Ego Loss On Grand River Avenue

E

[Verse 1]

E                        A
we are, we are jesus and we are satan
                           E
we gave them bodies and we gave them faces
                           A
we are their potter, still making changes

E                       A
we are 10,000 dead in a war that was won
                           E
we are the father, spirit, and the smoking gun
                            A
we are the future that will repeat what we've done

E                          A
we are a mother with a bag over her head
                      E
and the father in the cold with a drink in his hands
                      A
we got a divorce that never found it's end

E                  A
we are a pill that fell down a throat
                      E
a silent specter that hides in old homes
                          A
we are the closet monster waiting till the child's alone

E                              A
we are, we are the wind and we are the sand
                             E
we shift and change until we become with the land
                    A
we are brush in the painter's hand

E                               A
we are comic book heroes oh the strong the brave
                      E
lost in a world where we're the ones to save the day
                      A
with our masks off we got no place to stay

E                      A
we are, we are X's and we are Y's
                             E
we are breast cancer and the clock that tells time
                          A
we are the carbon and the dust that binds

E                       A
we are, we are love and we are hate
                  E
we are war, poverty, and rape
                          A
we are the apple from the tree that eve ate

[Verse 2]

E                              A
we are the face of god, but we made it ourselves
                         E
it's made of plastic, so please don't ever tell
                 A
we gave light to heaven, and fire to hell

E                          A
we are, we are lovers in a falling building
                     E
and the promise of a diamond wedding ring
                    A
we are artists with dirt in our hands

E                             A
we are, we are each other and one day we'll find
                        E
that love is real, then maybe we are all alive
                          A
til' the clock finds the end of time

E                                A
this is how it begins and how it ends
                             E
just hold each moment as you pull on the minute hand
                A
and think about everyone you've ever met
