Aerials

You learn this in five minutes.

Life is a waterfall,
We're one in the river
And one again after the fall 

Barred chord on 
8; all in 
dropped C-Tuning.
3,0,0
2,0,0
0,0,0
Aerials in the sky
When you lose small mind
You free your life

Oh God, wrong chord! Move
your hand to the
7,  
                         there you go. 
The scream comes.
Scream. 
Turn up the volume. 
Fingers start bleeding. 
Back to 
3,0,0
2,0,0
0,0,0 again.
Play it over and over. 
Let your mind wander. 
Turn the LED lights around your room to
red. Close
your door.
Lose yourself in the music & just
forget the problems of this world. 

The song ends,
                          ringing in your ears as
                                                                the guitar's strings
                                                                                                stop vibrating. 
Do it again.

    the leaves are turning the color of your eyes again 

    as they fall to the ground i take care not to step on them 

    break their fragile spines, crack their delicate skin
