    Which 
    hands 
    get 
    to 
    turn 

    the final 
    page? 

    In 
    whose 
    throat 
    belongs 
    the swan 
    song 

    Crisis, 
    warming, 
    denial, 
    change?

    into 

    the

    Images 
    of 
    drenched 
    survival 

    Without 
    hope 
    but 
    soaked 

    with

    Verse 3
    Glass 
    barely 
    bends 
    before 
    it crack
    s 

    Embedded 
    down 
    into 
    our path 

    Paved 
    in the 
    crimson 
    of 
    our track
    s 

    Without 
    the chance 
    of 
    turning 
    back

    Before 
    the 
    Verse 4

    Verse 5
    If the 
    clock 
    strikes 
    midnight 
    then 

    What be
    comes 
    of 
    our 

    demon
    strations? 

    To which 
    fate 
    have these 

    gatherings 
    fell? 

    Which halls 
    echo 
    all the 
    chants 
    we 
    yelled 

    Into 
    faces 
    on 
    the coins 
    we 
    tossed 

    into 
    the wishing 
    well? 

    Verse 6
    Drinking

    When 
    all 
    the 
    warning 
    signs 
    were 

    there 
    but 
    sorely 
    missed 

    What's 
    it worth 
    all the 

    money 
    we made 

    Floating 
    idly 
    in 
    a newborn 
    lake? 

    Far 
    above 
    financial 
    centers 

    Cities

    like 
    market 
    rates

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
