E           G
I fell from Heaven
     E               G
Head heavy with this message
    E             G
The flesh is your reference
    E           G     E  G  E  G  E  G  E  G
For knowing the soul
E              G
When I was the leaven
    E                G
The yeast they steep the bread in
  E                G
What I said I meant as the sediment
   E                G
In bowls of swollen dough don't I know

[Pre-Chorus]
Am         Em         F            C
Old as you are all you ever do is wander
Am          Em             F           C
You'll come around someday soon you'll see

[Chorus]
Am    Em
Apoptosis
F             C
You're always ending
Am          Em   F     C
Life in the body is an intention
Am           Em          F            C
All that you know in the instance
Am             Em        F            C
Is lost in the waves of existence

[Bridge]
Am    Em    F            C
Lacerations sufficiently deep
   Am         Em      F           C
My body still wears a scar in the knee
            Am       Em    F        C
So when you live off every scrap of yourself
     Am        Em         F        C
Take solace in knowing as somebody else
       Am        Em        F      C
Though time will tear our bodies off
     Am         Em       F      C
The you that I knew will not be forgot
       Am       Em          F      C
No the you that I knew will not be lost

[Chorus]
Am    Em
Apoptosis
F             C
You're always ending
Am          Em   F     C
Life in the body is an intention
Am           Em          F            C
All that you know in the instance
Am             Em        F            C
Is lost in the waves of existence
Am        Em
You are a current
F         C
You are a tide
Am         Em
And of the contents
F           C
The tenuousness of life
Am           Em
All that you wait on
F            C
All that you long for
Am        Em
When you attain it
F              C
You will be no more
