens seduce with their call
F Em
Confidence has deserted me, with you it has forsaken me
F Em
Confused and rejected, despised and alone, I kiss isolation on its fevered brow
F Em
Security clutching me, obscurity threatening me
F Em
Christ, your reasons were so obvious as my friends have qualified
F Em
I only laughed away your tears, but even jesters cry
Am G D F Am G D F
But even jesters cry
Am G D F
I realise I hold the key to freedom
Am G D F
Oh, I cannot let my life be ruled by threads
Am G D F
The time has come to make decisions
Am G D F
The changes have to be made

The changes have to be made

Now I leave you, the past does have its say

You're all but forgotten, a mote in my heart

Decisions have been made

They've been made, they've been made
D E D E X4 (solo 2)
E E E D E
Decisions have been made

The flaming shroud

The flaming shroud

Thus ends the web, the web, the web.

The web.
