Surmounted

by Dylan Hart

(Verse)

C                                  E

You hold up the axe

As the Axe weighs you down

And you weigh down the axe

Onto the ground.

Courage is what you lack

To give up, to attack

The shell thats on your back

Shows four big cracks

The inside became the outside

And the outside became the inside

And the world flailed around

On its left side

The keys on the board

Dont unlock any doors

Or unlock any drawers

Or what is yours.

(Chorus)

Am, E, Am, G

Was that a shadow?

What was that in the meadow?

What is that, a shadow?

What was that in the meadow?

Who is that, that fellow

Comes and hides in the Shallow

What was that in the window?

Skulking about in the Meadow

(Verse)

And when youre on all fours

Like a beast and nothing more

Where the hills meet the shore

Its probable cause.

The Pawn took the King

With the Queen by his side

And the newspapers read

It was suicide.

And the Queen took the rest

As the Pawn stole the nest

All the hands point to west

His jealousy stands stretched.

And now hes got the axe

But the axe weighs him down

But he'll weigh down the axe

Onto the ground

(Chorus)

Am, E, Am, G

Was that a shadow?

What was that in the meadow?

What is that, a shadow?

What was that in the meadow?

Who is that, that fellow

Comes and hides in the Shallow

What was that in the window?

Skulking about in the Meadow
