Earth Sleeping at Last
I dig 'til my shove[Bm]l tells a secret,
Sw[G]ear to the earth that I will keep it,
B[A]rush off the dirt
And let my ch[Bm]ange of heart occur.
S[Bm]old soon after the appraisal,
The ha[G]mmer struck the auction table
L[A]ouder than anything I've ever h[Bm]eard.
F[G]ault lines tremble underneath my gl[A]ass house.
But I put it out of [G]my mind
Long enough to call it c[A]ourage
To live without a l[G]ifeline.
I bend the definition
[A]Of faith to exonerate my bl[G]ind eye.
'Til the sirens sound,[A] I'm safe.
[Bm]Meanwhile, my family's taking shelter.
The sp[G]arks send the fire down the wire,
A c[A]ountdown begins,
Until the d[Bm]ynamite gives in.
The e[Bm]cho, as wide as the equator,
[G]Travels through a world of built up a[A]nger-
Too late to pull itself together [Bm]now.
--- G - A ---
Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house.
But I put it out of my mind
Long enough to call it courage
To live without a lifeline.
I bend the definition
Of faith to exonerate my blind eye.
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.
