Verse:
C# minorC#m          A augmentedA
I lost myself into the night
      C# minorC#m
And I flew higher
      A augmentedA
Than I had ever
          C# minorC#m
But I still felt small
                 A augmentedA
I clipped my wings and fell from flight
    C# minorC#m
To open water
      A augmentedA
And floated farther
       C# minorC#m
Away from myself
C# minorC#m        E MajorE     A augmentedA
And I swam in the wakes of imposters
            G# minorG#m   C# minorC#m
Just to feel what it's like to pretend
             E MajorE      A augmentedA
There's no dreams in the lakes only monsters
           G# minorG#m   C# minorC#m
And the monsters are my only friends


Pre-Chorus:
C# minorC#m          BB
They're all that I was
BB
And never could be


Chorus:
C# minorC#m
Eyes in the dead still water
G# minorG#m               A augmentedA
Tried but it pushed back harder
A augmentedA            BB
Cauterized and atrophied
      G# minorG#m
This is my unbecoming
C# minorC#m
Knives in the backs of martyrs
G# minorG#m             A augmentedA
Lives in the burning fodder
A augmentedA            BB
Cauterized and atrophied
      G# minorG#m
This is my unbecoming

Verse 2:
C# minorC#m             A augmentedA
You found me drifted out to sea
     C# minorC#m
It's automatic
     A augmentedA
It's telepathic
          C# minorC#m
You always knew me
C# minorC#m         E MajorE      A augmentedA
And you laugh as I search for a harbor
            G# minorG#m     C# minorC#m
As you point where your halo had been
C# minorC#m          E MajorE       A augmentedA
But the light in your eyes has been squandered
A augmentedA
There's no angel in you in the end


Pre-Chorus:
C# minorC#m        BB
And all that I was
BB
I've left behind me


Chorus:
C# minorC#m
Eyes in the dead still water
G# minorG#m               A augmentedA
Tried but it pushed back harder
A augmentedA            BB
Cauterized and atrophied
      G# minorG#m
This is my unbecoming
C# minorC#m
Knives in the backs of martyrs
G# minorG#m             A augmentedA
Lives in the burning fodder
A augmentedA            BB
Cauterized and atrophied
      G# minorG#m
This is my unbecoming


Bridge:
A augmentedA   F# minorF#m
Now I wait
     C#/E#
This metamorphosis
            A augmentedA
All that is left is the change
    F# minorF#m
Selfish fate
      C#/E#
I think you made me this
         C# minorC#m
Under the water I wait


Instrumental:
C# minorC#m  C# minorC#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA BB


Chorus:
C# minorC#m
Eyes in the dead still water
G# minorG#m               A augmentedA
Tried but it pushed back harder
A augmentedA            BB
Cauterized and atrophied
      G# minorG#m
This is my unbecoming
C# minorC#m
Knives in the backs of martyrs
G# minorG#m             A augmentedA
Lives in the burning fodder
A augmentedA            BB
Cauterized and atrophied
      G# minorG#m
This is my unbecoming
