[Verse]
Am G D F The rain auditions at my window Am G D F Its symphony echoes in my womb Am G D F My gaze scans the walls of this apartment Am G D. F Am To rectify the confines of my tomb-ouuuh
F Am
F Em I'm the cyclops in the tenement, I'm the soul without the cause F Em Crying 'midst my rubber plants, ignoring beckoning doors F Gm Clippings from ancient newspapers lie scattered cross the floor F Em Stained by the wine from a shattered glass, Meaningless words, yellowed by time F Gm Faded photos exposing pain, Celluloid leeches bleeding my mind F Em Christ, you've finished playing hangman, you've cast the fateful dice F Gm Advise, advise, advise me, This shroud shall not suffice Am G D F Am G D F And thus begins the web Am G D F Attempting to discard these clinging memories Am G D F I only serve to wallow in our past Am G D F I fabricate the weave with my excuses Am G D F Its strands I hope and pray shall last Am G D F Am G D F Oh, please do last Am G D F Am G D F Am Oh, please do last
F Gm
F Em The flytrap needs the insect, ivy caresses the wall F Gm Needles make love to the junkies, the sirens seduce with their call F Em Confidence has deserted me, with you it has forsaken me F Em Confused and rejected, despised and alone, I kiss isolation on its fevered brow F Em Security clutching me, obscurity threatening me F Em Christ, your reasons were so obvious as my friends have qualified F Em I only laughed away your tears, but even jesters cry Am G D F Am G D F But even jesters cry Am G D F I realise I hold the key to freedom Am G D F Oh, I cannot let my life be ruled by threads Am G D F The time has come to make decisions Am G D F The changes have to be made
Am G F G x4 (solo)
Am G D F I realise I hold the key to freedom Am G D F I cannot let my life be ruled by threads Am G D F The time has come to make decisions Am G D F Am The changes have to be made Bm Now I leave you, the past does have its say C D You're all but forgotten, a mote in my heart Em Decisions have been made E They've been made, they've been made
D E D E X4 (solo 2)
E E E D E Decisions have been made D E I've conquered my fears D C Oh, my fears B E The flaming shroud D C The flaming shroud B Thus ends the web, the web, the web. E The web.
