Bm Am G Em D E7


Bm        Am         G        Em
Wonʼt you lend your lungs to me?
Em    G   Em
Mine are collapsing
Em       Am         G       Em
Plant my feet and bitterly breathe
Em       G         Em
up the time thatʼs passing.
D           E7                   D
Breath Iʼll take and breath Iʼll give
D            E7            D
pray the day ainʼt poison
Bm      Am         G       Em
stand among the ones that live
Em        G     Em
in lonely indecision.

Fingers walk the darkness down
mind is on the midnight
gather up the gold youʼve found
you fool, itʼs only moonlight.
If you try to take it home
your hands will turn to butter
You better leave this dream alone
try to find another.

Salvation sat and crossed herself
called the devil partner
wisdom burned upon a shelf
whoʼll kill the raging cancer
Seal the river at its mouth
take the water prisoner
fill the sky with screams and cries
bathe in fiery answers

Jesus was an only son
and love his only concept
strangers cry in foreign tongues
and dirty up the doorstep
and I for one, and you for two
aiʼnt got the time for outside
just keep your injured looks to you
weʼll tell the world we tried
