[Verse 1]

Am                 G
Beaten me to death, all I am now is bones
F                   G
I’ll try to build a skeleton as white as snow
Am             G
Sediment will crush me, plantation will grow
F             G
Be the archeologist, find a fossil in stone

Am                    G
Staring at the starry ceiling, conversations with trees
F                G
Soon the dark is closing and brings me to my knees
Am               G
All the world is sleeping but I am still awake
F                G                             Am
I try to tell myself that all this wasn’t a mistake


[Chorus]

Am      G
I’ll try see the light
F           G
I’ll try to breathe in in time
Am      G
I’ll try hold me ground
F       G
Without falling back down


[Verse 2]

Am               G
Flames inside me burning, burning me up
F                   G
I’m waiting for the water but you never turn the cup
Am                 G
I’m trying hard to fight it, the flames lick my skin
F                   G
I’m running for the water but the fire pulls me in


[Chorus]

Am      G
I’ll try see the light
F           G
I’ll try to breathe in in time
Am      G
I’ll try hold me ground
F      G
Without falling back down


[Outro]

Am           G
Beaten me to death all I am now is bones
F                   G
I’ll try to build a skeleton as white as snow
Am            G
Sediment will crush me, plantation will grow
F             G
Be the archeologist, find a fossil in stone
