[Verse]
C#m A
I lost myself into the night
C#m
And I flew higher
A
Than I had ever
C#m
But I still felt small
A
I clipped my wings and fell from flight
C#m
To open water
A
And floated farther
C#m
Away from myself
C#m E A
And I swam in the wakes of imposters
G#m C#m
Just to feel what it's like to pretend
E A
There's no dreams in the lakes only monsters
G#m C#m
And the monsters are my only friends
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m B
They're all that I was
B
And never could be
[Chorus]
C#m
Eyes in the dead still water
G#m A
Tried but it pushed back harder
A B
Cauterized and atrophied
G#m
This is my unbecoming
C#m
Knives in the backs of martyrs
G#m A
Lives in the burning fodder
A B
Cauterized and atrophied
G#m
This is my unbecoming
[Break- repeat once]
C#m C A G#m A C A G#m C#m C A G#m A C
[Verse 2]
C#m A
You found me drifted out to sea
C#m
It's automatic
A
It's telepathic
C#m
You always knew me
C#m E A
And you laugh as I search for a harbor
G#m C#m
As you point where your halo had been
C#m E A
But the light in your eyes has been squandered
A
There's no angel in you in the end
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m B
And all that I was
B
I've left behind me
[Chorus]
C#m
Eyes in the dead still water
G#m A
Tried but it pushed back harder
A B
Cauterized and atrophied
G#m
This is my unbecoming
C#m
Knives in the backs of martyrs
G#m A
Lives in the burning fodder
A B
Cauterized and atrophied
G#m
This is my unbecoming
[Bridge]
A F#m
Now I wait
C#/E#
This metamorphosis
A
All that is left is the change
F#m
Selfish fate
C#/E#
I think you made me this
C#m
Under the water I wait
[Instrumental]
C#m C#m G#m A B
[Chorus]
C#m
Eyes in the dead still water
G#m A
Tried but it pushed back harder
A B
Cauterized and atrophied
G#m
This is my unbecoming
C#m
Knives in the backs of martyrs
G#m A
Lives in the burning fodder
A B
Cauterized and atrophied
G#m
This is my unbecoming
