[Verse]
EmBirds don‘t sing it‘s like they know what‘s coming
Geverything collides
and when the Emblack clouds form on southern ground
Gnoone here survives
[Pre Chorus]
so we Emfeed ourselves on the empty
and Gbreathe in their lies
while the Emwater brings no cleansing
just Greflects strangers eyes
[Chorus]
          G*      F#*   E*
we scream who are we to know
G*      F#*   E*
who are we to question
       G*  F#*   E*
at the end of it all
G*          F#*     E*
truth‘s too hard to mention
[Verse]
Embuildings fall and the herds start running
Gchased out by the skies
Embut all that comes from broken dreams
I Gburned out empty tries
[Pre Chorus]
they Emfeed themselves on the empty
and Gbreathe out their lies
while the Emwater we‘ve been trending
gets Gdeeper all the while
[Chorus]
          G*      F#*   E*
we scream who are we to know
G*      F#*   E*
who are we to question
       G*  F#*   E*
at the end of it all

Emdon‘t get lost don‘t forge your own cage
Gyou‘ll not hold the key
Emdon‘t get lost don‘t forge your own cage
Gyou‘ll not hold the key
[Bridge]
G*  F#* E*  E  
for ve-ry long
[Verse]
EmBirds don‘t sing it‘s like they know what‘s coming
Geverything collides
Emand when the black clouds form on southern ground
Gnoone here survives
[Pre Chorus
so we Emfeed ourselves on the empty
and Gbreathe in their lies
while the Emwater we‘ve been drinking
it Gburns us deep inside
[Chorus]
            G*       F#*   E*
we screamed who were we to know
G*       F#*    E*
who were we to question
       G*  F#*   E*

[Intro]

Em G

[Verse]

Birds don‘t sing it‘s like they know what‘s coming

everything collides

and when the black clouds form on southern ground

noone here survives

[Pre Chorus]

so we feed ourselves on the empty

and breathe in their lies

while the water brings no cleansing

just reflects strangers eyes

[Chorus]

G F# E

* * *

we scream who are we to know

G F# E

who are we to question

at the end of it all

truth‘s too hard to mention

[Verse]

buildings fall and the herds start running

chased out by the skies

but all that comes from broken dreams

I burned out empty tries

[Pre Chorus]

they feed themselves on the empty

and breathe out their lies

while the water we‘ve been trending

gets deeper all the while

[Chorus]

we scream who are we to know
