[Verse 1]
EbminorThere stands a door that I was yet to consider
But the B/F#locks are all melting and the colors are convincing me
F#Words on the gate reading I'll make this all go C#6away
Just walk through me to the silence, that's the music
In the Ebminorvalley of nothing where everyone started
BeB/F#fore life erased you and made you not part of it
F#Broke off a piece of what was silent, but eternal
And then C#6trapped in a body we beg to return to it
EbminorPlaced in the depths of an ocean, forgetting
How we B/F#belong at the surface but everyone's swimming
Towards F#lights at the bottom reflecting on mirrors
But I could C#6labor no longer and float towards what everyone
EbminorFears the eternal that's found in the shallows
But B/F#one day they will realize what I have just figured out
F#Here, at the bottom, it's cold and it's sort of merciless
But the C#6water gets warmer as you float away from it
[Chorus 1]
EbminorOn my way to live the greatest
B/F#Life, not have one, or I'll just stick arF#ound
And see if it gets better
C#6This decision lasts forever
EbminorSeeing pictures, filled with envy
B/F#Trying to become who I used to F#be
It seems so far from likely
C#6Smiling, he looks nothing like me
[Verse 2]
EbminorLevers and pulleys and spindles of wire
My B/F#limbs are all frozen and my lungs are on fire
And F#here in your arms I feel miles away from you
C#6Know how it's strange, but I mean all that I'm saying, oh
EbminorLevers, and pulleys, and spindles of rope
In that B/F#perfect machine that I used to be, something broke
And then a F#thought so unnatural that it felt like perfection
Came and C#6knocked on my door, and in time I just let it in
EbminorAsking me if I had heard of the surface
Where B/F#nothing goes wrong, and where no one can ever hurt you
And F#taking my hand it allowed me to breathe
Said that C#6there's a way to always feel the way you feel
When you finally find your way to sleep
And then it Ebminorshowed me my life
How it could end, and where it started
And then it B/F#showed me the world but said I'm not a part of it
But the F#lonely and the hurting have a place, no one's seen it
But C#6once I have shown you, you can't ever leave it
No Ebminormatter these thoughts, and these words, so inviting
I B/F#can't say goodbye just quite yet I'll keep fighting it
F#People who love me would never stop hurting
From C#6something so simple yet something so permanent
EbminorGone into the valley where everyone started
Where B/F#smiles are worn by the hopeless and the brokenhearted
F#There in the light of the stars dancing quietly
C#6Spirits at home in the warmth of eternity
[Chorus 2]
EbBroken boy who must keep hoping
B/F#Maybe one day he will figure this oF#ut
Or things will heal in time
This C#6breathing ghost that never died
These Ebminorbits and pieces all left over
B/F#From that smiling child I used to bF#e
I'm cold and terrified
I C#6know there's warmth but I can't find it

Ebminor

B/F#

C#6

[Verse 1]

Ebminor

There stands a door that I was yet to consider

B/F#

But the locks are all melting and the colors are convincing me

F# C#6

Words on the gate reading I'll make this all go away

Just walk through me to the silence, that's the music

Ebminor

In the valley of nothing where everyone started

B/F#

Before life erased you and made you not part of it

Broke off a piece of what was silent, but eternal

C#6

And then trapped in a body we beg to return to it

Ebminor

Placed in the depths of an ocean, forgetting

B/F#

How we belong at the surface but everyone's swimming

Towards lights at the bottom reflecting on mirrors

C#6

But I could labor no longer and float towards what everyone

Ebminor

Fears the eternal that's found in the shallows

B/F#

But one day they will realize what I have just figured out

Here, at the bottom, it's cold and it's sort of merciless

C#6

But the water gets warmer as you float away from it

[Chorus 1]

Ebminor

On my way to live the greatest

B/F# F#

Life, not have one, or I'll just stick around

And see if it gets better

C#6

This decision lasts forever

Ebminor

Seeing pictures, filled with envy

B/F# F#

Trying to become who I used to be

It seems so far from likely

C#6

Smiling, he looks nothing like me

[Verse 2]

Ebminor

Levers and pulleys and spindles of wire

B/F#

My limbs are all frozen and my lungs are on fire

And here in your arms I feel miles away from you

C#6

Know how it's strange, but I mean all that I'm saying, oh

Ebminor

Levers, and pulleys, and spindles of rope

B/F#

In that perfect machine that I used to be, something broke

And then a thought so unnatural that it felt like perfection

C#6

Came and knocked on my door, and in time I just let it in

Ebminor

Asking me if I had heard of the surface

B/F#

Where nothing goes wrong, and where no one can ever hurt you

And taking my hand it allowed me to breathe

C#6

Said that there's a way to always feel the way you feel

When you finally find your way to sleep

Ebminor

And then it showed me my life

How it could end, and where it started

B/F#

And then it showed me the world but said I'm not a part of it

But the lonely and the hurting have a place, no one's seen it

C#6

But once I have shown you, you can't ever leave it

Ebminor

No matter these thoughts, and these words, so inviting

B/F#

I can't say goodbye just quite yet I'll keep fighting it

People who love me would never stop hurting

C#6

From something so simple yet something so permanent

Ebminor

Gone into the valley where everyone started

B/F#

Where smiles are worn by the hopeless and the brokenhearted

There in the light of the stars dancing quietly

C#6

Spirits at home in the warmth of eternity

[Chorus 2]

Broken boy who must keep hoping

B/F# F#

Maybe one day he will figure this out

Or things will heal in time

C#6

This breathing ghost that never died

Ebminor

These bits and pieces all left over

B/F# F#

From that smiling child I used to be

I'm cold and terrified

C#6

I know there's warmth but I can't find it
