     Am     Em/G            F    G
One day I’d like to know my brain

    Am              Em/G            F       G
At least as well as I know those of strangers.

        Am         Em/G      F   G
To look through an objective lens

     Am        Em/G                F     G
With no self-imposed perception of danger.

   Am   Em/G       F   G
Almost actively numbing,

   Am                Em/G          F     G
I postpone feeling, leaving it on the shelf

      Am       Em/G  F   G
For tomorrow’s me to feel.

    Am              Em/G           F    G
I resent it all now I’m tomorrow’s self.

This isn’t a children’s story,

               G            Am7
You can’t just wish upon a star.

       Em                Fmaj7
If you don’t put in the fucking work

    G              Am
You won’t get very far.

     Am            G             Am   G
It’s always all or nothing in my head.

     Am                 G        Am           G
Everything gets tucked away for another day instead

         F
Of being heard,

         Em                       Dm
Until a whisper brings a thunderstorm.

       Am             G
Not a single word can be discerned

         F
In the cacophony.

             Dm
It all falls out of me

    Em/G
At once.

          Dm            Em7
The noise ebbs away unresolved.

      Em                  Am
Once again, I’m left with nothing.

   Am    Em/G       F   G
Maybe if I write it down,

   Am             Em/G            F    G
If I can find the words to put on paper.

        Am     Em/G             F     G
Leave myself a secret breadcrumb trail,

    Am            Em/G          F    G
To lead me to my point a little later.

Excuses ‘til it’s actions.

It’s excuses ‘til it’s actions.

            Asus4          Esus4/G  Fmaj7
It’s all excuses ‘til it’s actions,

  C/A             C/G   F
Excuses ‘til it’s actions.

At once.

I won’t let this go unresolved.

This time I won’t be left with nothing.

I’ve seen much clearer since you,

     Am                  Em/G              F       G
You guide me through my thunderstorms with patience.

   Am    Em/G      F    G
I owe it to you to grow.

  Am                    Em/G               F     G
Before you’re lost I’ll build on these foundations.

Every thought will be wholly felt and understood instead

Of left unheard,

No more whispers to bring thunderstorms.

       Am              G
Every single word will be discerned

      F
In a symphony.

               Dm7
It’ll all fall out of me

    G7
In time.

          F             Gsus4  G  C
The song fades away resolved.
