🎸 Verse 1:
Em
Post-sacrifice, I am stemming the blood flow
C
Hammer in hand; desperate to grow
Em
In order to evolve, I made a chopping block a home and I
C

Gouged away at myself until I hit a bone
Em                G                 C
I'm chiseling until there's nothing left
Em                     G                    C
Nobody could hurt me the way that I've hurt myself


🎸 Chorus:
Em                       G                       C
      Well, I'm breaking myself down to dust again
Em                       G                  C
Trying my best to make a masterpiece in the end
               Em                           G
Cos there's an angel in the marble that I'm trying to set free
C                                                Em
Chopping and hacking to get to the best parts of me
             G                  C
Destroy to create; who would've known?
                        Em
There's a sacrifice for growth


🎸 Verse 2:
C          Em
           Fill me with wax, and then colour me gold
C
Look at my scars. They're beautiful
     Em
They held me together when I wanted to let go
      C
I'm a kintsugi sculpture and I need it to be known

Em                G                 C
I'm chiseling until there's nothing left
Em                     G                    C
Nobody could hurt me the way that I've hurt myself


🎸 Chorus:
Em                       G                       C
      Well, I'm breaking myself down to dust again
Em                       G                  C
Trying my best to make a masterpiece in the end
               Em                           G
Cos there's an angel in the marble that I'm trying to set free
C                                                Em
Chopping and hacking to get to the best parts of me
             G                  C
Destroy to create; who would've known?
                        C
There's a sacrifice for growth
                        G
There's a sacrifice for growth
