This Is The Time Ballast

[Intro]
| A5 | - | - |

[Verse 1]
E5
D5     A5
  When did we become these sinking stones?
                          E5       D5
When did we build this broken home?
A5
Holding each other like ransom notes
                           E5              D5
Dropping our hearts to grip  our brother's throats

[Verse 2]
A5
You can't see you don't
         C5                       G5
Caught below, beneath your own shadow
Stuck inside, half alive
       F5                            A5
Do you ever stop to ask yourself why?
Close your mind, identify
       C5
Do you feel, do you feel?
                   G5
Do you call this a life?
All you waited for
E5
Drowning just to keep score

[Bridge]
   F5
We always start with good intentions
    G5
But lose ourselves along the way

[Chorus]
A5                       G5
This is the time that we let it go
E5                            F5
These are the words that will take us home
A5                        G5
Singing the song that's inside us all
E5                   F5
If we don't open our eyes we're

[Verse 3]
A5
  Anchored in anger, we exile ourselves
                            E5     D5
Bitter blood builds our prison cell
A5
Darker water now fills our lungs
                                E5       D5
Depths of our heart have blacked  the sun

[Verse 4]
A5
You can't see you don't
         C5                       G5
Caught below, beneath your own shadow
Stuck inside, half alive
       F5                            A5
Do you ever stop to ask yourself why?
Close your mind, identify
       C5
Do you feel, do you feel?
                   G5
Do you call this a life?
All you waited for
E5
Drowning just to keep score

[Bridge]
   F5
We always start with good intentions
         G5
But lose ourselves along the way

[Chorus]
A5                       G5
This is the time that we let it go
E5                            F5
These are the words that will take us home
A5                        G5
Singing the song that's inside us all
E5                   F5
If we don't open our eyes we're walking blind

[Interlude]
A5
Naked we come, naked we leave
Fools we are, to hold tightly
We are free
We are free

[Chorus]
A5                       G5
This is the time that we let it go
Yeah,
E5                            F5
these are the words that will take us home
A5                        G5
Singing the song that's inside us all
   E5                   F5
If we just open our eyes
A5                       G5
This is the time that we let it go
E5                      F5
This is the pain we are forced to know
A5                        G5
Singing the song that's inside
              E5          F5 A5
Inside us all,  inside us all

[Outro]
E5 D5             A5 E5 D5
     Walking blind
