"Lunar Skin"

[Verse 1]

(E M,G,D,A)

(E M)

Cold light scratching at my bones

(G)

Silver dust in my lungs

(D)

I've been here a thousand times

(A)

Wearing different blood

(E m)

Same sky, a different name

(G)

Same wound, a different face

(D)

Moon pulls me through the dark

(A)

Back into the frame

[Pre-chorus]

(C,G,D,E M)

(C)

I dissolve, I reappear

(G)

Every life just leaves me here

(D)

Orbiting the same old fear

(E m)

I never disappear

[Chorus]

(E m,C,G,D)

(E m)

Under lunar Skin ilI change

(C)

Every death just rearranged

(G)

Falling through the same escape

(D)

Born again in silver rain

(E m)

Feel the ride on inside my viens

(C)

Wash me clean but leave the stain

(G)

I'm the ghost that time replays

(D)

Spinning in the same decay

[Verse 2]

(E m,G,D,A)

(E m)

Teeth of night, they drag me under

(G)

Cradle me in pale disorder

(D)

Every life is a quiet echo

(A)

Of the one before

(E m)

Fragments drifting in the black

(G)Memories I cant unpack

(D)

Every end just pulls me back

(A)

[Pre-chorus]

(C,G,D,E m)

(C)

I dissolve,I reappear

(G)

Every life just leaves me here

(D)

Orbiting the same old fear

(E m)

I never disappear

[Chorus]

(E m,C,G,D)

(E m)

Under lunar skin I change

(C)

Every death just rearranged

(G)

Falling through the same escape

(D)

Born again in silver rain

(Em)

Feel the tide inside my viens

(C)

Wash me clean but leave the stain

(G)

I'm the ghost that time replays

(D)

Spinning in the same decay

[Verse 3]

(E m,G,D,A)

(E m)

Now the dawn is splitting open

(G)

Every scar I own is glowing

(D)

In the light I see the faces

(A)

I was before

(E m)

All the versions ,all the failures

(G)

All the saints and all the traitors

(D)

Moon above, I feel you fade

(A)

But I'm not yours no more

[Bridge 3/4]

(A m,C,E m,B)

(A m)

Break the cycle

(C)

Crack the sky

(E m)

Kill the version

(B)

That survives

(A m)

But the moon

(C)

Keeps calling me

(E m)

Back to skin

(B)

I cannot leave

[Final chorus (heavier)]

(E m,C,G,D, let it ring, distorted )

(E m)

Under lunar skin I crawl

(C)

Every rise becomes a fall

(G)

I remember none at all

(D)

Still I answer when it calls.
