This Is The Time Ballast

Verse One Am When did we become these sinking stones C When did we build this broken home G Holding each other like ransom notes F Dropping our hearts to grip our brother's throats Prechorus Am You can't see 'cause you don't know caught beneath your own shadow C Stuck inside half-alive do we ever stop to ask ourselves why G Close your mind Identify do you think do you really call this a life F All you've waited for drowning just to keep a score Am This is the time that we let it go C And these are the words that will take you home G Singing the song that's inside us all F If we don't open our eyes we're- walking blind Verse Two Am Anchored in anger we exile ourselves C Bitter blood builds up our prison cells G Dark water slowly fills up our lungs F The darkness in our hearts blackens out the sun Prechorus Am You can't see 'cause you don't know caught beneath your own shadow C Stuck inside half-alive do we ever stop to ask ourselves why G Close your mind Identify do you think do you really call this a life F All you've waited for drowning just to keep a score Am This is the time that we let it go C And these are the words that will take you home G Singing the song that's inside us all F If we don't open our eyes we're- walking blind Am-C-G-F Am This is the time that we let it go C And this is the pain we are forced to know G Singing the song that's inside us all F If we just open our eyes Am This is the time that we let it go C And these are the words that will take you home G Singing the song that's inside us all F If we don't open our eyes we're- walking blind
