Face the sound of the bell that shines? Ring it out trim it out (Riff) To drag me back down... but I’m not coming home :::Verse::: Been out here for so long The road just stretches on Till I stop pretending Till I stop pretending But the world is an empty frame And now you are just a name I’ll keep it that way It’s staying that way :::Chorus::: How could I turn around? Face the sound of the bell that shines? Ring it out trim it out To drag me back down... but I’m not coming home :::Interlude::: (Riff) I tried hard to be brave I tried hard not to be afraid But trying wasn’t enough (Riff) I tried hard to be brave I tried hard not to be afraid But trying wasn’t enough :::Outro::: I’m sorry I’m sorry Cmaj7 is optional Can you hear the bell? Can you hear the bell? The bell the bell Can you hear the bell? Can you hear the bell? The bell the bell From the rust that lies deep in it’s throat I hear solemn monotone notes The danger the absent floors In the silence of night he lets me know (Riff) That I’m not coming home
