A A# Dm
When you see the spiral turning through alone
A A# Dm
And you feel so heavy that you just can't stop it
A A# Dm
When this sea of madness turns you into stone
A A# Dm
Picture of your life shoots like a rocket
C
All the time
[Chorus]
A# A F C Dm
Put 'me' in the equation it's alright
A# A F C Dm
I've seen you moving in and out of sight
A# A G F G
My friends tell me it's all cut through you
G F G
From nowhere
G F G
To nowhere
G F G
Cut together cutting through

I'm island-bound, a mote inside my eye
A A# Dm
I can't see you breathing as before
A A# Dm
I am airles, a vacuum child
A A# Dm
I can't stand to reason at your door

In this time
[Kembali ke Chorus]
[Bridge]
A# Dm
I'm down in the daytime out of sight
A# Dm
Comin' in from dreamland, I'm on fire

I can see it's all been here before

Dream a dream that lies right at your door
A Dm A Dm
[Verse 3]
A A# Dm
When the seasons circle sideways out of turn
A A# Dm
And words don't speak just fall across the carpet
A A# Dm
You're just in time to watch the fires burn

It seems a crime but your face is bright you love it
C
All the time
