( intro )
G Bm F F
G Bm F Em

G Bm F
i miss the days my mind would just rest quiet
G Bm F Em
my imagination hadn’t turned on me yet
G Bm F
i used to let my words wax poetic
C Cm
but it melted a puddle at my feet now
G Bm F
it is a calcifying crime , it’s tragic
G Bm F Em
i’ve turned to petrified past life baggage
G Bm F
i want to disappear and just start over
C Cm
so here we are
C
and i’ll breathe again . . .

( chorus )
Em G
cause i have sent for a warrior
D
from on my knees , make me a hercules
Em G D
i was meant to be a warrior please
make me a hercules

G Bm F Em

i’ve lost a grip on where i started from
i wish i’d thought ahead and left a few crumbs
i’m on the hunt for who i’ve not yet become
but i’d settle for a little equilibrium
there is a war inside my heart gone silent
both sides dissatisfied and somewhat violent
the issue i have now begun to see
i Am the only lonely casualty

this is not the end though . . .

( chorus )

( bridge )
Am Em
this is my darkest hour
Em D
a long road has lead me out here
Am Em C Am
but i only need turn around to face the light
C D
and decide flight or fight
