[Verse 1]
Em D Em D Em Would you listen when the wind decides to whisper English fate? Em D Em D Em Would you heed the words within the winds that whisper it's too late? F Em Would you see the reasons falling from the sky? F Am Or the locust screaming madly as you turn around and die? Em F Em Would you recognize some message to relate?
[Verse 2]
Em D Em Have you felt the atmospheric friction churning up above? Em D Em D Em All the traits and descriptions seem to fit just like a glove F Em Can you see us scratching backwards through the seams F Am Crawling circles on our back with our dumbfounded expertise? Em F Em Just the thought of this is riddled with disease
[Instrumental]
Guitar solo
[Verse 3]
Em D Em Can you see her moving slowly to the rhythm of this song? Em D Em Would you like to tag along with us? I know it won't be long F Em Could she lead us back to somewhere you desire? F Am Could she lead us to the doorway? Would you sit down by the fire? Em F Em And would your eyes be sealed with love instead of hate?
[Verse 4]
Em D Em D Em Can you see the empty chambers of your head begin to spin Em D Em Leaving nothing but the cavity for all the living skin? F Em Would you settle for the empty space within? F Am Or just kick and scream for something else to carry your thoughts in? Em F Em One foot before the other, let's begin
[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
Em D Em Have you grown without a doubt or have you always wondered why? Em D Em Does this morning rush intrusively to flash your waking eyes F Em Do you take it in or leave it as it lay? F Am Would you give a nod to life before returning to the clay? Em F Em Could you think about tomorrow like today?
[Instrumental]
