Verse:
C Em
Machines in the atmosphere begin
C Em
Machines in the atmosphere begin to ignite themselves
C Em
And I live in a majestic hue
C Em
I, alive, in an overwhelmingly beautiful place
F G
My mind is blown
Chorus:
Am C Am C
And I will choose to sing right through
Am C Dm G
All my days until Armageddon reigns
Dm G
Or takes over our brains
Dm G
With everyone around me saying, "It's okay"
Verse:
C Em
Building these buildings before I
C Em
Building these buildings before I was born into the air
C Em
But the sky can only supply so much
C Em
The sky can only apply so much of it's knowledge to us
F G
So we forget
Am C Am C
And I will choose to dance right through
Am C Dm G
All my days until my heart explodes
Dm G
Or my head grinds up its gears
Dm G
And it's the end of my
C Am
Years I've been walking 'round this ground
C Am
My fears, I fear, amount to only death of memories
C Am
Remember when you held me so close?
C
Was that this life?
Was that this life?
Em F
Or am I slowly drifting out of time
G
To live
