D Em D There's only one direction in the faces that I see Em It's upward to the ceiling D Where the chamber's said to be Em Like the forest fight for sunlight, D That takes root in every tree Em They are pulled up by the magnet, believing they're free

D Em The porcelain manikin with shattered skin fears attack D And the eager pack lift up their pitchers Em They carry all they lack D Em The liquid has congealed, which has seeped out through the crack, D | Em | And the tickler takes his stickleback
[Chorus]

[Chorus]
F#m The carpet crawlers heed their callers: A G We've got to get in to get out A G We've got to get in to get out D C Em/B D We've got to get in to get out
