Fm                         Eb
  Cyclical, stuck inside a never ending rhyme

           Ab                                      Cm
But you're comfortable, just another day composing alibis

Fm
  Sing yourself to sleep, count the days gone by

    Eb
But outside of your walls passes real life

   Ab
So here's a velvet covered brick, death comes to us all too quick

Cm
Here's your chance to live, but I heard you say...
Chorus:
 F5             Ab5   G5 Eb5
"We're heading nowhere

F5              Ab5   G5 Eb5
It's not close to them

F5
  Even horizons can fade

Ab5               Eb5    Db5 C5
  Hope says she's never a saint

F5
  They're all waiting on a prayer

Ab5          G5    Fm
  If we're heading nowhere"
Verse 2:
Fm                                  Eb
  Turbulence, am I causing you to think outside a cell for once

          Ab                                               Cm
Just feel comfortable, dissolving years like no one else before

            Fm
And I said, we'll go where you are, lead your way through this

    Eb
But fear and fail has made you its captive, it's passive

   Ab
So here's a velvet covered brick, death comes to us all too quick

Cm
Here's your chance to love, but I heard you scream!
