[Chorus] [Chorus sung through Static in Radio Microphone} Wish my dreams would take me Far away from these things that make me Feel these empty Spaces where I strain to breathe [Instrumental] [Intro] [steel-string acoustic guitar enters with percussive palm mutes and low-register accents] [Main Theme] [strummed G major and C major chord variations] [percussive string slaps on beats 2 and 4] [syncopated bass note walk-downs] [Verse 1] You don't know what goes through my head But I'll try to explain the best way I can From behind these broken eyes What created this empty man In between the realm of the grey where reality fades away And things seem displaced and far from everything changed How strange, Oh How these things carry so much weight [Pre-Chorus] So Heavy From being ready to meet the grip of the reaper's blade [Chorus] [Chorus sung through Static in Radio Microphone} I wish my dreams would take me Far away from these things that make me Feel these empty Spaces where I strain to breathe [Cello Lead] [Bridge Section] [shift to minor chords, Em and Am] [increased strumming intensity with rapid sixteenth-note flourishes] [Guitar Lead] [Outro] [decelerating tempo] [final percussive slap followed by a sustained G major chord ring-out] [Bagpipe lead] [Verse 2] When it feels like I'm suffocating deep inside In between these lines where it's getting hard to find The right kind of release before I lose my mind Lost in the grip of time Not now, not when I'm so ready to break I'm at the the point of beyond what it takes I've wished and prayed, But God, He makes me wait For something that's so hard to explain [Pre-Chorus] So Heavy From being ready to meet the grip of the reaper's blade [Chorus] [Chorus sung through Static in Radio Microphone} I wish my dreams would take me Far away from these things that make me Feel these empty Spaces where I strain to breathe [Pre-Chorus] So Heavy From being ready to meet the grip of the reaper's blade [Chorus] [Chorus sung through Static in Radio Microphone} I wish my dreams would take me Far away from these things that make me Feel these empty Spaces where I strain to breathe It wasn't my plan on how it all ended It left me in a state of pretending it never really happened [Fade with bagpipes in outro]
