Am F
the fall within this hole
Dm C
my eyes are blind yet i see
Am F
lifeless and dark
Dm C
no need to feel or be

Am F
mourned the passing of myself
Dm C
i saw today
Am F
all that i once held
Dm C
i watch it fall away

Dm F
nothing left to say
C Dm
the broken pieces
F
that fill this shallow grave

Am F
( quick vocal break )

Dm C
buried and left alone
Am F Dm C
i find myself empty and withdrawn

Am F
mourned the passing of myself
Dm C
i saw today
Am F
all that i once held
Dm C
i watch it fall away

Dm F
nothing left to say
C Dm
the broken pieces
F
that fill this shallow grave

Am F
the walls cave and the end begins
Dm C
as it all comes crashing down , yeah
Am F
i hear a voice , i know too well
Dm C Am
it comes to me and pulls me down
C Am
it pulls me down

violin solo ( vibrato every sustained note )
