Felt a tremor stir
beneath my breath
That forecasts storms
on the gallup poll
Woke up
from the nightmare news
And 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 silent snow
That's only heard
from far far away
More cards in play
follow in suit
Everywhere you look
you only see red
And 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 gray 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 down
build it up again
Hear your heart
that's breaking
without choice
I want to hear
those chimes ring again
Ring again
