All Systems Red

Felt a tremor stir beneath my breath

That forecasts storms on the gallup poll

Waking up from the nightmare news

Hoping to read a sign in the morning air

Nothing changes here and nothing improves

All say my friends who just want out

And leave these troubles behind

Scatter like paper in the eye of the storm

Documented with a silenced note

That's only heard from far away

More cards in play, following suit

Everywhere you look, you only see red

Wonder when to call off the race

Watching a horse running down its last legs

When you think it couldn't get much worse

Watch the numbers rise on the death toll

And the chimes of freedom flash and fade

Only heard from far, far away

I hear you can't trust in your own

Now the grey is broken in the early morn

And the words forming barely have a voice

It's just your heart that's breaking without choice

Everything you hear is distorted in your head

Bouncing off the walls, unraveling the thread

Staying up with the blue screen glow

Forgetting everything you ever dreamed years ago

When the dread is flowing down my veins

I want to tear it all down and build it up again

Tear it all down and build it up again

Hear your heart that's breaking without choice

I want to hear those chimes ring again

Ring again
