Intro :  A  
BmI wade through the earth,
Sowing my Down, bound up in F#mdiscords
Spread in the Gstones,
Planting deep into ready fears.
EmSoak in these Dheavy rains,
Break from your F#mchrysalis beneath the claGy.
Though I left you behind,
BmI'm all the while, Dwanting, to make my way home.
All the while, watEmching, to Gsee just how you've AgroBbwn.B  
I'm the seeds Bmamong you, I am Demerald blades
With Emother sides and deeper shadGes.
I'm the weeds amBmong you, I am Dconstriction.
I'm the Emtightness in your cheGst.
I could Aruin Bmyou.
I am the horizon, the sinking sun,
I'm the buried, the Embeliever, the Gtomorrow that will Bmcome.
The Emtomorrow that Bmwill come.
I'm the seeds Bmamong you, I am Demerald blades
With Emother sides and deeper shadGes.
I'm the weeds amBmong you, I am Dconstriction.
I'm the Emtightness in your cheGst.
I could Aruin Bmyou.
I could ruin yF#ou.
BmConvict me of the devil in the details,
F#Of these crimes; oh so meticulGous were we,
Of passion; EmI'll plead guilty.
F#I'll plead guilty to every taken chance.
Cause BmI am Btangled Bmmachinery, I am wDreckage.
Distinguish the Gscars between;
The pleasure as you dragged me down,
Or the Dshards as they dragged you fBmree.
I am the knotted anchors belEmow the groundD,
I'm the shadow that weighs you doGwn.
I'm the Aghost on your lips, the Gphantom's Akiss,
I'll be the page of your book that's Bmmissing.
Bm D Em G
AI'm the seeds Bmamong you, I am Demerald blades
With Emother sides and deeper shadGes.
AI'm the weeds amoBmng you, I am cDonstriction.
I'm the Emtightness in your cheGst.
I could Aruin Bmyou.
