Dm                                     Bb
Serve or break the patterns that would be
                      C
Echo positions of the free
       A        Bb   C A
Middle child of eternity
Dm                 F                Bb
Caught between the branches and the roots
                     C
Move in any way that suits
    A                 Bb  C A
The creeping vines of anomie

[Chorus]
Bb A Dm
        C            Bb A Dm 
I never wanted to believe
        C                Bb A Dm
I never asked if I could stay
           C                A
Switch the pressures you relieve
                             Dm
Forge your aggression in the clay

[Verse]
    Dm                       Bb
The art that I buried in the earth
                       C
Sketching parallels to understand
A           Bb          C A
Why I can't share your love
Dm           Bb
Watchmen and makers in dissent
         Dm             C
I’m only building what I meant
   F A    Bb         C A
To do so many lives ago

[Chorus]
Bb A Dm
        C            Bb A Dm 
I never wanted to believe
        C                Bb A Dm
I never asked if I could stay
           C                A
Switch the pressures you relieve
                             Dm
Forge your aggression in the clay

[Chorus]

I never wanted to believe

I never asked if I could stay
           C                A
Switch the pressures you relieve

           C                A
Switch the pressures you relieve

Forge your aggression in the clay
