Waiting for the Gsky to Frain
I'm Calmost through this Gthorny Cpatch
That I will not go Gthrough aFgain

For I am bound to Gwho you Fare
My Cnavigation's GprimiCtive
To move at all, I Gneed the Fstars
To Dmmove at all, I Cneed the Gstars
To Cmake a move, I Gneed the Fstars
CStanding on a Gbroken Cpath
Waiting for the Gsky to FrainC  G  C  
Blood demands a Gthicker Cskin
A thicker skin turned Gto the Ffray
It's Cbriar, bramble, Gneedle, Cpin

CStanding on a Gbroken Cpath
Waiting for the Gsky to FrainC  G  C  
City streets are GwilderCness
Where paranoia's Gcommon Fsense
