D-DU-UDU
 1st half -
 
 2nd half -
 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
