Bm7Dmaj7Em Before was the silence and the panic it brought
Bm7Dmaj7Em The sky was the blankest sheet
Bm7Dm7Em We drew lines upon it so our thoughts could meet
Bm7Dmaj7Em through cables black and cold
Bm7Dmaj7Em we carry our intentions to bridge and bring home
Bm7Dmaj7Em would it all be so clear
Bm7Dm7Em if the lines were erased and the silence restored
