When The Flies Fell

G You seem to recognize my face G Em But my hands feel like somebody else's G I blanked last night when you told me Em G I blanked last night when you told me twice I blanked last night when you told me Em I blanked last night when you told me twice G You cut your hair off with a blade G Em Didn't want a single trace, that poor girl G The water couldn't get you clean G Em So you burned your skin instead with the curl (You live in your hell) G I watched an angel cut the sky G Feathers plucked from flight (Just to torture yourself) G And she sunk right through the ground G From colossal heights (Tell me, what could I do?) G When she cried out for my name G I didn't hesitate (The moment when the flies fell) G I screamed, "I cannot be your saint Em I know you can't be saved" G I blanked last night when you told me Em G I blanked last night when you told me twice I blanked last night when you told me Em I blanked last night when you told me twi— G I blanked last night when you told me Em G I blanked last night when you told me twice I blanked last night when you told me Em I blanked last night when you told me twice
