[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
Am C Am C
Folds in the wind; the wake of rock and pen
Am C Am C
O you mystery: can the mind fit in the brain?
[Hook 1]
F
The drop of a jaw
C
The click of a tongue
G Am
Larynx and lung
F C Em

[Verse 2]
F C G
Once the "farmer", not the "man-on-the-farm"
F C G
Our ziggurat bricks all baked up from the ground
F C G C F
But that day she fell like cold water on my comfortably ignorant skin
C G
I knew our life defined our words unalike…
F G C
When I woke, we were smoke on a tight rope afloat on the notion:
Am F C Em
"if all of this is arbitrary, why does it happen at all?"
F C G
And it's been years of my trying to make sense of one week
(Drop of the jaw, the click of the tongue, larnyx and lung)
Am F C Em

(To etchings in clay of glyphs and cuneiform)
[Verse 3]
F C G C
"O dear heart, locked away
F C G
Given but description of a window to light your way
F G C
Would dare thee bell, a song to sing?
F C
Take care, the way out is more damaging."
