(the C chord here is less a C chord and more of a softly fingerpicked
0-2 hammer-on on the D string. I use the side of my thumb to imitate
Joey Eppard's weird string attack.)
I don't know your name Did I dream you tonight?
Did I draw the heavens down? Drape my arms around? An angel in flight?
Looking like you love me still As you kill me goodbye
As you're parachuting to the ground, watching me go down
Abandoned in flight You left me to die
Somehow, the chiming of shadows reminds me of you
The haunted and hollow, the light passing through
The sound of your sorrow on the echoes of blue
Down a wind water tunnel, at the turn of a screw
Doing all that you can do to be the wall I'm walking through
Whispers in the dark Can I steal you tonight?
From the wreckage piled high, we'll climb back to the sky
Leap from the ledge, full of faith we can fly
So come on, reanimate, angel, break from your cage
Witness the prophecy sprung from the page
The moon in your marrow, the smoke on your skin
The mask in the mirror, the monster within
But the barrier is thin and the room begins to spin
Don't you know that the war has blown over? We weathered the storm
The grass has grown over the graves that we mourn
Now the brightness is teeming, the chains slip away
The wolf in the wool is no longer at bay
The portal is open, the walls disappear
Jump through the hoop and the hell out of here
A song in a box on wheels we have blown
Glides on the back of a snake made of stone
Through shadows unfolding and clouds fallen slack
At the edge of tomorrow with no turning back
Reanimate, angel, break from your cage
Witness the prophecy sprung from the page
The moon in your marrow, the smoke on your skin
The mask in the mirror, the master within
Oh, but I've seen your sorrow at the edge of the screen
Soften the focus and into a dream
Brief instrumental:
But the barrier is thin, and the room begins to spin
The barrier is thin, and the room begins to spin
The moon in your marrow, the smoke on your skin
The portal is open, and the kingdom is within
