Intro
Cm
Verse 1
Cm                                                  Gb7
The silence dominates, divining resolutions from my hands
F                  Cm
Lines drawn in the sand
Cm                                                               Gb7
But my volition's wry, my temperance twisted, faced with failing light
F              Cm
Nothing in my sight
Chorus 1
     Db     Ab     Db            Db      Ab     Db
If I fall into the ocean, send my soul into the sea
              Cm               Db         C7             Fm
Will these reflections trouble me? Will I dream my final dream?

Cm                                                           Gb7
  I sensed this silhouette who's standing vigil growing very sore
F               Cm
Just one moment more
Cm                                                        Gb7
Before I close the curtain, fate uncertain; spirit to the dark
F           Cm
Endlessly apart
Chorus 2
      Db     Ab     Db           Db       Ab      Db
Can I fall into the ocean, send my soul into the sea?
           Cm              Db             Cm             Db
No distant echoes haunting me, no further phantoms will I see

This silence held eternally

Bridge
    Ab                     Bb            Eb              Ab
But what if the silence is broken by the ones you've loved
                           Bb                 Eb       Ab
Incredibly present, with a heavenly breath to wake you up
                        Bb                   Eb        Ab
With nothing left to poison, a portrait of who I've become
                      Bb                      Fm          Eb    Bbm7  Fm7
Only elation remains, protecting us from this neverending night
[The Moon reprise]
Eb Bbm7 Fm7 (x2)
Eb
Dear apparition, while my senses last
Bbm7
Is absolution far too much to ask?
Fm7
  Will you forgive a truly troubled past?
    Ab                               Cm
The silver lining still remains, the sights I've left to see
   B7
So trust that with this end, a new beginning's waiting patiently
