C Em Am B C
I'm not sure how these marks came to be on my heart
Em Am B C
in your bed as I slept with the devil had a brawl
Em Am B C
when I awoke prayed to god it had been but a draw
Em Am B C
oh my what more of a mess I will be if I've lost
F C E
now I dream of the sky running towards me, liquid like an ocean
F C E
my little brother is there and I carry him like a newborn
F C E
it seems I'm always lifting him to escape from rabid beasts and storms
F C
behind my eyelids he is light - he's the weight of a quarter
E
but in daylight he is broad and older
C Em Am B C
oh lord, call me back, back to you I will come,
Em Am B C
seal my soul like an envelope, use your spit lick it shut
Em Am B C
bring your knives, use your tools, perform open heart
Em Am B C
the water is scalding, so cold that it burns
Em Am B C
but when I lay in your likeness how you slay all my hurt
Em (Am)
