A
Whenever I drift by the unknown
Feign like I notice a fundamental tone
The fine petals open and close offended
Poor explanation and nothing shown

Chorus:
D
Kind of like if a friend exits without a sign
Amaj7
Glimmering like a precious stone
 D
Maybe we shared a dream for 20 nights in a row
E                                        A
I might feel better knowing that I was alone

Wherever scientists turn lead to birds
Torment ignites essence, delights from the earth
What you find shocking, they find amusing
Something else to soften a sadistic urge

Am                       Adim
When they tell you the extent of the vice
         A#maj7-5                   A
Then the prime time mission is to choke
the statistician
     Am                          Adim
And like the senses that you're lurking behind
         A#maj7-5                     A
While it gnaws right through to your core
                 Am
Oh I'd twist it more

Chorus:
D
If you think that you're free (Free like a kite)
Watching as it flies by (Spy the unknown)
Amaj7
Focus on the quiet oars
D
Tell me how far you'd go (Go where you like)
Knowing your air won't last (Last one to know)
E                     Cmaj7-5       E
Would you feel better holding the stars up

What if the beast escapes (apes have it good)
And separates like a cloud (loud like a fault)
Seeps into the hollow bones
Wouldn't its eyes expand and zero in like a scope
I might feel better knowing I wasn't alone
