Intro:  Am   C   D  E  
Here and nAmow it doesn't matter
The hiCghway you have taken
For nDow as you awaken
You're unEderneath new skin
I'm setting you in motion
And opening your eyes
And underneath these skies
You'll forget all whom you've been
I dust away the plaster
From off your breathing body
You're touching your autonomy
You'll never be the same
And fingers grab at nothing
For the first time they are feeling
For the first time they are healing
As I whisper your new name
Am
I sculpt your naCture within
DI am your PygmEalion
AmGo now iCnto the world
FTrial by fire, trEial by fire.
The passing of an hour
The splitting of a fraction
A chemical reaction
Is waiting to fluoresce
Your mind is still rewiring
The colors of the morning
The sound of hornets swarming
The glow of my caress
And have you seen the outside
The world that lies beyond us
Where streets are paved with jaundice
Where innocence forgot?
And have you seen the future?
So hard is it to hold you
So hard is it to mold you
To something you are not
And can you live on your own?
I give you up, I turn to stone
Go now into the world
Trial by fire
Here
Now
Start to move
Uncertain with each step you take
What is gentleness beyond my eyes
Beyond my bodyscape
Turn and look one more time
See me brimming with saltwater brine
Away you run
Away I give

Am C D E

Intro:

Here and now it doesn't matter

The highway you have taken

For now as you awaken

You're underneath new skin

I'm setting you in motion

And opening your eyes

And underneath these skies

You'll forget all whom you've been

I dust away the plaster

From off your breathing body

You're touching your autonomy

You'll never be the same

And fingers grab at nothing

For the first time they are feeling

For the first time they are healing

As I whisper your new name

I sculpt your nature within

D E

I am your Pygmalion

Am C

Go now into the world

F E

Trial by fire, trial by fire.

The passing of an hour

The splitting of a fraction

A chemical reaction

Is waiting to fluoresce

Your mind is still rewiring

The colors of the morning

The sound of hornets swarming

The glow of my caress

And have you seen the outside

The world that lies beyond us

Where streets are paved with jaundice

Where innocence forgot?

And have you seen the future?

So hard is it to hold you

So hard is it to mold you

To something you are not

And can you live on your own?

I give you up, I turn to stone

Go now into the world

Trial by fire

Here

Now

Start to move

Uncertain with each step you take

What is gentleness beyond my eyes

Beyond my bodyscape

Turn and look one more time

See me brimming with saltwater brine

Away you run

Away I give
