[Intro]

D6 D6 D6 D6
D6 D6 D6 D6
[Verse 1]
D6
Eyeless in the morning sun you were
D6
Pale and mild, a modern girl
D6
Taken with thought, still prone to care
D6
Making tea in your underwear
A7
You went out in the yard to find
A7
Something to eat and clear your mind
A7 D6
Something bad inside me went away
[Verse 2]
D6
Quaking leaves and broken light
D6
Shifting skin the coming night
D6
The bearers of all good things arrive
D6
Climb inside us, twist and cry
A7
A kiss on your molten eyes
A7
Myriad lives like blades of grass
A7 D6
Yet to be realized, bow as they pass
[Chorus]
D6
They are cold,
D6
Still,
D6
Waiting in the ether,
Em7
To form,
Em7
Feel,
Em7
Kill,
Em7
Propagate,
Em7 D6
Only to die

Kill,

Only to die
D6
Dissolve
D6
Magically,
D6
Absurdly,
Em7
They'll end,
Em7
Leave,
Em7
Dissipate,
Em7
Coldly
Em7
And strangely
D6
Return
