V1 (Intro: Part 2)
The static comes in slow
You can feel it grow
Our stream of conscience flows
Under the streets below
V1: Interlude (Don't Palm Mute)
Whoa, whoa-o, whoa, whoa-o
The rivers made of sound
Still running underground
Runs like a silent flood
We run as thick as blood
Pre-Chorus 1 Can you hear it rise? Up from the ground E|---------------------------------------------|B|---------------------------------------------|G|------------------10-----------------5-------|d|-------------------8-[8x]------------3-[8x]--|A|-------------------8-----------------3-------|D|-------------------8-----------------3-------|
Can't drown it out? Can you hear it now?

Of a haunted nation! We are the voice of breaking E|---------------------------|B|---------------------------|G|-------------------7-------|d|-------------------5-[8x]--|A|-------------------5-------|D|-------------------5-------|(REPEAT CHORUS)Down! Can you hear me? This is the sound of the desperation bound By our own collision We are the voice of breaking down
Interlude: Same as Intro: Part 2 (Don't Palm Mute)
V2 (Same as V1)
The static comes alive
Beneath the broken skies
John Perkins said it right
Love is the final fight
Pre-Chorus 2
Let it rise above
Rise above
There is no song
Louder than love
Chorus
Bridge (Can't hear the solo well enough -- update to come when album version is released)
