    Verse 1
    The 

    hour 
    is out 
    of joint 

    Black 
    sun 
    has 
    risen 

    And the 
    river 
    of words 

    Is 
    flowing 
    on 
    through 

    The cages 
    of 
    tradition 

    And they're 
    handing 
    out 
    emptiness 

    We'll 
    take 
    it 
    'cause 
    it's 
    given 

    Free 
    with this 
    plastic 
    innocence 


    And these standards 
    of living 

    Verse 2

    Questions 
    lighted 
    questions 

    Burnin' 
    holes 
    into my 
    head 

    Hanging like 
    shadows 
    o'er the 
    sun 

    Staring 
    out 
    like the 
    eyes 
    of the 
    dead 

    And 
    sometimes 
    my soul 
    flickers 

    When the 
    wind 
    of change 
    blows 
    cold 

    Over the 
    mire 
    of repetition 

    Down 
    the cor
    ridors 
    of rigmarole 

    Verse 3
    What 
    I say, 
    what I think 

    What 
    I put 
    down 
    in ink 

    I'm 
    only 
    try
    ing 
    to find 
    a way 
    to 

    understand 

    And I mean 
    no 
    harm 

    I'm just searching 
    for calm 

    In the storm 
    of mankind 

    Verse 4
    Do you 
    find 
    it there 

    In the sea 
    of faces 

    That 
    drowns 
    you 
    everyday 

    Or in the silence 
    and rubble 

    and 
    empty 
    spaces 

    Where 
    children 
    and 
    rottweilers play 

    Is it 
    buried 
    in the 
    praise 

    Given 
    so 
    cheap 

    With 
    a meaningless 

    movement 
    of the 
    jaws 

    In the 
    looking 
    glass 

    That flatters 
    you 

    Or in the 
    rattle 
    of 
    hollow 
    applause 

    Verse 5
    Blind 
    circle, 
    moon 
    and sun 
    body 
    willing, 

    mind 
    undone 

    One pain 
    ending 
    while 
    an

    other 
    begins 

    Lies, 
    ruin 
    disease 

    Into wounds 
    like 
    these 

    Let the 
    truth 
    sting 

    Verse 6

    From 
    the hub 
    to the 
    limit 

    Through 
    the 
    urban 
    hollows 

    Out 
    into the 
    poles 
    of 
    the extreme 

    To 
    echo 
    through 
    the numbness 

    Of these 
    godless 
    minutes 

    In the 
    shadow 
    of 
    delusion's re

    gime 

    And here 
    watching 
    the 
    night 
    As it opens 
    Verse 7

    like 
    a flower 

    And the 
    day 
    starts 
    to rust 

    Feeling 
    time 
    pound 

    Like a silent 
    hammer 

    On this 
    em
    pire 
    of dust 

    And 
    I'm think
    ing 
    bout the 
    bullet 

    And the 
    TV 
    screen, 
    the dollar, 

    and the clenched 
    fist 

    And if we're 
    searching 
    for 
    peace 

    How come 
    we still 
    believe 

    In hatred 
    as 
    the catalyst 

    Verse 8
    Oh 
    through the 
    borderline 

    In front 
    and behind 

    One pain 
    ending 

    While 
    an
    other 
    begin 

    Lies, 
    ruin 
    disease 

    Into wounds 
    like 
    these 

    Let the 
    truth 
    sing 

    Yeah 

    Let the 
    truth 

    Verse 9
    And I feel 
    it from the 
    pit of 
    my stomach 

    Into the 
    ditch 
    of my 
    mind 

    Inside 
    the chambers 
    of my 
    heart 

    As I stare 
    half 
    blind 

    At these 
    walls 
    of cardboard 

    At 
    this space 
    that I've 
    rented 

    At your 
    beauty 
    that is 
    crumbling 

    Though 
    you 
    try so 
    hard 
    to prevent 
    it 

    Verse 10
    On 
    and 
    on 

    Body 
    willing, 
    mind 
    undone 

    One pain 
    ending 
    while 
    an

    other 
    begins 

    Lies, 
    ruin, 
    disease 

    Into wounds 
    like 
    these 

    Let the 
    truth 
    sting 

    Let the 
    truth 
    sting 

    Let the 
    truth 
    sting

    • 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

      Rose the Black Cat

      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 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      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!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      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.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
