(intro)
G  Bm  F  F
G  Bm  F  Em

G              Bm                            F             I miss the days my mind would just rest quiet
G               Bm               F                  EmMy imagination hadn't turned on me yet
G            Bm                   F        I used to let my words wax poetic
C                       CmBut it melted a puddle at my feet now
G         Bm         F               It is a calcifying crime, it's tragic
G                    Bm          F                  EmI've turned to petrified past life baggage
G             Bm            F                   I want to disappear and just start over
C                CmSo here we are
CAnd I'll breathe again...

(chorus)
Em                            GCause I have sent for a warrior
D                              From on my knees, make me a Hercules
Em                    G                DI was meant to be a warrior please
Make me a Hercules

G  Bm  F  Em

I've lost a grip on where I started from
I wish I'd thought ahead and left a few crumbs
I'm on the hunt for who I've not yet become
But I'd settle for a little equilibrium
There is a war inside my heart gone silent
Both sides dissatisfied and somewhat violent
The issue I have now begun to see
I am the only lonely casualty

This is not the end though...

(chorus)

(bridge)
Am           EmThis is my darkest hour
Em                      DA long road has lead me out here
Am                   Em                    C            AmBut I only need turn around to face the light
C            DAnd decide flight or fight
