Ragon Linde - Violence

	  		
verse 1 
Gm7 
Gray petals of bombs fall on us 
Gm7    F    D  C#  C    Bb G 
crack the body’s puzzle. 
Gm7 
We know how it bends to metal’s will 
Gm7 
how it forgets 
Gm7 
the meaning it carries, 
Gm7 
when broken. 
                                    Dm7  Cm7 
Some say the meaning goes away. 

Am7 
I want to see it. 
Am7 
Burned eyes are petals 
Am7 
from a black rose 
Am7 
we love and fear 
                   Em7    Dm7 
even in our dreams. 
                    Cm7 
And you dream too, 

Instrumental 
Gm7 

verse 2 
Gm7 
we’ve seen your eyes rush under lids 
Gm7 F    D       C#    C G    Bb  G 
at    the checkpoint of subconscious, 
Gm7 
burn through stolen scenes, 
Gm7 
what others felt 
Gm7 
when bombs fell. If petals 
                     Dm7  Cm7 
are made of ash, 

Am7 
what can we know about the flower, 
Am7 
its smell, 
Am7 
its proud posture, 
Am7 
it’s shortmlived optimism? 
Em7                                   Dm7 
Some say the meaning comes later 
Em7                          Dm7            Cm7 
I want to see it. As you learn, your end, 
                                   Gm7 
See the body’s ironic puzzle, 
      Am7 
its checkpoint, 
                       Bb 
its unanswered question – 
       C            D 
you realize it too: 

Gm7 
nothing is firm here, not even the harm we do 
                            Eb 
nor how we carry and strangle, 
               F                                  Gm7    F 
and fail to strangle the meaning of you. 
                    Gm7    F 
the meaning of you 
                       Eb    F 
the meaning of you
