This Armistice

[Intro] E  A  D  G  B  E


Am
   Your gross fabrication of pretense could bore
                        G
Yet still I fall victim to syntax omitted
                                     Am
Just shy of something I could understand
                     G
So blissful, I press on to the sound of the organs
                               Am
Playing their most convincing tunes

As they serenade to the parade of paid-off parts

Am
And now the only thing left to discuss is
C
The details of this armistice
Em                        G/B
We've come to this agreement

Am
Check my vitals

The truth is vile, but vital to this cause
C
I've been held hostage

A captive of this passive shell
G
Give me gravity, give me clarity

Give me something to rely on

Em
We're all puppets
C/G
We're all marionettes

Am
  These body parts are parts of plans

Passed by my hands
           G
My hands shake through handshakes

Forsaken by my limbs
                   Am
My limbs sing the hymns; The hymns of a tyrant
                    G
In a crumbling pantheon

As inhabitants will raise their fists and bid him to disarm

Em
We're all puppets
C/G
We're all marionettes

C
Oh, how I've been teething

In light of your misleading
Am
You've caused this collapse
G
Between the heart and the synaps
