Intro

C – – Am – – G – – F – – x2

Verse 1

Am – – F – – x3
Haven't we suffered enough? It's the pain and torture of apocalyptic rising no more trust
For the flickering ambition that we all believe we matter just as much
Where were you when the sun was setting, when my pockets were empty and the doors slammed shut

Am – – F G
Now I'm fighting and hoping and praying that this might be the day that I just dont wake up

Pre-Chorus 1

C – – Am – – G – – F G x2

Chorus 1

C – – Am – – G – – F G x2
Do we owe each other peace, Casket for eternal sleep, Respite from the hate and fear, Will it ever become clear
Or do we run and hide, from humanity despised, leave it all to fucking rot, because all our hope is lost

Break 1

Am – – F – – x2

Verse 2

Am – – F – – x3
gasping for breath as we're chained to a sinking ship, either drowning or burning we know this is the last trip
there's nothing to say there's nothing to do, If knowlege is power we call off the truce

Am – – F G
unlearn the patterns that shackle the mind, break this prison of self and leave the ship behind

Break 2

C – – Am – – G – – F G x2
Am – – F – – x3
Am – – F G

Bridge

Am – – F – – x7
It's as if their writing out my lines, it's a rerun of a memory that I bought just to pass the time
now I stay in my room and watch the clock unwind
2> A distant revelation that must have come from another life, what am I who is this (the forsaken catalyst)
we don't deserve to live like this (you will take what you get)
the blind leading the blind (nowhere to hide)

Am – – F G
unmask the face of humankind and you may not like what you find

Pre-Chorus 2

C – – Am – – G – – F G x2

Chorus 2

C – – Am – – G – – F G x2
and when I rest my head, I just wish I was dead, But I'm not...
So I'll find a way that I can be okay, Cause we can all weather the storm or we can just try to save face (checkmate)

Ending

C – – Am – – G – – F G x2
One foot in the door, one in the grave, In the end I hope we have something to save
