    Am               F
The fall within this hole
  Dm                   C
My eyes are blind yet I see
Am           F
Lifeless and dark
   Dm              C
No need to feel or be

            Am           F
Mourned the passing of myself
Dm            C
      I saw today
Am              F
All that I once held
   Dm            C
I watch it fall away

Dm      F
Nothing left to say
C             Dm
The broken pieces
     F
That fill this shallow grave


Am       F
(quick vocal Break)


Dm               C
Buried and left alone
  Am     F    Dm            C
I find myself empty and withdrawn

            Am           F
Mourned the passing of myself
Dm            C
      I saw today
Am              F
All that I once held
  Dm             C
I watch it fall away

Dm      F
Nothing left to say
C             Dm
The broken pieces
     F
That fill this shallow grave

Am                          F
The walls cave and the end begins
      Dm                 C
As it all comes crashing down, yeah
Am                     F
     I hear a voice, I know too well
   Dm              C        Am
It comes to me and pulls me down
   C        Am
It pulls me down
