(Title:THE MESSENGER)
EmThere are fleeting fits of reason between the
Amsleeping and the drinks
Where a
B7million different sensory
Emexperiences blink
EmAnd it’s there within the momentary
Amdarkness you can breathe
Cmaj7Be a form without
B7reflection or
Emdebris
EmThere are bloody bouts of tenderness
Amagainst the bonds of fear
Facing
B7combat everlasting, vultures
Emcircle ever near
EmNow they’re placing bets deciding who will
Ambe the first to feast
Cmaj7We can flood the battle
B7field with something
Emweak
AmBarrel chested bankers buying
Embillboards by the score
AmPlacing all their eggs in baskets
B7made of future funeral wars
EmNow their children fight in microcosmic
Ammirrors of their game
Cmaj7And the messenger will
B7always be to
Emblame
EmThere are centuries of seasons turning
Amwhite to green to brown
Cycling
B7through each sort of sequence, turning
Emtemperaments around
EmThese incessant spinning seasons making
Amdizzy all our days
Cmaj7We’ll succumb to something
B7stranger
Emanyway
Cmaj7Some disaster in a
B7story ending brand new
Emday
AmBarrel chested bankers buying
Embillboards by the score
AmPlacing all their eggs in baskets
B7made of future funeral wars
EmNow their children fight in microcosmic
Ammirrors of their game
Cmaj7And the messenger will
B7always be to
Emblame
Cmaj7And the messenger will
B7always be to
Emblame
