[Intro]
Cm
[Verse 1]
Cm F#7
The silence dominates, divining resolutions from my hands
F Cm
Lines drawn in the sand
Cm F#7
But my volition's wry, my temperance twisted, faced with failing light
F Cm
Nothing in my sight
[Chorus 1]
C# G# C# C# G# C#
If I fall into the ocean, send my soul into the sea
Cm C# C7 Fm
Will these reflections trouble me? Will I dream my final dream?
[Orchestral interlude]
Cm Cm/G Cm/Eb Cm C# (X2)
[Verse 2]
Cm F#7
I sensed this silhouette who's standing vigil growing very sore
F Cm
Just one moment more
Cm F#7
Before I close the curtain, fate uncertain; spirit to the dark
F Cm
Endlessly apart
[Chorus 2]
C# G# C# C# G# C#
Can I fall into the ocean, send my soul into the sea?
Cm C# Cm C#
No distant echoes haunting me, no further phantoms will I see
C7 Fm
This silence held eternally
Cm
[Bridge]
G# Bb Eb G#
But what if the silence is broken by the ones you've loved
Bb Eb G#
Incredibly present, with a heavenly breath to wake you up
Bb Eb G#
With nothing left to poison, a portrait of who I've become
Bb Fm Eb Bbm7 Fm7
Only elation remains, protecting us from this neverending night
[The Moon reprise]
Eb Bbm7 Fm7 (x2)
Eb
Dear apparition, while my senses last
Bbm7
Is absolution far too much to ask?
Fm7
Will you forgive a truly troubled past?
G# Cm
The silver lining still remains, the sights I've left to see
B7
So trust that with this end, a new beginning's waiting patiently
