E

[Verse 1]
E A
we are, we are jesus and we are satan
E
we gave them bodies and we gave them faces
A
we are their potter, still making changes
E A
we are 10,000 dead in a war that was won
E
we are the father, spirit, and the smoking gun
A
we are the future that will repeat what we've done
E A
we are a mother with a bag over her head
E
and the father in the cold with a drink in his hands
A
we got a divorce that never found it's end
E A
we are a pill that fell down a throat
E
a silent specter that hides in old homes
A
we are the closet monster waiting till the child's alone
E A
we are, we are the wind and we are the sand
E
we shift and change until we become with the land
A
we are brush in the painter's hand
E A
we are comic book heroes oh the strong the brave
E
lost in a world where we're the ones to save the day
A
with our masks off we got no place to stay
E A
we are, we are X's and we are Y's
E
we are breast cancer and the clock that tells time
A
we are the carbon and the dust that binds
E A
we are, we are love and we are hate
E
we are war, poverty, and rape
A
we are the apple from the tree that eve ate

[Bridge]
E
we are heroes with a thousand faces (2x)
E

[Verse 2]
E A
we are the face of god, but we made it ourselves
E
it's made of plastic, so please don't ever tell
A
we gave light to heaven, and fire to hell
E A
we are, we are lovers in a falling building
E
and the promise of a diamond wedding ring
A
we are artists with dirt in our hands
E A
we are, we are each other and one day we'll find
E
that love is real, then maybe we are all alive
A
til' the clock finds the end of time
E A
this is how it begins and how it ends
E
just hold each moment as you pull on the minute hand
A
and think about everyone you've ever met
