All Systems Red Lyrics


Felt a tremor stir beneath my breath
That forecasts storms on the Gallup poll
Woke up from the nightmare news
And hoping to read a sign in the morning airNothing 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 silence note
It's only heard from far, far awayMore 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 legsJust 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 awayI 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 choiceEverything you heard 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 agoWhen the dread is flowing down my veins
I want to 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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
