CC/BC/AC/B
One hand on this wily comet
CC/BC/AC/G
Take a drink just to give me some weight
CC/BC/AC/G F G
Some uberman I would make up, barely a vapor
They shone a chlorine light on
A host of individual sins
Let's carve my aging face off
G C GC
Fetch us a knife, start with my eyes,
GCF G
Down so the lines form a grimacing smile
v2
Close your eyes to coral the virtues
Is this fooling anyone else
Never worked so long and hard to cement a failure
We can blow on our thumbs and posture
But the loneliest is delicate things
The wind from a wasp could blow them
Into the sea, with stones on their feet
Lost to the light and the loving we need.
chorus
AmEmAm
Stencil carved since you've come
Em G
The worst part and you know it
Am EmAm
There is a numbness
EmG
In your heart and its growing
v3
With burnt sage and a forest of bygones
I click my heals get the devils in line
A list of thing I could lay the blame on that give me a way out
But with each scent it is front and center
Like a dot stuck square in your eye
Every post you can hitch your faith on is
A pie in the sky, chock full of lies
A tool we devise to make sinking stones fly
