[E]
[A] [F#] All [F#m] the knowledge there's a hope and now they call it L.O.A. curriculum.
The vast future, more at last, is within the unforgiving, unforgiving.
The [C#] span of where the mind is missing, [F#] I have an [F#m] empty education.
I've [C#] always been going to Charlottesville [F#] because of helplessness.
[F#m]
[A] And someday I'll find my [F#m] purposeful [A] passion.
I want my [E] [F#] purposeful self to be fulfilled.
That's [F#m] all.
Shake it out, though it's shaking out without a moment's hesitation.
The burning flames inside the snapping, splitting, and some forms of acceleration.
[C#] You want to wear the way [A] they try to [F#m] lock the steel of our negation also.
You [C#] want to drink the way they try to [F#m] drip the salt of their sinking to also.
[A] Well, so is something we [F#] can't hold.
[F#m]
So [A] something of this [E] [F#m] jeopardize and fire burn alive.
You try.

[F#] [F#m] [A]

[F#m] [E] [F#]
[A] Then your trust in [F#] [F#m] life.
[A] [E] [F#] Then you [F#m] try.
I'll try.
Christ is risen.
[A] [E] Embraced in [F#m] surrender.
Christ is risen.
Embraced in surrender.
Christ is risen.
