Verse:
 
B (x2444x@1)
Born inside the gates of the family
F#Hardened (244322@1)by a Roman machinery
ECast (022100@1)among the building sites
Abm (133111@4)                             F#The (244322@1)coiling wires, the shots collected

BCalled (x2444x@1)out in the wake of a lottery
F#Held (244322@1)inside the family gathering
EMirrored (022100@1)beams and doglike stretch
Abm (133111@4)                       F#The (244322@1)wandering association

Chorus:
E (022100@1)                         Abm (133111@4)      F#Murmurs (244322@1)in the dark confessional
E (022100@1)                               Abm (133111@4)                F#And (244322@1)it rides along the road, ephemeral
                BAs (x2444x@1)in animal life

Verse:
Rusting in the shade of the batteries
Hanging from a rope in the gallery
Pacing down the balance beam of half-remembered holidays

No rush of light, no sign of belonging
No joy in building, love in the finishing
Chasing down an anodyne and half-reflected radiance

Chorus:
To hide below the ancient barricade
In chambers like the rooms a swallow made
For an animal life

Insturmental: intro chords x2

Verse:
Charging down the maw of the ocean
I wanna come close, I wanna come closer
I held your name inside my mouth through all the days of wandering

BBut (x2444x@1)called out from the mouth of oblivion
ACast (x02220@1)away like dogs from the shelter
  EI (022100@1)shed the dulling armor plates
        Abm (133111@4)                  F#That (244322@1)once collected radiance

Chorus:
And surging at the blood's perimeter
The half-remembered wild interior
Of an animal life
