[Verse 1]
Em              D               C
Lay the new foundations; reprise
Em          D                     C
A wave in stone to slow the sunrise
Em                D               C
And bridge the two points of view
Em                               D              C
The first asymmetries that lead to this life

[Verse 2]
Em                                      D
Strange are the things that will come around
   C
A false parousia made to weigh you down
Em                              D
When truth and lies both compromise
C
Return to the question, I'm willing to die

[Verse 3]
    Em          D
If this is real and this is anticipation
C
This is all, all I can generate
Em                         D
Protozoa spark, she's torn from the dark
   C
To be

[Verse 4]
Em           D
Mimicry of motions prime
    C
In death coerced to test your worth
Em                        D
But you survived the override
C
Above/below, free to grow

C                                                                  Em   G
Know it in your mind, hear it once and now you bear the load

[Chorus]
C
Fractals in a palm of a single tree
   D
Debase a joyous song into elegy

[Post-Chorus]
                     Em D C
Are you ready for life?
                     Em D C
Are you ready for life?

[Verse 5]
Em                         D
On all that's said you can't rely
C
A fool, the first to die for verse
Em                      D
We start again and underline
C
Make a stand in afterglow

[Instrumental]
Em G C

[Chorus]
C
Fractals in a palm of a single tree
   D
Debase a joyous song into elegy

[Post-Chorus]
                     Em D C
Are you ready for life?
                     Em D C
Are you ready for life?
