[Verse 1]
C#m E A
Is this an exercise or an exorcism?
C#m E A
Firework pilots fly towards the explosion
C#m E A B
In the sky, the bright coloured lights suffer in the horizon of my mind
A B
I'm a patient with no patience
A B
Hospital handshakes
[Chorus]
C#m A C#m A
We must each be broken if we're ever to be made new again
E A B (F#m)
The current of this currency is pain
C#m
Painting me golden
[Verse 2]
C#m
You're a ghost in the sun
E A
A massacre on the winter
C#m
Silent sea, deafening defeat
E A
Drowning in minor seconds
C#m E A B
Til there's no line between the truth and the lies we're all hiding behind
A
If it's a choice, what will we decide?
B A B
When we choose sides between the darkness and the light
[Chorus]

[Bridge]
A B C#m G#m A
She held my hands and walked me back from the ledge where I was standing
A B C#m E
My father sent me to my mother to be punished no longer
A B
I'm gonna heal up now from this trauma
C#m
I've closed the window
G#m A B
Shortened the shadows
C#m - E - A
A C#m - E- A
Hospital handshakes
