Verse 1

]

 Wouldn't it be nice if we were close

 Or pretending that we were could kill the ghost

 Maybe I'd cooperate but I'm done

  (orDmaj7)

That's not breaking news, you cannot

 Turn the volume down as you choose

 Somewhere in a house across the sea

 Maybe in a distant memory

 Now and then you'd reappear out of nowhere

 Like some ricochet now you wade

 Against the current in our old bay

Shimmering underneath the sea

Sentimental echoes sparked by memory

:) :)

Hard to make believe nothing means anything to me

[[Tranny]]

Verse 2

]

 Rehashing the wounded patriarch

 On a tattered throne with a broken heart

 From a home where you don't earn your stripes

  (orDmaj7)

You have to demand your rights

 But you'll never win if you try

Bridge

]

But in some corridor

 Flickers a poor stubborn light

I can't put it out or burn it down

 I cannot turn this ship around, around

 We're almost emptied out

Sentimental echoes cynical with doubt

:) :)

Hard to make believe nothing means anything to me
