Intro: C Em Bm C2
Cmaj7
We're the reflection of imperfection
G/B A7sus2 D/F#
We come from the infinite place of limitation
Am Cmaj7
Rejoice in these days, make a correction
Em D/F# G
We're the completion
Cmaj7
Lights out, down for the count, can't get up
G/B A7sus2 D/F#
Meanwhile the enemy screams the boy is stuck
Am Cmaj7
and the legs of the king are dangling in a rut
Em D/F# G
Falling pieces, lost sparks, hearts cut
Cmaj7
We're not alone in the madness if we're here, then so are you
G/B A7sus2 D/F#
Deepest caverns underground, we've been digging for the truth,
Am Cmaj7 Em D/F# G
Scrape my knees, on the hurdles, face down in the puddles
Cmaj7
Only one who'll get us out of this mess, the one who put us here
G/B A7sus2 D/F#
I've got a spear driven through my ear
Am Cmaj7
Can't you hear the sound, crystal clear, pistols smashing chandeliers
Em D/F# G
Long for brooks of water like the deer
Chorus: x2
Cmaj7
A man is just a man, filled of faults and weakness
G/B
For a young Jerusalem all alone and speechless
A7ssu2
Nighttime, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness
Cmaj7
I feel I'm just a man, flesh and bones, homeless
Cmaj7
Planting seeds, they won't sink in, I'm dried up
G/B A7sus2 D/F#
like the desert earth, how could these seeds give birth
Am Cmaj7
Water me down, liquify, I will not be cursed
Em D/F# G
From one into a million disperse
Cmaj7
Wisdom reigns like water from heaven to below
G/B A7sus2 D/F#
Crush my earth, seeds grow, garden start to grow
Am Cmaj7
You know you've got to rise, though you like to flow
Em D/F# G
You can't keep staring out the window
Cmaj7
Earth, water, wind, fire we stay low while getting higher
G/B A7sus2 D/F#
Spark igniter, fighting tired stay wired, enlighten loads
Am Cmaj7
Fly alive, weep wail chant, cry, let out a sigh
Em D/F# G
Energized, give my last dime, life shouldn't pass me by
Cmaj7
Rise, to the occasion
G/B A7sus2 D/F#
Keep these hearts all blazin build your life on a river of wax
Am Cmaj7
Melt into space, we've been here since the beginning
Em D/F# G
not going away, not going away...
