Felt a tremor stir beneath my breath
|
That forecasts storms on the gallup poll
|
Woke up from the nightmare news
|
Hoping to read a sign in the morning air
|
|
Nothing changes here and nothing improves
|
All say my friends who just want out
|
And leave these troubles behind
|
Scatter like paper in the eye of the storm
|
Documented with a silenced note
|
That's only heard from far, far away
|
|
More cards in play, following suit
|
Everywhere you look, you only see red
|
Wonder when to call off the race
|
Watching a horse running down its last legs
|
Just when you think it couldn't get much worse
|
Watch the numbers rise on the death toll
|
And the chimes of freedom flash and fade
|
Only heard from far, far away
|
|
I hear you can't trust in your own
|
Now the grey is broken in the early morn
|
And the words forming barely have a voice
|
It's just your heart that's breaking without choice
|
|
Everything you've learned is distorted in your head
|
Bouncing off the walls, unraveling the thread
|
Staying up with the blue screen glow
|
Forgetting everything you ever dreamed years ago
|
|
When the dread is flowing down my veins
|
I want to tear it all down and build it up again
|
Tear it all and build it up again
|
Hear your heart that's breaking without choice
|
I want to hear those chimes ring again
|
Ring again
|
