Chill Of Your Breath

Let's Start Making Sense

By: Connor Matak and Driftwood Holly
Recorded in 2011 at the 'Old Cabin', Sunnydale, YT.

Chords:
Capo 2
C, Am, Em, G (all the way through)

Verse 1:

You seem to be speaking my language
But I don't understand your eyes
You want to peak my interest
By telling me the same old lies
Saying you're the voice of a nation
Saying you're the voice of our nation

Chorus: 
Let's start making sense,
Start making sense,
Let's start making sense today

Verse 2:

Claiming you're the voice of our nation
Campaigning with automated calls
Just wait until the trodden - upon rise
And watch as your fabricated system falls
And watch as your fabricated empire falls

Chorus

(Holly's Solo)

Verse 3:
Well you squeaked in on a slim majority,
And now us like-minded are the minority
Commanding conformity…
Well you have the gall!
Just wait until the trodden rise,
And and watch that empire fall.
Just watch as the trodden-upon rise,
And watch that empire fall

Chorus 2:
It's stopped making sense (today)
It's stopped making sense (today)
It's stopped making sense (today, today)

(Holly's Whistle Solo)

(Holly's Solo 2)

Verse 3:

Saying you're the voice of our nation.
Claiming you're the voice of our nation.

Chorus x2
