Why do I deserve the silence to feel better about you?
Em
D
At a loss I lost my cool
A
Em
I denied that I found you
Em
D
I tried to be a basket case
A
Em
I did not surprise you
Em
D
I'm trying to find a signal fire
A
Em
Let me know when I should move
G
D
But you, amplified in the silence
A
Em
Justified in the way you make me bruise
Em
D
Magnified in the silence
A
Em
Anatomically proved
G
A
Em
That you don't need me
Em
D
Why do I desire the space?

I was mourning after you
Em

I was lost and lost my shape
A
Em
There was nothing I could do
Em

I don't want to waste away

It was all I gave to you

Take me back and take my place

I will rise right up for you

F#m
Em
Nobody's gonna tear you down now
Em
A
There is nothing you keep, there is only your reflection
Em
There was nothing but quiet retractions
D
A
And families pleading, "Don't look in that cabinet, there's far more bad than there's good,
Em
I don't know how it got there"
Em
That was something your father had burned in me
D
Twenty hours out of Homestake eternity
A
Em
"You can go anywhere but you are where you came from"
Em
Little girl you are cursed by my ancestry
D
There is nothing but darkness and agony
A

I can not only see, but you stopped me from blinking
Em
Let me watch you as close as a memory
D
Let me hold you above all the misery
A
Em
Let me open my eyes and be glad that I got here
