Verse 1:
B Bmaj7
I can feel it on my tongue
B
Brick and mortar thick as scripture
B G#m D#m F#
Drawing lines in the sand and laying borders as tall as towers
B B
I babble on until my voice is gone
Verse 2:
B Bmaj7 B
This hill I'll die on is about 90 meters of bricks
B G#m D#m
Colored indigo, inscribed with my name, and lined with cedar
F# B
But the words fall flat like cymbals crashing
B F#
Like molars gnashing
Chorus:
F# B
'Cause like constellations a million years away
G#m C# B
Every good intention, every good intention
B F# B
Is interpolation, a line we drew in the array
G#m
Looking for the faces
G#m
Looking for the shapes in the silence

Verse 3:
B B B
All that's left for me to climb to the heavens is the chasm of the night
B C#
And a matter of time
F#
But I hear the rumble
F#
As the tectonic plates start to shake
B B C# F#
And I feel my blood pounding like the beat of a drum
Chorus:
F# B
'Cause like constellations a million years away
G#m C# B
Every good intention, every good intention
B F# B
Is interpolation, a line we drew in the array
G#m
Clinging to the faces
G#m
Clinging to the shapes in the silence

Chorus:
F# Bmaj7
Like constellations imploding in the night
G#m
Everything is turning, everything is turning
F# B
And the shapes that you drew may change beneath a different light
G#m F#
And everything you thought you knew will fall apart, but you'll be all right
