(início)

F#
In a chalk dotted line*
C#
Draw a kid, left behind
F
Severed limbs in harmony
Bb                G#
Strumming from a few good deeds
F#
Carry it to survive
C#
To a bed half alive
F
Held before a dozen times
Bb             G#             F#
Deep inside a funeral for a friend:
        C#             F
Runs in portions like film clips
Bb    G#
Run, run
F#
Rundown the list
F#
The memoirist
      F
Like kindling
Bb          G#             C#
Burn, burn, burn, burn it down
             F
I will stay inside
     F#
The saved

It's a good mourning
             F
They will ignite you
       F#
The doomed
    Bb      G#
And I will write for you
F#
Of a boy, damaged goods
C#
Of a bench, understood

For a spell, the soul resides
Bb           G#
In a yellow chalk outline
F#
Carry on the camel's back

Have another heart attack
C#          F
To the cure I would drive
Bb                   G#               F#
Played that scene a hundred times to date
F#         C#           F
Today's ambition, to relate
     Bb         G#         F#
In a sustaining saccharine state
             C#            F
Impart the burden and get well

Anything you want it to be
           C#            F
Weigh the screenplay and revise

Warp, warp, warp with the contortionist

So hopelessly ill-fated everyday
             F
He will stay inside
      F#
The doomed

The saved Innocently filling graves
