Verse 1:
C         Em         D       Em     Am
I used to think that memories were like pollen
C       Em              D A
I would breathe them in
C              Em           D      Am
And they would stick to the walls of my nose
C              Em            Am
And congest my amygdala with visions of everything
C                    Em
But oh, it's not so simple, is it?
D         Am                          C
When the fog comes rolling in, please know
         Em7
I didn't desert you
   A                                      C     Em
I saved you from seeing the pain of the blinded
D       A                          C    Em    A
Can you hear the cries of the blinded?

Chorus:
C   D      G   D     C
Alexandria burning
    D    G    D      C
This is genocide
         D         G         D
You have taken our yearning, countrymen
    C           D        G       D
And set forth a pyre of innocеnt lives

C       D             G    D     C
Do you feel the earth turning
      D       G               D
What havе you done? Oh, God, oh, sin
C      D        G              D
Fetishising the fruits of our knowledge
   C       D         G      D
Leaving us with the ashes to begin again

C Em D A X2

Verse 2:
C       Em               D            Am
I'm so young and there's so little I know
C           Em        D      Am
Harmonising models of cherry soda
C                       Em        D         A
Clicking in rhythm with circadian footfalls
C                  Em                 D
Cycling through an endless pattern of who I could be
   Am
If I just stopped falling
C                       D
Spring comes to where I am
       G           D        C
And I know I'm not getting anywhere
                                 D
Droplets of moisture begging for rebirth
              G    D   C
Let this be a sign unto you, oh you, oh you, oh you

Chorus:
     D     G   D    C
Alexandria burning
D       G    D
This amicicide
C        D        G          D
You have met your potential, countrymen
   C        D          G            D
In cowardly panic, and cast them aside

C       D               G       D  C
Do you find what you're missing?
D         G         D
Does that matchbook know your sins?
C     D              G         D
Expediting your self-inflicted punishments
    C           D         G       D
And leaving you with the ashes to begin again

Interlude: C  D  G D C

Outro:
C            D
In my dreams they will wait for me
G                              D                   C
They will let me bask like a lizard on a rock in bed
                             C
And I will walk through the fire, hand in hand
          D
With the kid who used to aboard pockets of lichen crystals
                G                       D                                      
In hopes that one day, in the reflection of one of the fractals he would find a
C
future for himself
C              D            G
And it will be beautiful
           D       C
It will be so xxxxxxx beautiful
