Radical Face - Holy Branches: chords

              Fm
When you were young
                 G#
You'd bite your tongue
D#                              A#
Calm, always did what you were told
               Fm
Never ran your mouth
              G#
Lived life on tiptoes
D#                     A#
Only felt peace if by yourself
                     C#
When mistakes don't count
          Fm            D#
There's a hole in your chest
                            C#
From the time that you were born
One that don't get filled
                      Fm                        D#
'cause you've always known you're nothin' they want

Chorus:
                Fm              A#    C#
But everybody's bones are just holy branches
           D#                            Fm
Cast from trees to cut patterns into the world
        A#                C#
And in time we find some shelter
           D#                          C#
Spill our leaves and then sleep in the Earth
                C#
And when we're there we'll belong
            D#                                Fm
'cause the Earth don't give a damn if you're lost

Now I live alone
Work in the belly of machines
Wring my soot-black hands
And I don't sleep much
Days don't feel different
From the nights
With no goals in mind

There's a hole in my chest
From the time I walked away
One I fill with sweat
So now I know I'm nothing they want

Chorus:
But everybody's bones are just holy branches
Ride the breeze to cut patterns in the leaves
And in time we find some shelter
Spill our seeds and then wait for our turns

But for now we're adrift on the waves of discontent
Trying to carve our place
All in hopes we'll be something they want
But I ain't holding my breath

Trace your fingers down my spine
Make your home behind my eyes
Line my skull with harmless lies
I'll bide my time until I'm something they want
