    Verse 1

    Dead 
    lungs 
    command 
    it 

    You 
    pour 
    your 
    life 
    down 
    the 

    rifle's 
    spiral 

    And show 
    us 
    you've 
    earned 
    it 

    Cleric's 
    fog 
    will 
    re
    cede 

    right 
    before 
    your 
    eyes 

    Verse 2
    So 
    long 
    to 
    this 
    wretched 
    form 

    Those 
    gray 
    eyes 
    on the subway 

    Long 
    be
    fore 
    you 
    were born 

    You 
    were always 
    to 
    be 

    a dagger 
    floating 

    Straight 
    to 
    their 
    heart 

    Verse 3
    Listen, 
    now, 
    we won't 
    tell 
    anyone 

    But 
    you're gonna 
    tell 
    the world 

    So 
    life 
    ain't 
    then 
    any 
    fun 

    Now your 
    viscera 
    unfurl 

    Verse 4
    As 
    you 
    rise, 
    rise 
    from 
    your 
    burning 
    fiat 

    Go, 
    go 
    get my 
    suitcase, 
    would 
    you? 

    You've 
    thoroughly 
    blown 
    their 
    mind 

    And 
    now 
    I must 
    have 
    passage 
    on 
    the lines 

    Interlude 1
    To 
    the veins 
    from 
    your 
    heart 



    Verse 5
    You're 
    not 
    in
    visible, 
    now 

    You 
    just 
    don't 
    ex
    ist 

    Your 
    mother 
    must 
    be 
    so 

    proud 

    You sublimate 
    yourself, 

    Interlude 2
    granting 
    us 
    a wish 


    Prim
    itive 
    Verse 6
    mirror 
    on 
    the wall 

    To fortify 
    your 
    grim 
    resolve 

    Amid 
    the 
    glitz 
    of a 
    shopping 
    mall 

    Another 
    grain 
    of 
    indigent 

    salt 
    for 
    the sea 

    Verse 7
    Go back 
    to 
    this 
    wretched 
    form 

    All them 
    gray 
    eyes 
    on the subway 

    So 
    long 
    be
    fore 
    you 
    were born 

    You 
    were 
    always 
    to 
    be 

    a dagger 
    floating 

    Straight 
    to 
    their 
    heart

    • 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.
