The Road To Nowhere

Em
The lightning climbing up the walls
Em
The finger drawings on the glass
C
The map of those who used to live here
C
Until the gilded hand was broken
Em
Often there's a voice in my sleeping mind
Em
The words inside my skull at night
C
But once I wake, I cannot read them
C                                 G
My bloody hands remain a question mark

                               A#
Sifting through the hiccups of time
                               C
We'll hide in the bones of the city
                                  G
The engines sing along with their cries
                     A#
This song, it spells disaster
                            C
But it's buried beneath the laughter

Em Em C C x2

Em
The words that fall from out their mouths
Em
Can change in your hands and split the skin
C
So I will keep myself apart
C
from shining eyes and privileged boredom
Em
The thing that I've learned from unusual blood
Em
Is never touch a person's comfort
C
The voice of change is often heard
C                                 G
But fear itself has come to visit

                               A#
Sifting through the hiccups of time
                               C
We'll hide in the bones of the city
                                  G
The engines sing along with their cries
                     A#
This song, it spells disaster
                         C
But we drown it out with laughter

G C x2

        G
And our eyes
                                                   C
They were always pointed at the sky looking for an answer
        G
And our hands
                                                 C
They were stained in black and grey busy solving problems
        Em                                                                  C
And our backs all bear the load of all the things we'll never know until it breaks us
           Em
And in the comfort of the Earth we will not wonder what we're worth
                  C
No, we will sleep soundly
