Am*            E7               Am             F
The sudden realization that not all is what it seems
Am*            E7       Am
rises somehow exponentially
   Dm           Am          E
it turns from a cry into a wail
         Am              Dm(add9)
then a scream and then a howl,
    Am             E            Am
an endless broken dull soliloquy
 
Am            Dm(add9)                E    E7
Pain can force the hand and turn the mind
Am                      Dm(add9)       E    E7
the pictures taint the judgement every time
Am*           E7              Am                 F
then i turn around and see a wreck strewn on the road
     Am*              E7                Am
The pictures and the pain you'll never know
     Dm               Am               E
the pictures and the pain that I was good enough
    Am               Dm(add9)
to keep from scarring you.
       Am                 E               Am
Some things are meant for you and you alone
 
    Am            Dm(add9)     E   E7
And so I add more fuel to the fire
    Am             Dm(add9)       E   E7
and try to find an answer in the pyre
    Am*                  E7              Am               F
at first the flames are comfort but the smoke gets in the eyes
        Am*           E7                Am
there's only so much left that one can burn
     Dm             Am                 E
and now I find I'm dancing 'round the ashes
         Am               Dm(add9)
of the bridges that i've burned.
         Am                E                  Am
I take nothing from the lessons that I learned
 
    Am             Dm(add9)          E    E7
And so the wheel relentlessly goes round
     Am             Dm(add9)        E    E7
just cuts the rut a little deeper down
      Am                 A7            Dm(add9)
this youthful smile has turned into a frown,
     Am              E
the eyes forever down,
      E7                 Am
the spark forever drowned.

      Dm
I'll sing as I go
           Dm(add9)         Am
I've learned well that it's best not to know
                Dm(add9)
and I use up the last of what's left
      Am          E            Am
in a vain effort just to forget
 
             Dm
this anchor drags as it's pulled
                     Am
it's disturbing the calm of the pool
                   Dm(add9)
I am lost in this mournful refrain
      Am     E               Am
while re-analyzing this stain,
Dm(add9) Am               E           Am
  this tainted wreck of lies... again
 
            Dm
and if what you said is true
                    Am
I'm condemned to repeat 'till i'm through
                   Dm(add9)
least until i can learn to forgive
    Am           E           Am
or learn simply not to relive
 
           Dm
and this dream i could weep
                  Am
so profoundly i finally could sleep
                   Dm(add9)
undisturbed by the demons and shades
         Am       E               Am
and this endless cycle of betrayal

and how is one supposed to mourn if one is not entirely sure what has died
