D#, A#, G#D#, A#, G#D#, A#, G#Cm, Cm, A#, D#D#A#G#
The icons cluttering your bureau
D#A#G#
Are eyeing me as I walk in
CmA#G#D#
Your guardians are present in here
CmA#D#
And I trust that they have always been
D#A#G#
Hiding somewhere in your closet
D#A#G#
Collecting moisture from your face
CmA#G#D#
Your secret world speaks without words
CmA#G#
And I feel clumsy and cumbersome in this place
CmA#G#D#
But if I want them too, will they speak to me soon
CmA#G#
In a language ripe for my listening?
CmA#G#D#
When the harsh sun breaks in your stained glass eyes
CmA#D#
The refracted light keeps glistening
D#A#G#
A drapery of clashing fabrics
D#A#G#
In every corner of your room
CmA#G#D#
They hung like lace on the whitewashed face
CmA#D#
Of the walls that are begging you to move
D#A#G#
And leave the things that hold a history
D#A#G#
As if they're present in your will
CmA#G#D#
A brand new place a few miles away
CmA#G#
But I just wasn't sure I was staying still
CmA#G#D#
But if you choose this too, it's an honest move
CmA#G#
And I guess that it makes for no deferences
CmA#G#D#
There's a gleam of blue from a cold night's moon
CmA#G#
Just a touch too soon, two deliverances
CmA#G#D#Cm
On an empty panel floor I lie here
A#G#D#
For communion just waiting for one more
CmA#G#D#
But in the quiet empty hours of my afternoon
CmA#G#
What am I supposed to do? What was I supposed to do?
CmA#G#D#
But if I want them to, will they come to me soon?
CmA#G#D#
Will they fluctuate between midnight and past noon?
CmA#G#D#
Was kind of banking on a future that'd be involving you
CmA#G#
But I couldn't ask this of you, I couldn't ask that
Cm, A#, G#Cm, A#, D#Cm, A#, D#CmA#G#D#
In this young night's sky there are pinhole lights
CmA#G#
Find the shape of a harp and an arrowhead
CmA#G#D#
Do I hear your tunes or acknowledge wounds
CmA#D#
That I got from rubbing elbows with a sharpened edge?
CmA#G#D#
But if I choose this too does it count as my move?
CmA#G#
I can't drop my history just to become new
CmA#G#D#
Now I'm swimming through the nothingness and the absolute
CmA#G#
But I couldn't ask this of you, I couldn't ask that
D#, A#, G#G#, A#, G#Cm, A#, G#, D#Cm, A#, G#
