verse 1
C#m A C#m A
I leave you tomorrow, will you hunt my shadow
C#m A B A
You treat me like horror. I'm not feeding your violence, force you with the silence
C#m A C#m A
I'm leaving the harbor, tear drops to swallow
C#m A B A
We stay on the water till your sonic reaches out for an aim
[Refrão] Em D
And now we'll cry out for the ocean
Em D
Cause when the ships arrive again I hope for a mayday
C#m A C#m A
They call our names - We will fade away
C#m A B A
Will they be ashamed - When we fade away

So who do you follow

Humans of sorrow

Come down into the hollow

Tearing me up in vain

C#m A B A

We fly like the wind

And dive into the ground

Till the night brings us out
