| Eb/G | - | Dbm    | C6 |

[Verse 1]
D5                   Cm7
  The walls of a poem
D5                          Bb5/F
  like the foldin' of wings.
D5                          Cm7       D5
  They burn through the base   of the skull.

[Pre-Chorus]
| Em | Dbm | Em | C |

[Verse 2]
D5                 Cm7
  Under the eyelids
D5                  Bb5/F
  the night eternal.
D5                  Cm7   D5
  Down fell the city   of words.

[Chorus]
| Eb/G | - | Adim/D | -  |
| Eb/G | - | Dbm    | C6 |

[Verse 3]
D5                       Cm7
  The blackness throbbin'
D5
Foul and unrestrained
Bb5/F D5
        Under the seafloor.
Cm7 D5
      Against the white sand.

[Pre-Chorus]
Em          Dbm
  Where the land has been drinkin'
Em C                   Em
   All our blood and regret
    Dbm
Our words are like quicksand.
Em C                  Eb/G
  Against the endless sky.

[Chorus]
Adim/D Eb/G Dbm C6
Eb/G
    The poisonous darkness
Adim/D
      In solid silence
Eb/G
    Like rivers in ice.
       Dbm                    C6
We burn   like blindin' fires.

   Deep in the lungs of Hell to sink like lead.
Ebm       B
   In the void of my spirit.

   Deep in the lungs of Hell.

Traceless through the air.
