    • Verse 1
    The sputtering 
    blink 
    of the 

    street 
    lamp 

    Makes 
    you taller, 

    then 
    shrinks 
    you, then 
    splits 
    you 
    in 
    half 

    So 
    you're trail
    ing 
    yourself 
    on 
    your 

    walk 
    to 
    the 
    pay 
    phone 

    Your pockets 
    weighted 
    down 
    with quarters 

    and 
    the hope 
    that no 
    one's 
    home 

    You spray 
    paint 
    cinnamon 
    on 
    vines 
    and key 

    the cars 
    you pass 
    by 

    Your ears 
    burn 
    and 
    your 
    voice 

    don't 
    sound 
    right 

    Verse 2

    So 
    you spend 
    the next 
    week 

    playing 
    weakened 

    Rolling 
    three 
    men 
    alone 
    in the 

    dark 
    of 
    your kitchen 

    Your 
    apart
    ment 
    can't 
    talk 
    so 

    it's safe 
    for 
    your 
    secrets 

    All 
    the stor
    ies 
    you've 
    invested 
    with 
    a 

    mas
    ochist, menacing 
    mean
    ing 

    Those 
    tired 
    tricks 
    that 
    you play 

    to graph 
    the 
    life 
    to 
    your name 

    And you 
    know it's 
    not 
    yours 
    but for 
    now 
    it's 

    Interlude 1
    okay 




    Verse 3
    You 
    wake 
    and 
    cut 
    your 
    initials 

    in 
    cheap 
    glass 

    To mark 
    a space 
    for 
    yourself 
    when your 

    time 
    here 
    has 
    passed 

    When 
    you're 
    drifted 
    and 
    done, 

    trading 
    danger 
    for 
    dis
    tance 

    All 
    those 
    rocks 
    that 
    rope 
    your neck 
    are finally 

    nameless 
    and 
    weight
    less 
    and 
    face
    less 

    And 
    you strip 
    the sting 
    from the 
    stains 

    that bleed 
    the life 
    from 
    your face 

    Your cheeks 
    will burn 
    red 
    on 

    a pure 
    perfect 
    day

      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.
