   Are we breathing out or breathing in
Are we leaving life or moving in
Exploding out, imploding in
Ingrained in good or stained in sin

   Are we breathing out or breathing in

Are we breathing in
|           G|          GC/  G  
   We are a billion fragments
Exploding outwards
Like broken glass, we damage even in defeat
We are tiny pieces
Falling now and settling
Like snowflake crystals building on the city street
|  C5Fadd2/           C(G) |
   Snowflakes falling...
|  C5Fadd2/           C(G) |
   Snowflakes falling...
Are we the parts, are we the whole
Are we the thoughts, are we the soul
The parts of me and this is true
The parts of me belong to you
[interlude]
|   C     C/Bb|   C  C/    Bb|
Are we breathing out or breathing in
Are we leaving life or moving in
Exploding out, imploding in
Ingrained in good or stained in sin
Are we the parts, are we the whole
Are we the thoughts, are we the soul
The parts of me, and this is true
The parts of me, the parts of you
Belong to 
[outro]
 You         and you
