Bits and pieces by the back bay

No one asks, "Is this a war?"

You lace your boots & go to war
[Verse 2]

Set the shot, I put my gun away

Not burdened anymore

I weigh the world on a sliding scale, and I

 D                  A           E
Wouldn't worry if "heads" or "tails" decides

   D                     A        E 
We're all strapped to the spinning wheel

 C#m
And there's a blindfolded man in a tux throwing knives

In the bear pit out at Heaven's Gate

     D                     E
It's not a culture, it's a cult

   F#                 E
Not a circle, it's a hole
[Verse 5]
D                    A         E
I used to think it'd all come back again

D                    A          E          D    
Less a question of "if" than "where" and "when"

D               A    E
Life, looping & infinite

I was protecting myself

C#m
Once it's finished, it's finished

We are who we've always been
