Em C G D
the rope that’s wrapped around me is cutting through my skin

D Dsus4 Em C G D
angels would fall .

Em C G D
i’ve crept into your temple , i have slept upon your pew .
Em C G D
i have dreamed of the divinity inside and out of you .
Em C G D
i want it more than truth . i can taste it on my breath .
Em C G D
i would give my life for a little , a little death .
