Levers

        B/F#
But the locks are all melting and 
the colors are convincing me
F#                                
Words on the gate reading I'll 
              C#6
make this all go away

Just walk through me to the silence,
 that's the music

       Ebminor
In the valley of nothing where 
everyone started
  B/F#
Before life erased you and made you 
not part of it
F#
Broke off a piece of what was 
silent, but eternal
         C#6
And then trapped in a body we beg to
 return to it

Ebminor
Placed in the depths of an ocean, 
forgetting
       B/F#
How we belong at the surface but 
everyone's swimming
        F#
Towards lights at the bottom 
reflecting on mirrors
            C#6
But I could labor no longer and 
float towards what everyone

Ebminor
Fears the eternal that's found in 
the shallows
    B/F#
But one day they will realize what I
 have just figured out
F#
Here, at the bottom, it's cold and 
it's sort of merciless
        C#6
But the water gets warmer as you 
float away from it


[Chorus 1]

Ebminor
On my way to live the greatest
B/F#                           
Life, not have one, or I'll just 
          F#
stick around

And see if it gets better
C#6
This decision lasts forever

Ebminor
Seeing pictures, filled with envy
B/F#                           F#
Trying to become who I used to be

It seems so far from likely
C#6
Smiling, he looks nothing like me


[Verse 2]

Ebminor
Levers and pulleys and spindles of 
wire
   B/F#
My limbs are all frozen and my lungs
 are on fire
    F#
And here in your arms I feel miles 
away from you
C#6
Know how it's strange, but I mean 
all that I'm saying, oh

Ebminor
Levers, and pulleys, and spindles of
 rope
        B/F#
In that perfect machine that I used 
to be, something broke
           F#
And then a thought so unnatural that
 it felt like perfection
         C#6
Came and knocked on my door, and in 
time I just let it in

Ebminor
Asking me if I had heard of the 
surface
      B/F#
Where nothing goes wrong, and where 
no one can ever hurt you
    F#
And taking my hand it allowed me to 
breathe
          C#6
Said that there's a way to always 
feel the way you feel

When you finally find your way to 
sleep

            Ebminor
And then it showed me my life

How it could end, and where it 
started
            B/F#
And then it showed me the world but 
said I'm not a part of it
        F#
But the lonely and the hurting have 
a place, no one's seen it
    C#6
But once I have shown you, you can't
 ever leave it

   Ebminor
No matter these thoughts, and these 
words, so inviting
  B/F#
I can't say goodbye just quite yet 
I'll keep fighting it
F#
People who love me would never stop 
hurting
     C#6
From something so simple yet 
something so permanent

Ebminor
Gone into the valley where everyone 
started
      B/F#
Where smiles are worn by the 
hopeless and the brokenhearted
F#
There in the light of the stars 
dancing quietly
C#6
Spirits at home in the warmth of 
eternity


[Chorus 2]

Eb
Broken boy who must keep hoping
B/F#                            
Maybe one day he will figure this 
   F#
out

Or things will heal in time
     C#6
This breathing ghost that never died

      Ebminor
These bits and pieces all left over
B/F#                               
From that smiling child I used to 
F#
be

I'm cold and terrified
  C#6
I know there's warmth but I can't 
find it
