D
with a cold brown ground
   A
i remember
          G
a certain fall

D
mother screams and calls
          A
from the sink she saw
    G
me fall, fall, fall
                   D
she thinks there's blood on my hands
     A
but doesn't understand
     G
how deep, deep, deep

     D
she tries to help me stand
        A
but we sink in the sand
      G
neck deep, deep, deep

[Chorus]
C                       G
  time grows stale and still
C                      G
  when waiting on the pill
C                           G
  to dress my wounds in my will
Am
  is this blood real
C                          D
  will i cease to feel

[Verse]
             D 
now there's bareness all around
A
leaves mask the sound
          G
and they fall

         D
mother earth fades and rusts
         A          G
as her child in us falls, falls, falls

 D         
mother doesn't know
    A           G
its ok to slow down, down, down
           D
yes i've dulled and dimmed
               A
but there's a fire still within
      G
deep down, down, down

[Chorus]
C                       G
  time grows stale and still
C                      G
  when waiting on the pill
C                           G
  to dress my wounds in my will
Am
  is this blood real
C                          D
  will i cease to feel
