    • Verse 1
    Like 
    a desert, 
    so 
    smooth 

    So 
    calm, 
    like 
    velvet 

    Like 
    wire, 
    so taut 

    So stretched, 
    like 
    steel 

    The surface 
    is 
    rippling 

    And 
    straining and 
    cracking 

    From 
    within 

    Like 
    a bomb 
    just 
    ticking 

    And 
    wait
    ing 
    like 
    hours 

    And 
    hours 
    keep 
    folding 

    And 
    winding 
    and 
    stretch

    ing 

    And deep down 
    inside 

    The founda
    tions 
    are 

    tearing 
    apart 

    And the 
    holes 
    are all 
    gap
    ing 

    Swallowing 
    everything 

    Please 
    take 
    me out 
    of 
    this dream 

    Ten
    sion 


    Nightmares 
    like 
    circles 

    Of 
    lies all 
    hidden 

    Seeth
    ing 
    and 
    smouldering 

    Under 
    the 
    covers 

    No 
    fire, 
    no 
    passion 

    But un
    easy 
    silence 

    And peace 

    In 
    ter
    ror 
    I'm 
    wait
    ing 

    For the 
    one 
    great 
    explosion 

    Please 
    take me 
    out of 
    this 
    dream 

    Ten

      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

      "

      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.
