D 
It  (D major) happened
when the pleasure dried
And the summer left a storm
Where the seeds of discontent reside
And the darkest days are born

Verse 2

I was withered, worn, and

wonderless

So waste in many ways

Deformation days

Verse 3
D 
 (D major) 
Beyond the hours I walk upon
Behind the minutes chime
Beneath the stones I stumble on
Before the cusp of time

Verse 4

I saw her gesture to the sky

And weep where her widow lay

Deformation days

Verse 5
D 
 (D major) 
I was little more than food for thought
And hungrier than hell
But I would fill the empty spaces
Because silence knew me well

Verse 6

But I can still be swallowed up

By what that goddess says, oh

Deformation days

Verse 7
D 
 (D major) 
I saw the light cascade down
And settle by the bush
And my innocence was jeopardized
Every time I'd take a look

Verse 8

But seeing is a virtue

Despite the view that

some display

Deformation days

Verse 9
D 
 (D major) 
I was burdened with a crucifix
Cold shouldered by the king
I was told he'd shed a tear for me
But that don't mean a thing

Verse 10

If I have to carry all this weight

And keep the wilderness at bay

Deformation days

Verse 11
D 
 (D major) 
So when the drifters ask me now
What then should I tell?
I'm frozen from the rib cage in
I was lifeless for a spell

Verse 12

And I can't take a block of ice

And pass it off as clay, no

Deformation days

Verse 13
D 
 (D major) 
I was inhaling warfare
Exhaling higher crimes
But destruction and obsession
Mean progression down the line

Verse 14

And I've been torn apart more times

Than I care to say, oh

Deformation days

Verse 15
D 
 (D major) 
As I lay wounded on the road
Where the beasts divide their kill
It occurred to me the rate at which
We exchange life for a meal

Verse 16

And the earth is hungrier than I

And I'm lower down the chain,

Deformation days

Verse 17
D 
 (D major) 
I sit amongst the leaders now
The lepers and the crooks
And silence hangs as money talks
Its tongue stifled by a hook

Verse 18

Because you're only ever as rich

As the wealth you have to say

Deformation days

Verse 19
D 
 (D major) 
I saw her burn down the house
And turn my sons to flame
She disappeared soon after that
And left me in this broken way

Verse 20

But if I do see her again

I'd still ask her to stay, oh

Deformation days

Verse 21
D 
 (D major) 
She was my shepherd, love, and guide
The answer when I'd pray
She'd hold me up
And breaking was the price
she had to pay

Verse 22
D 
But the gods tell me to carry  (D major) on
That she'll return to me someday, oh
