Levers Tabulatur von Roland Faunte

[Verse 1]
 
D#m
There stands a door that I was yet to consider
        B/C
But the locks are all melting and the colours are convincing me
F#                                              C#6
Words on the gate reading I'll make this all go away
 
Just walk through me to the silence, that's the music
 
       D#m
In the valley of nothing where everyone started
  B/C
Before life erased you and made you not part of it
F#
Broke off a piece of what was silent, but eternal
         C#6
D#nd then trapped in a body we beg to return to it
 
D#m
Placed in the depths of an ocean, forgetting
       B/C
How we belong at the surface but everyone's swimming
        F#
Towards lights at the bottom reflecting on mirrors
            C#6
But I could labour no longer and float towards what everyone
 
D#m
Fears the eternal that's found in the shallows
    B/C
But one day they will realize what I have just figured out
F#
Here, at the bottom, it's cold and it's sort of merciless
        C#6
But the water gets warmer as you float away from it
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
D#m
On my way to live the greatest
B/C                                     F#
Life, not have one, or I'll just stick around
 
And see if it gets better
C#6
This decision lasts forever
 
D#m
Seeing pictures, filled with envy
B/C                           F#
Trying to become who I used to be
 
It seems so far from likely
C#6
Smiling, he looks nothing like me
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
D#m
Levers and pulleys and spindles of wire
   B/C
My limbs are all frozen and my lungs are on fire
    F#
And here in your arms, I feel miles away from you
C#6
Know how it's strange, but I mean all that I'm saying, oh
 
D#m
Levers, and pulleys, and spindles of rope
        B/C
In that perfect machine that I used to be, something broke
           F#
D#nd then a thought so unnatural that it felt like perfection
         C#6
Came and knocked on my door, and in time I just let it in
 
D#m
Asking me if I had heard of the surface
      B/C
Where nothing goes wrong, and where no one can ever hurt you
    F#
And taking my hand it allowed me to breathe
          C#6
Said that there's a way to always feel the way you feel
 
When you finally find your way to sleep
 
            D#m
And then it showed me my life
 
How it could end, and where it started
            B/C
D#nd then it showed me the world but said I'm not a part of it
        F#
But the lonely and the hurting have a place, no one's seen it
    C#6
But once I have shown you, you can't ever leave it
 
   D#m
No matter these thoughts, and these words, so inviting
  B/C
I can't say goodbye just quite yet I'll keep fighting it
F#
People who love me would never stop hurting
     C#6
From something so simple yet something so permanent
 
D#m
Gone into the valley where everyone started
      B/C
Where smiles are worn by the hopeless and the brokenhearted
F#
There in the light of the stars dancing quietly
C#6
Spirits at home in the warmth of eternity
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
D#
Broken boy who must keep hoping
B/C                               F#
Maybe one day he will figure this out
 
Or things will heal in time
     C#6
This breathing ghost that never died
 
      D#m
These bits and pieces all left over
B/C                               F#
From that smiling child I used to be
 
I'm cold and terrified
  C#6
I know there's warmth but I can't find it
