Lyrics

Lost in (C)skies of pow dered gold,

caught in (F)clouds of sil ver ropes,

show ered (C)by the emp ty hopes

as I (F)tum ble my down, fall ing fast to the ground.

I (Am)know

I’ll with er,

so peel a way the (F)bark,

’cause noth ing

grows when it is (Am)dark.

In spite of all my (G)fears, I can see it all so (F)clear,

I see it all so clear.

Whoa,

cov er your (G)crys tal (Am)eyes and feel the (G)tones that trem ble (F)down your (C)spine.

Whoa,

cov er your (G)crys tal (Am)eyes and let your (G)col ors bleed and (F)blend with (C)mine.

Mak ing (C)waves in pitch black sand;

feel the (F)salt dance on my hands.

Raw and (C)char coal col ored thighs

feel so (F)cold, and my skin feels so pa per the thin.

I (Am)know

I’ll with er,

so peel a way the (F)bark,

’cause noth ing

In spite of all my (G)fears, I can see it all so (F)clear,

I see it all so clear.

Whoa,

cov er your (G)crys tal (Am)eyes and feel the (G)tones that trem ble (F)down your (C)spine.

Whoa,
