Farewell to all that I knew, it’s all a puff of smoke (A-Am, G-Gm, F#m, Em-F#m, D)

The haunting melody, it captured me (D-D2, G-Gaug)
The paradoxical reality that I came to see, I was not me (D-D2, G, Bm-A7)

After I had been socialized to think this way, and not be swayed (D-B/#, Bm-A, G, G/G#)
After I had been educated, reprogrammed, I contemplated sand (D-B/#, Bm-A, G, G/G#)

I felt everything shifting beneath my feet, still asleep (Bm, A-F#, G, E7sus)
(oh, it’s no matter; oh, it’s no matter) (Bm, F#, G, E7sus)
I saw the glimmer of a tidal wave, still far away (Bm, A-F#, G, E7sus)
(oh, it’s no matter; oh, it’s no matter) (Bm, F#, G, E7sus)

I’m falling, it feels so similar to me (D-D/Db, Bm-A)
Crawling, because of the pull of the (G-A, G-A/A#)
Gravity, a fish never knows that she’s in (D-D/Db, Bm-A)
Water, but I can hear you calling (G-A, G-A/A#)

——————————————

The taunting parody, is mocking me (D-D2, G-Gaug)
The mind that judged it as calamity, I’ve come to see, he was not me (D-D2, G, Bm-A7)

After I had been socialized to play this way inside this game (D-B/#, Bm-A, G, G/G#)
After I had been educated, reprogrammed, I contemplated man (D-B/#, Bm-A, G, G/G#)

Is this everything that I am meant to see, is this “free” (Bm, A-F#, G, E7sus)
(oh, it’s no matter; oh, it’s no matter) (Bm, F#, G, E7sus)
One flaw: the swimmer and the flyer are the same, inflicting pain (Bm, A-F#, G, E7sus)
(identified with the chatter; now I’m falling off the ladder) (Bm, A-F#, G, Em)

I’m falling, it feels so similar to me (D-D/Db, Bm-A)
Crawling, because of the pull of the (G-A, G-A/A#)
Gravity, a fish never knows that she’s in (D-D/Db, Bm-A)
Water, but I can hear you calling (G-A, G-A/A#)
