F7                     G#                    D#
You were called like a curtain, split like a second, 
                     F#        F7
broken like a sword stuck in a rock
                   G#                  D#
forged for a hero, birthed forth for a heart 
                F#       F7
much purer than his/mine/ours.



F7                       G#    D# 
It’s uncertain when the tables turned, 
                     F#                        F7                                         
but when all of your brothers have given their lives
                   G#                   D#
for the strife you earned, you will get burned 
                F#                 F
and it won't get better when put on ice.


F                  G#
And I wasn’t going anywhere fast, 
    F                             G#
and my sister said she’d seen the end of my path.
    D#             
The direction that I fly, 
                     E               F
straight through the eye of our aftermath.


F7     G#       D#       F#


F7                G#                       D#
And you have to ignore it, don’t think about before, 
       F#                                   F7
you’ve got enough fight inside to fill five world wars.
                                  G#                      D#
It’s just a game, just another cause, you’re a switch and I’m a cog 
                F#                     F7
and last thing we need is another broken clock.


                G#             
So forget about your ghost limbs and 
D#                             F#                   F7                    
all those things that scared you most as a child of 12.
               G#                        D#                              
You see I’m 13 now, and if I die for the thousandth time,
 F#                               F7                         
I’m unafraid, for I outnumber hell.


 F7                G#                                                                     
And I wasn’t going anywhere good, so I 
F7                            G#                                                           
straightened my glasses and I did what I could
                          D#                                                          
What I had to but damn it’s hard 
           E             F7                                                             
not to look back at the time.


    F7                 G#                                                                                 
But I wasn’t going anywhere fast, so I 
 F7                    G#                                                                         
said goodbye to walking my own path.
       D#                                                                    
The direction that I fly, 
                     E              C#   D#                                                              
straight through the eye of our aftermath.


         Fm                         C#   D#                                                               
What makes us who we are, is it our bones?
         Fm                          C#   D#                                                              
Wrapped in all our scars, they’re ours alone,
         Fm                          C#   D#                                                                         
they outweigh tails and talons, feathers, foam,
         Fm                                                                                                                
unless they’re not, unless they don’t.

F7                       G#                    D#
You were called like a curtain, split like a second, 
             F#                F7
broken like a sword stuck in a rock.
