G                              D/A
  I thank these walls, my hideaway

A           A*       F#m*
  My sanctuary to worship the pain

G                               D/A
  I never thought I'd leave the cave

A                  A*  F#m*
  But I'm more curious than afraid

G                            D/A
  Stacking layers like sediment

A                          Em   F#m
  Each one adding weight and compression

           G
  And I am tired of forming a cliff face

               D/A
  Inside of my chest now

A                 Em            F#m
  My ribs ache from carrying it around

G                              D/A
  Craning my neck, I'm looking up

A                         F#m
  I'm grieving all that I gave up

G                          D/A
  Eyes focused on a pin of light

A                           F#m
  Arcturus beaming on a summer night

G                                 D/A
  Do you wonder who's looking back?

A                           Em           F#m
  Another life-form on some undiscovered planet

            G                                                   D/A
  A mirror image of us here, but they're pointing up at our sun and

A
  Asking thеmselves

  A*
  What exists bеyond, beyond, beyond, beyond?

G                                D/A
  This blinding light, this reckoning

A                                F#m
  There's more to life than suffering

G                                      D/A
  But there's still time, it's not too late

A                     A* A* A*  G
  Nothing will change until I change
