Raskolnikov
Piano intro
Em7 A D G Em7 A
a siren from somewhere floats through the wood of your door--
Bm
you break down, you offer a prayer, a prayer to the
Em7 A D G Em7 A
feeling you get that collects like the dust in the corners
Bm
it's all around you.
Bm G D A Em7 (B Bb A)
"whose footsteps are these and why do they stop at my door?
Bm G D A Em7 (B Bb A)
a shadow behind me, i swear that i've seen him before"
Em7 Bm A
"leave me alone
Em7 Bm A
i already told you all that i know
Em7 Bm A
won't you leave me alone
Em7 Bm A
why did you come here why can't you find your way--"
Bm G D A Em7 (B Bb A)
home isn't safe but you can't run now that would be suicide
Bm G D A Em7 (B Bb A)
they can't not know, they can't know, you don't know but this isn't right
Em7 A D G Em7 A
a moment's conclusion floats through a premise of blood,
Bm
proud and dissonant... here in the
Em7 A D G Em7 A
feeling you get that forgets to give warning before it comes
Bm
to the dead and the innocent, in symbols it's:
Bm G D A Em7 (B Bb A)
"whose hands are these and why do they stare in such mad intent?
Bm G D A Em7 (B Bb A)
why can't i just be that little boy lost in the crowd again?"
Em7 Bm A
"leave me alone
Em7 Bm A
i already did, more than they could have done
Em7 Bm A
leave me alone
Em7 Bm A
but where did she come from? no-one was supposed to be--"
Bm G D A Em7 (B Bb A)
home isn't there unless the man who once lived there is still alive
Bm G D A Em7 (B Bb A)
you don't not know, you don't know, all you know is this isn't right.
Em7 A D G
Isn't right
Em7 A Bm
