C Em Am Fm

Intro:

C Em

He bends and he breaks

If you kiss it will take away

Fm C

His passion, his pain, his grace

C Em

He exhales

A thousand black flowers explode

Into butterflies as they're away

Chorus:

Rip them out, take them

Burn to coals as they crush him

Leave nothing that

Resembles a soul of a man

(See him numb, see him crushed)

See him numb, see him crushed

Rip them out, take them

Burn to coals as they crush him

Leave nothing that

Resembles a soul of a man

(Leave him numb, leave him crushed)

Leave him numb, leave him crushed

C Em

Just a fire inside one too many times

He's burning over and out as he fails

Fm C

Up against the raging tides

No more fights

Everything you ever wanted to see

I see it in his eyes

One more time, one more time

Climb down to test the waters

Fm C Em

My hands feel like they're rusting away, yeah

F Fm

So I'll pace around like a lamb before the slaughter

C Em

I'll stay here, as long as you let me

Decisions, then, made obvious,

Fm C Em

So I will return to where I started, I'll stay there

F Fm

Unfinished I'll wither away

Chorus
