Go to the room with the chair and wait for your life

Scared that the voices i hear may never be mine

You knew such happiness crashing her loveliness one wedded fall

B A
Now the more i get connected
A/Ab E
The less i know who i am
F# B (fade)
And it feels like i'm the only one
Verse 2 (same as first)
The month has gone rabbits the winter is taking my life
Am i a passenger passing through scenes in someone else's life
Cold will outlast me apartments are castles in space
Warm with the void holding court in a four poster grave
Chorus (same as first)
Pale new dawn put something on
I hate the shape of things to come
Now the more we get connected
The less i know who you are
I don't think you thought that far
