[Verse]
G C
Seven o'clock in the morning, got a message from afar
G/B C
Down under an oasis where there are dreams still being born
G C
And summer spoke to winter relaying all encouraging words
G/B C
And I was fully grateful mutant messages were heard
G C
Moved on from my despondency and left it in the bed
G/B C
Do I leave it there still sleeping or maybe kill it better yet?
G C
For this is no time for depression or self indulgent hesitance
G/B C G C
This fucked-up situation calls for all hands, hands on deck
G C
Freedom is as freedom does and freedom is a verb
G/B C
They giveth and they taketh and you fight to keep that what you've earned
G C
We saw the destination, got so close before its turned
G/B C G C
Swim sideways from this undertow and do not be deterred
[Chorus]
A Em
Floodlight dreams go drifting past
G D
All the lives we could've had
A Em
Distant loves floating above
G D
Close these eyes. They've seen enough
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
G C
Caught the butterfly, broke its wing then put it on display
G/B C
Stripped of all its beauty once it could not fly high away
G C
Still alive like a passer-by overdosed on gamma rays
G/B C G C
Another "God's" creation destined to be thrown away
G C
Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse they forged the north and west
G/B C
Then you get Sitting Bullshit as our sitting president
G C
Talking to his mirror, whats he say, what's it say back?
G/B C G C
A tragedy of errors, who'll be last to have a laugh?
[Chorus]
A Em
His best days gone, hard to admit
G D
Throwing angry punches with nothing to hit
A Em
Luminous thoughts were once all he had
Em D
Fading lights, lost eloquence
A Em
There's still a fire in the engine room
G D
Knows relief will be coming soon
[Instrumental]

What’s to be done

Carve a path for Rivers reign

Oceans rising with the waves

Held by these thoughts

They refuse to slip away, o-oh

Hangman in dreamland

About to call your name
