Verse 1
EmFifteen years I raged against the constant C, the speed of light

Cthe diagrams and haunted sleep, frozen sheets, in bed, my dreams

Gyour garden grave, I'd climb inside, hold your bones and slowly die

Amthe cooling space inside your chest, my broken bride, you never breathed again.

EmCircuits fail, the cosmic strings like rubber bands, I lose control

Cthey snap, I fall through mist to mud against my face, the taste of blood

Gthe world is strange, the stinking earth and giant trees through heavy air a demon shrieks,
Gwhat have I done, what hell is waiting
for me?

Chorus
AmI crashed beFfore the birth of CChrist

PteroGdactyls swarming

AmYou died in 1F989

CJust wanna get back Gto that morning in May

FKeep you in Ambed, never esGcape

Holding you Cclose, oh oh oh-oh-oh

FListen to you Ambreathe the evening Gglow

of fading Glight and cooling spaEmce.

VERSE 2   same chord progression

Em     C     G     Am

Like motor oil down my throat, I couldn't speak, I dropped the phone
the burning flares, the steam, your hair, bits of glass, they sparkled everywhere
like winter nights, the stars, the ice, all intertwined to hold and keep
like petals pressed in sheets, making love to moonlight in our sleep.
And now above the pits of tar, in a cave I hide
that massive, screaming thing with wings of reaper's cloth, it's standing
just outside
I must get to my machine, I will bring you back to life
fix your ruined lungs, I'll undo what Time has done!

Interlude
I Emcarve your sweet Cname into the Gcave, I'm sure to Cdie

All my Emstrife has been in Cvain, the glaciers Gcome and wash my words

Caway.
