So cold outside I can hardly breath
February’s shivering
When I close my eyes, she’s all I see
Smiling softly
The frost has found a firmer ground
The sound of silence so resounds
But every dawn that rolls along
Brings with it it’s own song

Well I think I was a character
In a book that I had written
Friends and family gave input
I nodded and I listened
Now I’ve scratched out all the lines
Where I said this is who I’ll be
Lead-chained and leather-bound
My curiosity led me down a different hallway
And through a different door
Where I found myself in silence
I was sleeping on the floor
Now I’m less afraid of darkness
I’m less afraid of time
I am less afraid of being loved
Less afraid of my mind
Emin Emin/F# Emin/G
Bmin A
The night has chased away the day
The light has faded and decayed
Snow has redefined the lines
That I had drawn inside my mind
Frozen hopes and shattered dreams
Leave me cracking at the seams
But while my barren branches bend
Soon the winter will relent
A Bmin A D
A Bmin A G
And we get scared in search of love
So we build walls around our hearts
But broken glass and concrete blocks
Will only ever keep us prisoner
Melt mortar with your passion
Break bricks because you can
When you stand and scream “Eureka”
It’s never something that you plan
See, studying variables speaks volumes
The only constant is yourself
Seek your answers in the close
Pull old questions from the shelf
Hold on to the moment you found music
Hold on to the wonder of a first kiss
Hold on to the loneliness and peace
In all those kisses that you missed
Hold on to the hammer at the wall
Hold on, we were tearing all the bricks down
Hold on to the pieces as they fall
Hold on, my love it won’t be long now

There is a place beneath the hills
Where bones are chilled and breath is stilled
Once was a temple to a god that we all worshipped
And then killed
Cmin Ab Eb
We thought we needed to know why
Cmin Ab Eb Bb Cmin
Some things just are while others live and die
Cmin Ab Eb
We looked beyond the naked eye
We measured mass and metered matter
Bb
There was nothing we’d not try
Cmin Ab Eb Bb
And once our faith was gone
Science been proven wrong
Our common sense was torn to shreds
Without belief there’s nothing left
And all the things we made
They turned to rust and dust, decayed
Our ways of life were done and gone
And all we’d left were speech and song
Cmin Ab Eb (x3)
Bb
So in that bunker underground
We challenged light and bested sound
We penned the holy book of physics
That would bring the answers ‘round
But when the numbers were revealed
The missing piece was still concealed
We couldn’t prove that even proof itself was proven
We repealed
Cmin Ab Eb Bb
(Chorus)
Cmin Gmin Bb
Then like the autumn it all changed
With all our theories now estranged
Cmin Gmin Ab
Who would have guessed that just our trust
Bb
Had kept those molecules arranged
Cmin Ab Eb Bb
With all we knew now shattered
We found the things that mattered
And started fresh all filled with hope
Ab Eb Bb (repeats)
Ab Eb Bb
Cmin Ab Eb

Underneath the apple trees
In the breeze
That’s where I want to be
Underneath the apple trees
In the breeze
Won’t you take me please
